Is This Sickness Going Around?

[Llee]

Feeling kinda off all Christmas Day.
Threw up Christmas night.
No energy, slight nausea, no real temp, fatigued since then.

Sound familiar? Or just food poisoning?

:jawdrop Me too. I can't tell if it is my acid reflux (see my other thread) or sickness. I felt off on Christmas Day - headachey, nauseated, and my stomach has been weird since then.

Okay. So random bug perhaps? Or food poisoning? I still think FP for some reason; probably because none of the rest of us have gotten anything.

When I had FP, i threw up for hours and felt horrid, like wanting to die.
A GI bug is going around here, so that could be it, too.

A friend's house had something like that not too long ago. Fatigued, mild vomiting, etc

Random bug. We had it a couple weeks ago. Now we're doing a tired thing, no real other symptoms except Miss Mousie and Lamb have both spiked a fever for a whopping 24 hours each.

You know what I'm gonna say, right? :duck

Ha! Not me, dh. ;)

I think food poisoning is violent, so sounds more like a random bug to me.

Could definitely be a virus. We've been passing around what I think is he norovirus... Nausea, diarrhea, tiredness... Lots and lots of fun.

Ah, the elusive man pregnancy.

Apparently this is hitting every 2 nights. Wednesday night, dh. Friday night, youngest dd. Last night, oldest dd.

:nails about Tuesday night for me.

:yes sounds like what we had. Except we often had 3 days between someone getting it. Which was awful, because it was just long enough that you thought you might be safe, and then it would come back with a vengeance.

We had this about 3ish weeks before Christmas. I might have had a very mild case around the same time as E- I remember feeling mildly nauseous but no vomiting, mild diarrhea, and general exhaustion/lethargy. The boys had vomiting/nausea, diarrhea, mild fever and very droopy. It seems to have a long incubation period though- it was 5 days between E last vomiting and Z starting to vomit.

After that we came down with what seemed to be just a mild cold in the boys, nasty brain-eating plague in me, and suspiciously flu-like symptoms in my parents and brother after I came home and infected them for Christmas. :doh It's taking forever for us all to recover.

Well, count me in on the weird stomach bug train. DD had it three days ago and I got really sick really fast yesterday. Strangely, I thought food poisoning for me, but that wouldn't explain DD's bug--hers was much milder than mine, despite her throwing up more than me. I will take first trimester, or labor over how I'm feeling right now. :(

If you want it to skip you I would take some activated charcoal. It is supposedly great for stomach bugs as well as fp. A tablespoon in 6-8oz of water daily until the germs are passed (ie you've disinfected all the things and no one is actively vomiting.)

[Llee]

I've been taking it in flat ginger ale (just dump the capsule full in there and let it sit for a couple of hours. I haven't gotten to the point of needing to throw up, but I've still got the stomach icks and the 'not quite right' feelings.
