Norovirus - kill me now
Discussion
I haven't been ill since I was living in Delhi last April and ate some dodgy street food.
But now I have this Norovirus thing. Sweet baby Jesus, what the hell are you supposed to do? I'm just lying in bed, drinking plenty of fluids and eating those Belvita biscuit things, then promptly hurling it all back up again. Been this way for 24hrs now, how fecking long does it last?
The worst part is being quarantined from my 3 month old baby girl, it's killing me not being able to give her a cuddle.
Still, almost finished Series 3 of the Walking Dead, which is nice.

Jesus, good luck mate.
My Mrs had it last year, it was pretty horrid to say the least. She was on Dioralyte which is a salt / mineral replacement drink.
I know, your arse is like a blood orange and you never want to see food again. On the plus side you might lose a stone the easy way
What do you think of TWD S3?

put a plastic chair in the shower and turn the telly to face it
Had it over Easter and have to agree. Its the s
tting water while puking at the same time which makes the shower a must, but wasn't lucky enough for a tv, just cold shivering sweats. Imodium calmed down the squits for me after about 7 hours so I could get some sleep.
Good luck and appreciate the weight loss.
That made me laugh more than it should have, but also praying that I don't get norovirus!Deep joy.. just how contagious is it? 
We had a hammering on the door this morning from the neighbour directly below because our bathroom was flooding his. After scampering about our flat, going in & out & generally trying to turn our water off (didnt work), touching the tools, flash light and tin of WD40 he then told us he had Norovirus.

Pink rinse, if he genuinely had it he wouldn't have been standing looking fine n well, he would be pale as a ghost and producing liquid for at least one end. Lol
Op, get well soon. You'll be find in a couple of days n chances are if it's easing off now the nastyness will have stopped by the morning n it's just getting your strength back

Aah, Norovirus my old friend...
We all had it two years ago. OH and eldest weren't too bad. Youngest kept puking up and we were running the washing machine constantly as she was going through bedding at such a rate.
In between trips to the toilet I was watching the Top Gear Christmas special where they take a trip across the holy land. There is one scene where Hammond emerges from a toilet and refers to 'brown rain'. I knew EXACTLY what he was talking about!

Wet wipes. You're gonna need wet wipes. Until I had kids and the need for wet wipes in the house, I didn't appreciate quite how kind they are to ones ringer when it's squirting every 15 mins or so.
I eased my self back onto food with dry cream crackers. I've had it twice now, and can honestly say I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Had it (or something very similar) twice in the last few years, most recently before Christmas. Suspect I picked it up in a school or from crockery in a pub.
Ended up with a few days off work - very unusual for me as I'm self employed!
Shiverinf, foetal position, not sleeping, both ends running wild at the same time and generally wanting to die.
Try not to sneeze...

I would add to this by advising that you never ever try to soothe the affected part with Anbesol mouth ulcer gel. I did it so you don't have to.Chin up
