Meh. Ill.

[ciphergoth]

I have a nasty stomach bug. Jess has pleaded with me not to describe exactly how nasty, but believe me it isn't pretty. After a very unpleasant night, I'm now drinking a cup-a-soup, my first substantial food since yesterday evening.

There's no way I'm going into work until Monday at the earliest...

spikeylady and lilithmagna have of course been wonderful me-looking-after people...

hope you feel better.

Eeek! That sounds horrible. Hope soup and partners are helpful.

Hope you're feeling better soon. Plain boiled rice and peaches are good (but not together), and keep your fluids up!

[vvalkyri.livejournal.com]

Together sounds disturbingly interesting.

And yes, fluids are a good thing. Stomach bugs - ick.

Oh my

[webcowgirl.livejournal.com]

Oooh, ahhh, urggh. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[jezebel-z.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, looks like I passed this on to you :o(

Mine still hasn't gone (worse since last night), but hope yours is more manageable. Good job you already had those rehydration salts in!

*gently hugs*

There seems to be something of an stomach bug epidemic at the moment, though I doubt you've caught anything from anyone up here.

Have a virtual hot water bottle from me. Feel better!

Get well soon! I find soup the only thing I can still face drinking, when an illness puts me off food.

[adjectivemarcus.livejournal.com]

Are you going to be fit for Saturday?

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

Good question. Er, maybe. If jezebel_z is still ill then probably not, though. Very sorry!

[the-maenad.livejournal.com]

Lot of this going about -- I was off work with such a bug almost all of last week. Get well soon.

[ejde.livejournal.com]

I had it last week, so many sympathies. Get well soon.

[lacuna-raze.livejournal.com]

Get well soon :-( Hope it passes quickly.
We're moved into new house now so there is a guest bedroom if any of you ever need it.

Poor love. Tummy bugs are rotten.
Try to drink as much water as you can, even if it doesn't stay down. I find plain rice is a good 'first thing' to eat when coming back from a stomach bug.

[sparklegoth.livejournal.com]

Hope you get well soon sweetie! I've had a touch of that myself recently and it wasn't nice. Good you have lovely people there to take care of you.

[ajva.livejournal.com]

Eurgh. Get well soon.

[simm42.livejournal.com]

Not good!

You are the 3rd person on my LJ this morning to be ill!


Hope yo pick up soon

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, love, you poor thing. I'm glad they're looking after you, and obviously if you need anything I'm only up the road, after all. ~gentle hugs~ Hope you're better soon. Much love.

Oh poor you, have you succumbed to the winter vomiting bug you'd thought they could come up with a better name

Get well soon.

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

Thanks - that's exactly what I've got I think. And no, I didn't go to the doctor - do they want my statistic, I wonder?

[keirf.livejournal.com]

I had the winter vomiting virus back in January - not nice at all. Dehydrated but throwing up withing seconds of drinking any water.

Vaimoni had it even worse (she caught it in hospital and brought it home to me), in that she had simultaneous diarrhoea and projectile vomiting.

It's quite infectious but not serious. Going to your local GP would probably end up spreading it more. I wonder - perhaps they could have a website for reporting it.

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

Or squirting out of both ends simultaneously as Jess pleaded with me not to write here earlier...

[gingiber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was wondering that too when both Seth and Myself came down with it.

But I guess they would just look at me like I was a weirdo - you what...?

[kelemvor.livejournal.com]

More sympathies.
Had that on a ski-ing holiday - not pleasant. (Also, thanks for not describing the symptoms...)
