I feel like I had slightly too much to drink last night but I really didn't and it's been going on for 3 days now.

Me and my DD felt similar about 3 weeks ago. Lasted about a week.

Lovestonap · 16/02/2020 16:57

Yeah I had this, kept feeling nauseous in the mornings like I had a hangover, knew I couldn't be pregnant. It wore off after a few days but it was really annoying!

SnugglySnerd · 16/02/2020 16:59

That's interesting, I felt like that all day Friday and Saturday - headache, nausea and dizziness. It's passed today luckily. Yes it was exactly like a hangover.

Pppppickupapenguin · 16/02/2020 17:08

I had it a week ago, completely wiped me out. All ok now.

Lilopup · 16/02/2020 17:12

My DS kindly brought this virus home from nursery last week. Thankfully it only lasted a day for us both but I felt absolutely rotten. I constantly felt like I was going to be sick but never was, also gave us dodgy tummies and a raging headache. I feel your pain OP

blackcat86 · 16/02/2020 17:14

Toddler DD brought this home to and I fear I may have then spread it around the office. I felt awful for weeks with lots of nausea and loss of appetite. I did also have a bit of sinusitis though (symptoms I've had previously but cleared up on it's own thankfully because I wasnt going to risk the doctors - we've had some closed for coronavirus near me)..

TreesSandSea · 16/02/2020 17:15

Yup, I had this a couple of weeks ago. Nausea, tiredness and dizzy.

Got rid of that and now have another horrid lurgy Sad

Subtractingcalories · 16/02/2020 17:19

Yes I have had this last week. Lasted about four days. Felt rotten.

NemophilistRebel · 16/02/2020 17:20

All my Family had this for a week or two in January (south east)

YasssKween · 16/02/2020 17:27

Yep! Felt like vertigo, was holding the walls to walk down the corridor - BUT it was only two days then totally back to normal, if a little tired. Poor you I hope you feel better soon Thanks

MrsTumbletap · 16/02/2020 17:31

Oh my god! I have this now, I have felt sick for 3 days, can't throw up, no dodgy tum, just feel sick.

Can't eat, feel tired, went to the pharmacist today and he thought peptones bismal was the answer, but only if I could guarantee I wasn't pregnant. I couldn't guarantee that, so went home and have taken a test, not pregnant. Just feel sick. Felt dizzy on Friday too.

Erghhh how long will this last?

MrsTumbletap · 16/02/2020 17:33

Sorry Pepto, autocorrect.

Rubychard · 16/02/2020 17:35

Yes, ds and fil have both had this this week.

Vanillaradio · 16/02/2020 18:36

Had this last week. Felt constantly dizzy and nauseous, room was spinning and felt totally exhausted with heavy limbs, didn't want to eat. Was bad for 2 days and then eased off over the next couple.

SpaceDinosaur · 16/02/2020 19:03

I have this.
I'm also pregnant.

Newyearsameoldme2020 · 16/02/2020 19:07

O didn't realise this was going around. I've had horrible dizziness for 2 weeks now, doctor has given me anti vertigo meds.
My limbs feel heavy aswell and I've been napping during the day. I even took time off work with it and I very rarely tame time off work, even when ill

DelurkingAJ · 16/02/2020 19:12

Yep. DS2 started (was actually sick twice, missing a week of nursery), next week DS1 (also actually sick, missed a week of school). DH and I struggled through just feeling urgh! Took about a week to clear each of us.

MoreHairyThanScary · 16/02/2020 19:47

Yes 2 of my work colleagues have been off with it.

YakkityYakYakYak · 16/02/2020 19:53

I’ve been feeling like this all day! Nauseous, exhausted, dizzy, hot and cold flashes. No visible symptoms though so I think DH is starting to think Im making it up for a day in bed.

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 16/02/2020 19:58

I had it just before Christmas! Thought I was going mad

larrygrylls · 16/02/2020 20:00

Yep,

Both my children had (one is still getting over) it. One was actually sick quite a bit and they both had fevers.

They don’t generally get ill.

WhiskersPete · 16/02/2020 20:02

Yes thought I was pregnant but apparently not

WorraLiberty · 16/02/2020 20:04

Yes, my DS17 has just had this for about a week.

The last 3 days of it he had diarrhea.

darktriad · 16/02/2020 20:12

I had about a month ago, weird fluttery stomach and mild 'D' slight loss of appetite, but not enough to lose weight unfortunately. lasted about 4 days

confusedbyopk · 16/02/2020 20:24

Me since thurs!! Urgh! Considering staying home from work tomorrow as I feel so rotten.
