On thurs i threw up after dinner. No other family member did. I thought it was me pigging out on a bit of 3 day old tiramisu followed by too much dauphinoise potato tbh. Threw up every single morsel in my body, no shivers or fever, left with headache but not sick.
Next morning, no brekky, had coffee, stayed down, felt headachey but not sick. Lunch came up, no prior warning other than 10 mins of nausea followed by upchucking every single little bit of food again. Followed by headache and sore muscles, all evening. Ate pasta for tea, kept that down.
Headache all night. No sickness.
Saturday morning, toast, couple of mouthfuls of porridge, headache almost gone, felt ok, but some pins and needles in my hand, face, foot on and off all day. Lunch came up, felt rough all evening.
Thought - migraine. Not the usual pattern a migraine follows for me, i get them rarely, once a year perhaps but not like this, however, seems to fit, and not a bug/food poisoning.
Today, feel feverish for the first time, but no fever, have a funny taste in my mouth, feel sick but not sick, stinking headache.
I also have a lump behind hear, which hurts to touch (gland I presume). And weirdly, very weirdly, have had a milk leaky breast (fed DS til 8 months ago or so, never had a leak before, only a tiny bit mind you). Might, or might not be nothing to do with it all.
So, now I am not sure what is wrong! could be a virus? Not pg as have contraceptive implant in, but symptoms remind me v much of being pg.
Ideas? Should I go to GP or ride it out?

thirtysomething I am not so ill I need to go to walk in i don't think. I have had a chat with DH, as the symptoms are so like being pg it is unreal, its like a phantom pregnancy, really weird (same symptoms as with my other children). Even smell is off now. Agreed I will go get it checked out with gp tomorrow.
I was hoping someone would come and say 'oh you got the same symptoms as me, I have a virus/something...' but you are right, could be anything couldn't it. But not pregnancy 
geez. nothing to throw up, so been lying here in bed feeling the acid building up in stomach, absolute killer headache, followed by eventual prolonged hurling of said acid . Can't even take any tablets for the headache as worried they are going to come up again. I can't bear the taste of half melted medicine on the way back (had hg through pg so this happened more than once!)
And. mouth now tastes of veggie sausage that I had for late breakfast that I thought had been digested. I am suspecting that half digested sausage might be on the move 
why else would I be able to taste it some 10 hours after eating it? That will hurt !
I feel awful, neuseaus (sp) and sore belly 
, maybe just a long lasting bug that has weird symptoms and the breastmilk thing might be pure coincidence.
Sounds horrible, poor you . If it wasn't for the breast milk I would def think tummy bug of some sort. Are you allergic to anything? Some of those symptoms sound like dairy or wheat intolerance though it would be odd for them to come on so suddenly. If you are not better tomorrow would def be worth visit to GP. A call to NHS direct tonight might be worth it as you have an odd collection of symptoms....how sore is your belly? I always consider appendicitis as a 1% chance with those kind of symptoms, or something like a big ovarian cyst? DOn't want to worry you but as you've had a fever it's worth thinking what else it could be.
Hope you feel better v. soon x
hiddenhome OMFG! I have not read that. And now I am very, very worried. I have the implanon implant. And the symptoms I have are so very like pg symptoms it is unreal. DH and I have been having a bit of a chat about it on the basis it would NOT be possible as no recorded cases last time i looked - before that report!
curioselle I so hope it is just (not implying that gastroentietis is not serious) a bug. I was horrendously sick again today, this morning. But not since. However on the plus side, no more leaks.
hiddenhome what is 'poas'?
