Good morning Ellie, sorry you are having such a rough time of it. There are just some days that really suck aren't there? I know its hard to do anything when you feel sickly but I walk every day no matter how horrid I am feeling, for some reason it helps. I also use alot of herbals to help with the naseau, like drinking chamomile tea or ginger tea, these actually do work. As far as disappointing your family, I would say go for a little whle then leave, you can tell people that you aren't feeling well if they ask. Hope you feel better soon. Rachele
