Ever had Food Poisoning? Options

[95CelicaST]

On Sunday I took the girlfriend to Red Robin (In Auburn, next to the Supermall.. for those WA people). The food was good and all was grand. We finished dinner and I took her home. I go home and go to bed. Next thing I know I am waking up at 2:30AM Monday morning. Feeling... different. I sat in bed for a while and then decided to go hug the toilet. Basically I would get up every 45 minutes and go throw up and then go back to bed. This went until about 2:00PM Monday, when I stopped throwing up and started feeling like even more crap. I was freezing, all cramped up, sick, and just not feeling too good. I went to sleep that night and woke up the next morning feeling alright. As the day progressed I realized the sick feeling was gone, however the intestinal cramps were still there. I popped some Asprin and went to work. All I ate yesterday was half a can of soup. Today I wake up and suprise! Intestinal cramping STILL here! I ate 2 bites of soup.. and thats all I had today. Also my neck is stiff as a board. I can't turn my head either way, nor up or down. I believe that if this isn't gone in the morning I will be calling my doctor...

Anyone else get food poisoned? If so, where and what did you have?

yeah i have gone through exactly the same thing a few years ago. we had gone to a nice pizzeria and decided to order a pizza with lots of olives and calmari and feta cheese. it was delicious. fast forward a few hours later and i was in the same state you found yourself earlier this week. both my gf/ and i were sick but the couple we were with were OK (they ordered something more conventional). called the restaurant and they admitted that the feta cheese was "not quite as fresh as we usually serve it" on that day. threatened to call health officials and have them shut down so they offered to reimburse our meal and serve us a complimentary meal... NO THANKS. we have never set foot in that dump again and tell everyone about them when the situation presents itself. i wonder how many other people got sick that day and just said to themselves "it's just a 24 hour flu"
