Have you ever been hospitalized for dehydration?

if so how long were you there for. I think I need to go and just trying to get an idea of how long I could be there for.
Thanks.

Yes. I had severe food poisoning a couple of years ago. I was given 2 or 3 bags of fluids and kept until I peed and could have blood drawn. I was there for about 4 hours. I went to Toronto General ER and luckily it was slow and I was taken in almost immediately.

ok, first of all, go!!

shouldnt be more than a few hours, they can get your fluids up with IV, and as long as you respond well, it won't take long.

Totally go!! I went to the hospital for dehydration at 3 weeks post op and I ended up blacking out on the ER floor it was so bad..I was there for a total of 5 hours and 3 hours wwas waiting time...once your in and they do a blood draw and get the results back.. the longest wait (for me anyways..) was watching the saline drip..lol.. that took 2 hours to get 2 bags into me.. But seriously go before it gets worse.. I ended up getting really really dehydrated..and got a really bad UTI that went up into my kidney I was in 3 different hospitals..and a month of antibiotics before I was better..

Well ended up I couldn't go, I was home alone, waiting for my mom to arrive and waiting and waiting.. well I wasn't alone I had my five yr old with me and I knew I couldn't bring him along.
My hubby has since arrived home and brought me som G2 to drink. The headache isn't as bad and the dizziness isn't either. But if I still feel like this in the a.m. I will go after I drop of my kid at school.
