Virus going around?

[ontherye32]

Has anyone else been struck by a virus? My little one was off food for a few days and had a vaguely

snotty nose then did a sick and seems absolutely fine now. I, on the other hand, have been flattened for 3 days. Nearly passed out, off food, really tired.... Just wondered if it's doing the rounds?

I think there may be! A friend had a vomiting bug last week, and I've had a temperature, flu-like symptoms, stomach cramps and d+v (ick) since Wednesday. I'm half and half as to whether it's a local virus or food poisoning?

Think we have had it too. Little un vomited 4 times, I didn't so much but upset tum, nausea, as you say flattened for 4 days, off food and EXHAUSTED. In fact, have been feeling a bit flat/low after it, have any of you had that too? Hoping it will clear away soon, but am surprised that the after effect still seems to be hanging around 6 days after I first got it.

Yep, I have had it twice this month, I got terrible stomach cramps, temperature, but once I was sick, I was fine. I too thought I had food poisoning but nope, it was a virus. Hope you feel better soon, it was not easy looking after a baby whilst being ill ( thank Goodness he didn't catch it!).

Oh dear. Sounds like the same thing. Hope you are all feeling back to normal soon. It took until yesterday to feel quite a lot better (Day 5!) but still not very energetic. I thought these things lasted 24 hours!!! Get well soon everyone - it is not funny looking after little ones when you're poorly xx

Ahh, I too thought I had food poisoning a couple of weeks ago - it came on really suddenly (unfortunately I was in PR park at the time so spent a good period of time vomiting by a tree - pleasant for all around - apologies if any forumites had to witness it!) and then was completely wiped out for the rest of the day/night and fairly jaded for the next two days. In a way glad it was a virus as the only thing I'd eaten which was different to my DH and DD was at a place we really like to eat, and was a bit sad that it would put me off going there for a while....

[Ruth_Baldock]

Yep, I feel drained too. Think I'm over the sickness part but I'm really tired, doesn't help that tomorrow dh goes back to work and I have to look after our 7 month old by myself :( ah well hopefully it'll all clear and I'll be back to normal soon!

Ah. There is something going round then? I was wondering this. I have been feeling really faint and nauseous, stomach cramps, dizziness & now the beginnings of a cold. Then again I've been suffering everyday for 3 weeks now. So cant be this..?! There must of been another bug around 3 weeks ago as I knew a good few people who had 24 hours sickness, probably still traveling somewhere. Not nice.
