Anyone else in ED got this strange bug?

[Sue]

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 :)

I'm really sorry if my posts were seen as scaremongering. I did not intend them to be that at all.

Didn't take them as scaremongering myself, no probs :)

i've had that!! and know a few people who have had too...! How queer.

[Mellors]

Yes, had it last Saturday/Sunday. I assumed it was dodgy calamari from the Sea Cow on Friday night :S

[EdieF]

speak to a pharmacist

I would never ask a pharmacist. They know a bit about drugs, but they can't diagnose.

[EDmummy]

True EdieF pharmacists cannot diagnose but they often are the first people to notice when a number of people in an area have the same symptoms and how the local doctors are treating the symptoms.

Oh no, just heard I gave it to granddaughter 1, causing her mum and dad to have to spend two days reading endless books to her and watching reruns of Charlie and Lola :-$

[TarahC]

Yep, been off with it today, very hot, headache, sore tummy, sicky feeling, and throbbing painful eyes... feeling better after a day in bed with curtains drawn (and cat on my feet!). Got to go to work tomorrow as I'm a temp and every hour I count how much it's costing me!

[Sue]

Hey get well soon.

I had to miss my first Goose gig ever on Friday night, but sod's law by Saturday I was fine.

Seems to have hit everybody a bit differently, my daughter reckons she only had it for an hour :))

[lenk]

Has anyone else been ill with anything recently?

I had a bit of hayfever the other day, but it seems to have gone now. Goose Green area.

[KalamityKel]

Day 5 and tummy is still grumbling and cramping :-| glad there's this thread - thought there was something not quite right with me! ::o

Hayfever is not so much an illness lenk. Allergies are terrible but we learn to live with it (with a bag full of all sorts of concoctions to fight the invasion of irritants) *sighs*

[lenk]

This is another thread I'm getting framed for the grandkids.

[TJ]

You really are quite odd people.

[Cassius]

How long does it last - this is my third day of cramping and slight fever?

[lenk]

This thread's been going over a week, it feels like it could go on for years.

[KalamityKel]

It varies Cassius me dear it would seem. Some say a couple of days. Some of us are going into day 6 now :(

[lenk]

Make sure you keep us posted with any new developments here on the EDF.

Seems to be very variable in both intensity and duration.

Don't understand those who can't see the point of this thread - I thought I had food poisoning when it started, then I thought I might have something else wrong with my eyes.

It was comforting to find that other people had the same symptoms and it was all part of the bug.

If you don't want to read the thread - erm, then don't. Same as I don't read the threads on the forum which are of no interest to me :)

I don't post on them making rude remarks about why the thread is there and the characteristics of the people posting :)

The forum would be pretty clogged up if everyone did that, innit :))

[Sandperson]

I'm with you Sue. I thought I had food poisoning and with a little one in the house it was good to know it was a bug rather than having to clear out my whole fridge etc.

I'm glad it's not Dengue fever though ;)

you're right. nobody should post in those threads. even if they contain beyond-hilarious posts alluding to Dengue fever.

I didn't actually think people 'spat tea at their screens', when I read that milk was pretty much frothing out of my nose.

So am I, if there was a chance of having that again I'd run for the hills :))
