Shortly after getting in from work last night I started to feel rough, after about an hour I started to throw up at 30 minute intervals and then the diarrhoea and shaking started. Had it through the night and now just exhausted and sipping water. So far it seems to point to Norovirus. But I'm also constantly freezing cold, I can't warm up at all, I've had a quick look at the symptons and this isn't mentioned. Did anybody who's had this also get this freezing feeling?

Bloody Flu for 2 weeks at Christmas and now this!

I had exactly what you seem to have a few weeks back, It seemed to clear after a couple of days, not sure what it was but it certainly floored me!
Hope it clears soon!

Dear br d,

Mrs Noise and me had it, fortunately 48hrs apart, me 1st, Mrs Noise had it the worst despite me having Addisons. We both shivered uncontrollably for some of the time despite being in bed under thick duvets with the heating on.

Keep up with the fluids smile

regards,
Jet

Sounds about right. Best described as flu-like symptoms combined with a fire hose on full flow at both ends.

Voiding.
My office colleagues kindly requested I cease and desist describing my symptoms at this point,

regards,
Jet

Thanks for the replies, your descriptions are pretty much spot on.
I just ate a bit of toast, now waiting for the inevitable!

The worst part is I was booked in at Owens to test drive an LP560 at lunchtime, don't think they would have been too pleased to have me in one of their cars today!

Sounds right. Took me an hour to eat a slice of bread after I'd finished emptying. Just pinching bits off. You'll be fine in a day or so.

I had that last year. I originally put it down to food poisoning but then when OH got it less than a week later, I realised what it was.

I felt utterly atrocious - woke up in the night feeling ill, then spent the next 24 hours on the bog in both ways. Just getting up and down the stairs was a challenge as I felt so weak.

Pinching with said condition resulting in something akin to a thumb over the end of a hosepipe? biggrin

The advice with suspected norovirus is to avoid work etc for 48hrs after symptoms have cleared!

Dioralyte is your friend: http://dioralyte.co.uk/

I had the same symptoms and found it really helped as I really did not want to eat - horrible experience.

I remember a very unpleasant drive back from Donington - fortunately husband was with me, and furnished me with a bucket, after the hotel insisted we checkout (supposed to be doing a trackday but had to bin that !)

Got some very strange looks on the motorway on the way home - race car on trailer, check. Car full of tools, check. Girl in passenger seat with sick bucket, check !!!!!

Well it's eased up now, I'm completely drained and I feel like someone has been hammering a fence post down my windpipe but apart from that it's a big relief. I'm just glad it hit at the weekend.

I can understand how this virus can spell serious trouble for the vulnerable.

I had it at the start of december and apart from when I was straining every muscle to be sick (when I felt like I was on fire) I was freezing cold. This is while wearing 3 layers and in bed with 3 blankets. It was grim.

Fortunately it only acutely lasted about 12 hours, had the trots for another day or so then felt fine. Managed to lose half a stone though, and most of that was just liquid and muscle mass judging by how knackered I was walking down the high street a few days later.

Not sure if I've got this or food poisening at the moment. Symptoms as described and I couldn't 't keep any water down, which made me seriously worried.

Still on track for noro. The Mrs couldn't keep water down either.
