Vomiting and nausea

[tonyvid]

Is there a winter vomiting bug going around at the moment?

I've had a rotten time since Saturday when I had some serious violent and instant vomiting(sorry for the detail!) and have been ok since then apart from constantly feeling queasy, semi-heaving every now and then(with no follow through thankfully), can hardly face food etc. I've not had the squits at all.

If I still feel the same by the end of today I'll get a Doctors appointment but there seems little point if it's a virus and I might put some oldie in the waitng room at risk!!!

Lot of it around and whilst I have not had a severe case of it , I simply cannot shake it off.
I cannot afford to lose anymore weight as it is .
Doctor was not much help , pretty much said " yes it's a bug going around ." that was after a three day wait for an appointment

Google Norwalk Virus or Winter Vomiting Virus

Cheers, I'll stay away from the Docs then!

There seems to be a lot of it about. Plenty of fluid and rest in a ventilated room seems to be the standard recommendation. Paracetamol if necessary due to cramps etc.

I don't think I've ever felt as cold as I did on Saturday afternoon - fully clothed under a 12tog duvet in a warm house and still doing my impression of Scott!


Horrid, at least I was only using the input port and not the normal output one as well!!!

Why a ventilated room?

I've been laid low since Sunday with the same thing, slowly starting to feel better but it's properly knocked me for six.
