that wasn't the end. the upset stomach not only did not go away, but worsened. i had originally intended to keep driving, but instead i decided to stop and get a hotel room for the night just to try to sleep off the feeling. the problem was that everywhere i went was completely full. several fruitless exits later, i found a hotel that had 1 cancellation and took it even though it was $180 for one fucking night. that should give you some perspective on how bad i felt. i paid nearly $200 just to be able to lie down and moan.
i was in such pain that i couldn't even sleep. i have never in my life had a stomach ache bad enough to prevent me from sleeping until this. it was nausea on a spiritual level. i was so drained of energy that after a couple of trips from the bed to the bathroom to heave, i just stayed in the bathroom and slept on the floor for a few hours. i paid $180 to sleep on a hotel bathroom floor because of these energy shots from hell. fuck these things, for real. i'll take sugar and guarana any day over some kind of magical B vitamin bullshit.
