Starts with stomach cramps, then feeling very sick.


OK could have handled that. Thought it was something I'd eaten till I heard from a work colleague it was a thing going round.


But very sore eyes?? Headache? Is this part of the same bug or just some horrible coincidence?


May have to miss my first Goose gig ever :-S:-$

Not necessarily but your original post reminded me of the symptoms I had when I had Dengue Fever (mosquito spread tropical disease)My eyes would hurt if I looked in a different direction too quickly.


This does not sound like Dengue though if it is over in a day or two. Sorry to panic you! just worth mentioning in case you had been somewhere tropical. Dengue is not as bad as malaria although it feels pretty horrendous when you are going through it!


Hope you feel better soon.

If you are very worried and have been sick for more than 3 days with diarrhoea or vomiting go to the doctor. Sore eyes could have a number of causes - allergic rhinitis (very common even in people who do not have other symptoms in nose), sitting in front of a computer screen too long with bad lighting, tiredness because of poor quality sleep. If you really don't want to go to the doctors or cannot get an appointment, speak to a pharmacist. There may well be medically trained people on the Forum and it would be great if they responded but failing that, you may just end up with a bit of scare mongering (Dengue Fever?!).


Edited to say, I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Sue ny sons girlfriend had it, only lasted a day, I was away and he phoned me at 2.30am, panicking. He gave her some slippery elm which helped her stomach, but no sore eyes. Anything with eyes I use castor oil before bed, put some on cotton wool before sleeping and wipe over eyes, dont worry about it going into eyes, it will stop infection, help remove anything in there, Ive found it to be great for most eye complaints.

No definitely not dengue fever, my ex had that in Malaysia following a dodgy mosquito net in some vile hotel in a city in Sumatra (country dropping) whose name escapes me but where I never want to go again, grammar, and was very much iller than this!


I'm not worried about any of it, just interested to know whether anybody had had the sore eyes as part of the other bug.


But thanks all :)

      Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

      Harvey and Wheeler in Dulwich Village? Only one I know… How can they offer to apply and never did? Surely; whether they are managing the property or not and with tech been so advanced I would have thought they would have been a couple of e mails sent as a reminder or, is it the Landlord’s responsibility to apply… Rental Law/ Bill has just come  into force  - can’t remember if it was this week or last and have been to busy to read.. However, will as assume it is not individual councils but all councils. Came up on Which on line.. Good point Jen Jen Jen - sure some knowledgable person on here can throw more light than I.

      Does this mean then that anybody who rents out their home in East Dulwich needs one of these licenses? And does everyone of these landlords have one?
