I woke up this morning with a sore throat. I've only eaten some scrambled eggs today and a little thing of pudding. I think i have a low fever as well. I think I'm calling it an early nite, taking some nyquil and going to my bed... this stinks. I don't have any time off, because i just started my new job in march and I need to save anytime off for my sisters wedding in sept.

can someone make this go away???

Hope you feel better soon.

Lotsa hugs,

2 months ago there was something going through the air here in Tampa... EVERYONE seemed to have gotten it.

Starts sore throat, then fever, then poos and lasts about a week.

yep you hit it on the head Mik, i threw up last nite, then this morning...the poos it was sorry if this is TMI for everyone. I have absolutely no appetite, and I had to call in to work because there was absolutely no way i could go into work...I'm in the bathroom every twenty minutes. I was up almost all nite, and just woke up from a three hour nap. The only thing I have for the BRAT diet is rice. I might try to get to the store so i can get some bread, and bananas and maybe some ginger ale..oh and immodium :shock:

The last part is night sweats and then it will be over but hun... it is about a week long. Believe me, your co-workers dont want this.

The weakness is scary.

I had night sweats last nite, it made sleeping unbearable, not to mention i woke up and felt so disgusting. I called my sister and thanked her because she had this about a week ago, she's doing her pediatric rotation for med school right now and this is exactly how she started.

Aww Gwen!
She gave it to you when you were helping her move. What a caring and loving sister you have. What a bummer! I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down. Wish I lived close, I'd run to the store for u and slip it all under the door for u. Bless your sick little heart. Feel better!!!

Hugs and healthy thoughts,
Jen

Ugh, yep same thing... probably two more nights of that and its cycles out.

So sorry you're sick... I lost 5 pds when I had it. NOT good.

Jen you're sooo sweet! Thank you!

Well the good news is that i ate a little rice for lunch and was able to keep it down. I have a fever that comes and goes tho..

Yeah Mik my sister lost like 6lbs when she was sick.

I've just been sleepin off and on.. and watching a little tv

Im glad the puking is only for a night because, for me atleast, it was VERY violent. I didnt even gag to throw up... just gushed like a hose. Sorry if TMI but knowledge is power. Like how they do on TV spoofs. All yellow and massive amounts to the point you think 'where could this be coming from'. Because you certainly cant eat.

Youre on the down side. Remember not to sleep too much during the day so you dont mess your routine up, but I know how tired it makes you. Gotta admit, it puts you on your **** to the point the rest actually feels nice despite being so sick.

I wonder if this virus went North from here OR south from there. Damn transportation system. hehe
