Norovirus, feels like I am dying

[R1gtr]

Hi everyone, hoping someone has tips on how to beat this, currently 24 hours in to this virus and I am still vomitting constantly and peeing out my butthole!

I just cant keep fluids down and starting to feel bit dehydrated I think.
How long does this go on for? Any remedies worked for you?
If anyone lives in the Highlands with a shotgun feel free to come around and put me out of my misery, never been this sick before

Tried Lucozade but it comes straight back up, currently trying flat lemonade, seems to be staying down slightly longer than water and Lucozade.
I feel a total tool as I heard about norovirus before but though 'It cant be that bad can it??' now I know just how bad it is, my stomach is cramped from all the wretching, agony.

The non fizzy sport stuff, the lemonade seems to be helping as the gas is making me burp which is relieving the trapped wind. It is reassuring to know that you guys have come out the other side of this ok, as it feels like it will never end even passed out during the Moto Gp

what's your address mate,I have something to send you, it is brown, runny and smelly!!

yeah at one point last night I gave up on dignity of any form and lay in the bath with the shower running (i am poor so dont have a seperate shower) and let nature take its course, not a proud moment lying in st and puke

Thanks everyone, finally light at the end of the tunnel, the sickness stopped after midnight, however my stomach is cramping up from all straining, may have a six pack by the end of this!

The diarrhoea is still horrific but as long as there is a bathroom nearby it is manageable.
I have been on the Lucozade sport and probiotic yoghurt which seems to be helping, must be on the mend as I am craving scrambled eggs on toast and a curry

Thanks everyone, pleased to report the worst has passed, managed scrambled eggs on toast last night and toast today, the flat lemonade seemed to agree with my guts more than Coke (I love coke tho), even the diarrhoea has stopped this morning.

To anyone who catches thus virus or anyone who suffers long term gastro or bowel problems, I now have a small understanding of the difficulties you face

One thing to take away from this 'Never trust a fart'

A rule of life that my Uncle taught me was "if you are not 100% sure then it's always better to fart on the loo."

Possibly the most useful advice ever given to me and it has saved me huge embarrassment on at least 2 occasions.

Your Uncle is a wise man

so one year and three weeks later I have been hit again, is god punishing me??
Started feeling that something was wrong at work and the vomiting started, made it home and lunchtime and the floodgates opened at both ends.
I think the worst thing is knowing I have days of this torture left.

Jeez it sounds like this is doing the rounds again, could you all be very kind and stay the fk away from Scotland, I REALLY don't want to catch this again.

For those that do have it make sure to sleep on a towel over black bin bags and if you have a fancy luxury (expensive) feather Duvet I suggest getting someone to buy you one for a tenner from Tesco as you are bound to st the bed at some point, slightly flat coke/ lemonade, pro biotic yoghurts and lucozade sport with Dyoralite powders mixed in will help.

I can't remember what food I ate the last time, but is there anything that stays down? I was thinking watery chicken soup?

Pro biotic yoghurts are your best bet but even that may be a struggle in Day 1-2, good luck, thoughts are with you!
