Norovirus without vomiting?

[Guffy]

Second day of bad headaches, achey joints, stomach cramps and diarrhoea, but no vomit?

Doesn't really help me as i feel like st regardless, but wondering if i do have Norovirus?

Seems like Norovirus to me, it's exactly what I had earlier in the year. I've never felt so ill before, it lasted two weeks and I lost a pound in weight a day. I later discovered I'd caught it at a friend's house where her grandson had it. I put myself in quarantine and drank lots of water, dehydration is to be avoided!

Same for me last week. Held on to my dinner but it was close. Almighty bout of the two bob bits at 3am & two days of headaches then straight into man flu for a Brucey bonus.

Me either, I had it a couple of years ago and it was shocking. I was seriously ill for one day then felt like crap for another week after.

Thanks for the replies, it must be 20-years since i've been off work due to illness, but this has really floored me.

It's our company dinner dance this Saturday night, not sure i'm going to be fit from the comments here!

You're supposed to leave 48hrs after the symtoms have gone before mixing with people again.

Norwalk virus

Campylobacter

Rotavirus

Salmonella

There are many and varied suspects

I think I have it I felt bloody awful last Thursday morning so much so I took the afternoon off work. Friday I felt better but still a little rough.
Saturday I felt 100% and was raring to go for our Christmas do which was last night. Anyway at the restaurant I had really bad diarrhea and the second time I thought right I'm off home.

I've spent the night on the toilet, and whilst I feel fine I daren't move away from the house in case I get caught short. I have honestly never had diarrhea as bad in my life but now I'm worried I'll give it the missus or worse my 1 year old son

I feel your pain.

I've been cuddling the porcelain since early this morning. Both ends. I had it 5 or 6 years ago and it was horrific, worst illness I've ever had so I'm not really looking forward the next 24/48 hours.

Worried about work too, was recently off with a bad cold for several days and I HATE being off work.

Water, people. As much water as you can manage. Diarolyte if you can stomach it is better.

My wife got Norovirus and it sent her into labour.
I got it 3 days later- I couldn't imagine what sort of hell delivering a baby is when you feel like that

Actually I can because she still goes on about it but you know what I mean...

I found the bathroom distance between the bowls was just right.......

And yes, lots of water.

Thanks for the feedback.

Traced my problem to Salmonella from an uncooked chicken nugget (2-days before symptoms) which i'd forgotten about until my misses reminded me

Took me a week to recover so and i still have bowel probs and difficulty in regulating my temperature, woke up in pool of sweat last night, gross.
