Bride is sick!!

Flu did those things for me, but I didn't expect the world to stop because of it.

Which is fine, but some thought for those whose lives didn't go on or go on massively impacted everyday because of covid wouldn't go a miss.

Hope the wedding went well and you all stayed well. Did she recover in time?

New variant

It could be nerves. I get horrendous diarrhea, pain and nausea when I'm super nervous. It happens.

Like i said that’s life.

I can’t just not go to work. People have to pay bills.

As daft as it sounds - could it be nerves?

No need to test for covid - that time passed a couple of years ago.

Yikes, this sounds incredibly dangerous advice....too many pills. Bad for kidney's and liver!

@Rewinder how did the wedding go? Was the bride okay in the end?

@Nightsku As long as you can live your life, who cares if you floor someone for a few days, or worse? You got to do what you wanted, and that's what's important.

Because people have lives to live.

Life goes on.

This thread has brought out so many anti-vaxxers and "it's just a coooold, you're all stuuuupid" types. It would be funny if it wasn't so scary that people think like that.
I don't have covid tests at home, but rather than be an entitled idiot who goes about their business as normal, I'll avoid passing it on. It's an illness, even if it won't kill everyone why would I merrily spread it? A family member in their 40s died from covid and another close family member is extremely vulnerable, so I'll have some consideration and keep it to myself it I catch it again. And yes, this person is also very at risk from flu.

Of course there was still flu
So no, not mysterious at all.

And no, I wouldn't deliberately chose to mix with others if I had flu, norovirus, etc. and I would hope to keep my distance from them too.

Flu is worse though.

Not really relevant to the thread tbh but I can say that flu has never put me in hospital, it's never left me with a life long health condition, it's never has me rushed to hospital with a real risk of heart attack or stroke and it's never left me needing daily medication for the rest of my life.
Only one thing has done that and it was covid.

I think the wedding was yesterday.

I had this on my wedding day, due to stress. My DSIS is a doctor and dosed me up. You CANNOT do this any other time, but get her to take a full pack of Imodium in one go,4 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen. She needs to drink little and often - mint tea with sugar in is good, or ginger ale. It’ll hold her together for the day!

Go to the healthfood shop and get colloidal silver. It's a natural antibiotic with no side effects and works quickly. Lots of scare stories out there about it making you turn blue which is rubbish. I've been taking it for years. I order mine from amazon https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.propertypal.com/12-manse-road-newtownards/907692&ved=2ahUKEwjemeb-rpuBAxUWUKQEHRYNBnsQFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw13ajXSaAf3gXeSM9GIS1wG

Any update, op? How was the wedding? Was the bride recovered?

As do I - but for completely the opposite reasons as you.

Well I know people who have had d & v as symptoms, and I live in a country with a much smaller population than the UK. One person not knowing anyone who had vomiting (and seriously, you discuss every symptom with every person you know - how boring) doesn't not make it a fact.

OP--an update would be nice! We want to know how the bride fared, did anyone else fall ill? Was the bride feeling all better (hopefully)? Any snags? Did everyone have a nice time?

Was the cake beautiful?

It could be so many different things. Covid just being one of many, though I see cases are on the rise again.😫
Hopefully, it's cleared up fully and isn't a norovirus or other stomach bug. 🤒

Sorry, didn't mean to quote you. I got absent-minded.

I've been lurking here @Rewinder as I didn't want to let myself get drawn into the ongoing debate about Covid versus Flu versus Novo etc.

But I would like to know (as would many others), how the Wedding went. I do hope that it was able to go ahead, and that everyone had a great time, especially - of course - the Bride and Groom?

I too googled Norovirus vaccine when recovering from it, and it's too much of an evolving virus {Much like the common cold} to be capable of creating a reliable vaccine.

Human immunity lasts only a few months after catching it- Interestingly, I read that people with blood group O+ are more susceptible to getting it more severely it than other blood groups.

{I'm O+ } 😬

"Oh and a lot of the "Covid destroys everyone's internal organs and will disable us all!" stuff is based on weak studies and promoted by professional doom-mongers and unscrupulous internet grifters."

That's the 'stuff' being spread by the downplayers/deniers on social media. Look at excess death rates (before they re-adjusted for covid deaths), look at increased morbidity stats. This is way worse than the flu or noro, morbidity and mortality wise. And will swamp the health care system with illness & disability. Flu and norovirus are BSL-2. SARS-CoV2 is BSL-3, for a start.

Here's some links to good studies, for a start. It isn't just hitting the vulnerable, we are all vulnerable. Mitigating risks is not the same as lockdown - it protects you, it protects others, and decreases opportunities for the virus to mutate.
