Symptom narrative

July 7, 2025 9 pm mild flu like symptoms, July 8, 9 am significant flue like symptoms that continued to worsen. By mid day sensation of hole being drilled in top center of skull, intensely nauseated, repeated episodes of vomiting and dry heaves. Nothing consumed but a few sips of coffee, and water. Coffee was not repeated as vomiting was nearly immediate. Impossible to keep even small amounts of water down. Dizziness, difficult to walk. Only rose to vomit and urinate. Slept all day. July 9, 9 am still felt awful, but vomiting stopped able to sip a little water. No appetite. All other symptoms continued, including feeling nauseated. Slept much of the day. July 9, night - insomnia. Bizarre dream during the only 30 minute period of sleep that night. July 10, 9 am still felt awful, plus exhausted from insomnia, eyes burning. Could sip more water and eat a bit more. So dehydrated! Symptoms continued, a bit milder. Basically felt much the same, just less so. By that evening I felt well enough to go out. All meals were followed by a period of feeling bad in the stomach though meals were small. July 11, 9 am felt dizzy and lousy. This "morning sickness" continued until Monday July 14. I would feel vertiginous and nauseated.
