Could you tell me what I may have?
I have been sick since Friday. Today is Monday. I have been vomiting, but it is not eccescive, it is like every other hour. I have bad headaches, a stuffy nose, and a sore throat. I am not running a fever. Whats up? It is not food poisoning.

It sounds like a bacterial infection of some sort. You will usually have a fever with flu or virus (that's how the body fights it).
However, I know that you say it is not food poisoning, However, some food poisoning can last up to a week.
Get it checked out. If it is bacterial, antibiotics will help (these don't work with flu or virus).
In addition, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids.

do you get chills? Do your joints feel sore?
I would say it's the flu given ur nauseas and stuffed up!
Why are you rulling out food poisoning? Sore throat could be caused by the vomitting. How did your symptoms start?

Sounds like the flu. If you are running a fever please call a doctor. Watch out for dehydration. If you can't keep fluids down then definitely get to a doctor. Best wishes. Get well soon.

vomiting every couple hours IS excessive.you could be dehydrated. that would cause headaches. not sure the major thing though. maybe a virus infection.

its probably just a nasty common virus, you should go to see the doc, but if u dont want to, I say get some ginger tablets and ginger ale, nyquil and rough it out.
