I have now been sick for 24 hours. Experiencing nausea, vomitting, stomach cramps, dry mouth and a headache. I've noticed that the veins on my hands have become really thin. I called my doctors office this morning and they gave me some gel to rub on my wrists, that lets me keep fluids down for about 30 minutes. Should I wait until tomorrow to go to the doctor or should I go to the hospital?

I've had that happen to me before...exactly what's happening to you.

I had to go to the ER and get fluids pumped in me ASAP, so speaking from personal experience, I would go now...but don't panic because it's an "easy fix".

I would go to the hospital dude.. being dehydrated is no fun, at least go to the er and get a saline bolus and you will feel much better.

I've been in the hospital 3 times due to dehydration. It's serious, I'd go now unless your doctor advised you to do otherwise because it isn't that serious in your case.
