For the last 3 weeks I've had the worst virus I've ever had in my life. A week of diarrhoea followed by not eating anything substantial and lost over a stone in weight, clothes hanging off me and look like I've spent a year in a concentration camp.
Luckily I'm eating again and started to put a bit of weight back on. Apparently our local hospital is full of people who have had it. What has struck me about it is it's similarity to covid.
4 years ago I had covid, almost killed me. In bed for 3 weeks but took a good 6 months to recover fully. Having pernicious anaemia doesn't help so recovery times are going to be longer given that my immune system is very poor but the brain fog and dizziness are exactly the same as covid.
Anybody else out there who has had this recently and took weeks to recover?

Yep - worst illness Ive ever had. You wouldnt believe how much liquid your body is jetting out despite how little you are taking in that it feels like your vital internals must be somehow disolving and falling out of you. Took me about three weeks to be able to hold down anything that wasnt eventually some small bits of dry bread each with a tiny sip of lucozade. Was living off diaralite sachets at first. Anything more was back out a few minutes later. You never feel like you will get better.
Not sure how accurate it was but I'd heard that you can continually keep reinfecting yourself through sweat and saliva so laying in bed pouring with sweat soaking into your bedding (which you cant move from) and brushing your teeth (which you do often, to not be tasting vomit) are actually making you worse as you're continually reabsorbing your miasma of illness.

Recovering here. 12 hours of vomit and jetting overnight, next day laid up and useless, but relatively normal after that but slimmer, worn out and still the squirts.
Cases are high at the moment.
This thing is far worse than Covid, but never reported on.
My household got it, kids first, and I managed to stay clear. Then on the commute home a week or so later, I was on a particularly packed train, problems with the service, everyone funnelled off like animals. 24 hours later, boom. I had to have picked it up through that experience.

Noro is horrible but dial back the hyperbole.
It’s all relative isn’t it smart ass.Noro is horrible but dial back the hyperbole.
For this household covid was nothing, each time we have had it. Noro however took everyone down properly.
Maybe if you get it you’ll stop being so smart.
By far the moat violent!
my wife had it whilst stying away in a hotel! Poor housekeeping
Then i had it and wasnt laughing quite so hard
Over quickly mind, delirious temperatures were fun but not a deaths door experience, most violent and uncontrollable illness ive ever had though, Covid we could still function enough to get to pharmacy, even walked round a car show with it feeling like crap.

When you say it’s all relative what do you mean? The OP stated it was the worst virus he’s ever had but that Covid almost killed him. Relative?

One advantage of norovirus is that while it is spectacularly contagious, it also tends to keep people within running distance of their own toilet.otolith said:
