This sounds pretty familiar:
Symptoms of norovirus illness usually begin about 24 to 48 hours after ingestion of the virus, but they can appear as early as 12 hours after exposure.
The symptoms of norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and some stomach cramping. Sometimes people additionally have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a general sense of tiredness. The illness often begins suddenly, and the infected person may feel very sick. The illness is usually brief, with symptoms lasting only about 1 or 2 days, but can last longer. In general, children experience more vomiting than adults. Most people with norovirus illness have both of these symptoms.
Been there, done that.
I’ve been ill for 5 days now. I’ve had enough.
I got the swine flu vaccine last Monday and starting feeling pretty crappy on Wednesday; I was very lethargic Thursday and Friday while recovering. During that time, Lisa and the two kids both picked up a tummy bug and were quite ill for a day or so each.
Just as they are fully recovering and I’m overcoming the swine flu reaction I got the tummy bug as well. I felt fine last night and hoped to be getting back to work Monday with a bunch of energy.
Sadly, this morning I went downhill pretty quickly. I felt a little low on energy when I first got up and by midday I was lying in bed unable to really move much at all. I’ve spent the whole day resting as much as you can when your entire body aches, you’ve got a thumping headache that no tablet in the world can fix, and the stomach cramps are at the point of unbearable.
I’ve had a pretty bad fever all day too, but I think that’s finally broken (mind you, it’s now 3am). It’s been nearly 24 hours so hopefully I’ll actually be able to sleep soon and I’ll wake up feeling better. We’ll see.
Who said what?
