A couple of the kids had a stomach ache, headache, crummy feeling bug that lasted for about 24 hours. I was sick yesterday and still feel lousy today. My husband keeps saying I should "take something." There is nothing to take though is there?

I had it. Felt like food poisoning symptoms but no one else I ate with had it. Hit me hard around 2am, and was up all night. Around 8am, I began puking my guts out, every 45 minutes. Then, it spread out to about every 1.25 hours, then less frequently. Stayed in bed til 4pm, then got the strength to shower after drinking gatorade. Ate some saltines, more gatorade, went back to bed and slept until 9am the next day. Woke up and was like new, except dehydrated and no energy from lack of food. Crazy.

BTW, I have found that lemon lime Gatorade is the only thing that tastes decent when it comes back up.

I had a touch of something Tuesday/Wednesday - not nearly as severe as SJ, but just the "knot" you get in the upper part of your stomach just before you get sick. Would feel slightly better after nibbling on crackers/bland food. Wednesday morning, the "knot" had moved down, if you know what I mean. :blush: Four chewable Imodiums later, I was able to drag myself into work and have felt pretty good since yesterday afternoon.

I'm now worried about the four Imodiums...:roll:

My son actually blacked out when standing up from a chair. He hit a table on the way down and came to on the floor seconds later. Now he is fine. I think mine has moved on to a respiratory funk. Perhaps juice.....and vodka!

It's making me crazy. Smalls and I just sit here staring at the kayak and whining. Two beautiful days shot. I hope the weather is still perfect when I feel better.

Yard mold is really high right now from all the rain and warm temps. I can smell it growing out there. Pollen is high too, and wind is blowing it all around. And I think there is a bug going around on top of all that.
Ed at the health food store has a useful nasal spray, big box full sitting right there on the counter, which sort of tells me it isn't just me.......or you, Bobby.

my doc told me Wednesday there is definitely a virus making the rounds...sore throat, congestion, and usually losing your voice. She and I both had it about two weeks ago. Still some remnants of congestion.:yikes:it is miserable.

I was up and around Saturday and thought I was all better. Yesterday, I hit the deck hard. I slept for several hours all day. I guess I am now in the NO VOICE stage of this thing. This bites!!! My throat is killing me and I absolutely have to work this week when I really just want to chug some Nyquil and go back to sleep until it is over!
