Early Friday morning the misses wakes up and runs to the loo to be sick and has the runs, I was still ok so took my 8mth old son to his nans in the morning (he seemed ok) to keep him away from it. By 5pm Friday I was ill, by 3pm Saturday his nan and aunts who I had been looking after my son was also ill, we were all ill for 36hrs and all very rough.

During the whole time my son was fine no probs seemed himself eating sleeping so we didn't think he was the source, but thinking back now he was rather sick once on Wednesday night that was unusual, we are now thinking he was the source but I thought he would of been ill more, can you pick up virus likes this off babies were they might not show much effect were as adults it puts them in bed and over the loo for a few days ?

Yeah, kids can sometimes recover from these things quite quickly but ensure they infect everyone else in the meantime. Bastids.

"norovirus" and "impacted" - not normally heard in the same sentence

(coat>door)

seriously though, best wishes for continued recovery

I've never been so affected by bugs etc until we had kids and wait till they start school.

Once I had the sts and hit sweats with no sickness. I made an initial push to evacuate my arse and no further pushing was required. Just a constant, slow and unstoppable flow out of there. Google "runaway gun"

Only time I had it was after visiting a friend whose grandson had been smearing germs over everything including, it seems, the mug I was drinking from. I was on the bog virtually non-stop, day and night for two weeks...
When I mentioned it to his grandparents, his grandmother laughed and said, "Oh yes, we've all had that...!"

I am exactly the same. Never ever really had anything except a Cold/flu since I can remember, until I had kids.

I type this while being exhausted from my 4th day of my butt hole waterfall sessions. Kids were fine after a day.

Never heard of that when we had kids but now we're grandparents it seems to be rife. You don't want to catch it as an adult - my wife had it really bad.

Hand, foot and mouth and scarlet fever are doing the rounds big time at the moment, norovirus gets more aggressive each year. In a few years these simple illnesses will start killing off people in droves

My son's school has an issue with norovirus and flu at the moment. Last week his class had dropped from 15 to 5 and the school play had half the kids missing.

Has done wonders for the car park though and my ring piece looks like it has been bleached hehe

Unusual that your baby would show less severe symptons because you have a more developed immune system. The moment anyone shows a bit of illness in our house I'm putting Dettol on door handles and light switches. OCR like that!

Actually are you sure it isn't rotavirus? A couple of months back the whole family were making the toilet earn its keep apart from the youngest who had received the rotavirus vaccination.

I'm just hoping me and misses don't catch Hand foot and mouth off him as apparently hits adults hard though its difficult to catch off kids, but when you have literally been holding and comforting your son for 3 days straight I can see how I can't catch it now frown Never heard of hand foot and mouth before this but it is nasty, son seems to have it badly he seems to covered it the spots and blisters, thought we might have had small amount of the ulcers and mouth sores but they appeared in anger last night, he only sleeps for 30min - 1hr after he has stuff to damp down the blistering that also makes him drowsy. Me and the misses are like zombies now think Ive had 4hrs sleep over last 3 night. I've had enough I am really struggling.
