Vomiting for two days, can't afford another er visit.

Physician Responded

25m, 5'4 130lbs, T1D, and cEDS. Currently have an insulin pump, taking citalopram, testosterone, and a daily multivitamin. Hydroxyzine as needed for sleep. Regular drinker, 4-5 drinks a few nights a week.

On Wednesday, I got wasted. Can't remember how much, but I believe it was four beers and some vodka. Not sure. Thursday, I was doing fine until I ate some spicy cauliflower bites that were way undercooked. I didn't care, it was the only thing I had to eat that day, so I ate it. Started vomiting at 2am that night/Friday morning. On Friday, I threw up four times, though it was mostly bile.

Friday night, I drank about 300mL of rum. Didn't get to sleep until five. Woke up at seven, threw up, went to work. Vomited at lunch. Came home, had some soup, and now I've thrown it up again. It's all foamy and smells horrendous.

I can't keep anything down. Water is enough to make me start gagging and I know I'm dehydrated. My blood sugar is going low and I don't know how I'm gonna get anything in me that I won't throw up. I don't know if this is food poisoning or alcohol ketoacidosis or gastritis or dt. I'm planning on detoxing at home after what happened on Friday but urgent care said they can't give me anything to help with withdrawals and I cant afford inpatient detox or the er again. I went in March for alcohol poisoning already.

My acid reflux is crazy. My head hurts, I can't sleep. I'm restless but in pain when I move. My stomach feels swollen from the inside, like I've had a banquet but I haven't eaten anything. The sight of good is making me gag. The lights hurt my eyes. Resting bpm of 80. No way to get a temp at present.

Please help. I'll answer any questions. I don't want to keep doing this.
