Please hold my hand. Norovirus.

Have never felt so ill - can't sleep because of stomach cramps. Sitting up on the sofa with a glass of weak squash. Anyone there to hold my hand for a bit?

[IHeartKingThistle]

Oh, it's so awful, you can have some sympathy from me! (Not my hand though - it's quite contagious )

You will feel better. And I believe it has a 4 month immunity so you won't have to worry about it getting you at Christmas.

[helpyourself]

Oh poor you!
Great that you're sipping squash though so you don't get dehydrated.

[StarsGhostTail]

Long distance (bug avoiding) hand holding.
Sending speedy recovery and getting some sleep vibes your way.

Poor you :( I had that 4 years ago it was awful. If I could give you any advice it would be to leave it 24 hours after feeling better to eat because my stomach was so weak after all the vomiting it brought it straight back up again. Hope you feel better soon !

[Tinkerisdead]

Oh poor you its horrific. We got it once at a holiday park. Dd was about 2 and luckily didnt catch it but no-one would come and take her for us. Dh and i had her watching cbeebies whilst we ran in and out of the toilet in relay.

I have never felt so ill in my life. I was actually frightened by it, i kept thinking no i'm so ill it must be something worse. I was crying at some points i dont mind telling you. If you can try to find some mindless crap to put on tv as it really helps you to not sit focusing on that consuming sick feeling.

Thanks all. Sorry went to sleep so didn't reply to your friendly nighttime messages. Stopped being sick about midnight, just very weak today with splitting headache.

[bumpybecky]

keep drinking, little and often, headache is likely to be due to dehydration

hope you're feeling much better soon

[CalamityKate]

Oh poor you it's horrific xx

Me and the 2 boys had it all at the same time once. They were about 1 and 2 I think. Just awful - I've never felt so ill in my life. It's the first and only time I've been unable to keep even a sip of water down and I agree it is scary. I was desperately thirsty but even a teaspoonful came up ten minutes later.

Hope you feel better soon xx

[goinnowhere]

I have this. It is awful. I feel so achy and sore even though I have stopped vomiting. Sympathy.

[FraterculaArctica]

goinnowhere sounds like we're in the same boat! Virtual hand holding, hope we both recover soon.

[goinnowhere]

Hope so!

Poor you Hope you feel a bit better soon. Norovirus is horrible. My mother caught it once with 30 minutes of attending a hospital appointment. By that I mean she entered the building right as rain and within 30mins was being violently ill. She couldn't believe how fast it came on

I hate hate hate anything to do with stomach bugs/viruses. They are the worst. Keep going with the squash.
