norovirus...

[amu]

I just caught this f... noro from my 4-year-old son. It's a great thing to have when you already worry about bowel cancer... :huh: I absolutely hate being sick, it's one of the worst symptoms of all symptoms on the world. Another one is diarrhoea and now I have both. :doh:

I sympathise as last april my husband and I both caught some evil gastro bug the likes of which I have never experienced and I have had quite a few over the years. We had awful flu symptoms and high temp plus diarrhea that was like a tap ( sorry for info!). I was very sick but husband just felt very sick.
We also kept fainting when we moved around which for first 2 days was not much due to having to live in the bathroom about 6 inches from toilet.

We recovered in a week but boy was it nasty.

but I'm sooo thirsty! :blush:Had some Coke as I was craving it... it stopped me throwing up. I know it's the unhealthiest thing ever but it calmed my stomach.

sip water throughout the day and also have some very flat coke - the potassium in that is good - a doc once told me to do that if u have sickness - open a can and let it go flat - but also keep sipping the water

Thank you, the coke thing really works. Strange! I've never heard of this before, but my body wanted it. :)

When my young daughter was sick a couple of years ago the nurse at our doctors surgery told me to give her coke because its got all the right things in it and it worked - she felt a lot better.:)

Flat coke help also take a prebiotic.
