Ugh think I've got a stomach bug

[BorkityBork]

Feel rotten!

Stomach is churning. Been on the loo a couple of times. I know if I thought about it for 0.2 seconds I could be sick too but I'm trying to so hard to ignore it 🤮

Must be something going around as my nephew was poorly yesterday.

Please send sympathy!

Spent all day yesterday with DD clinging to me and sobbing in between her puking.

I'm awake now thinking I'm coming down with it too

You'll feel a lot better after you've puked a few times

And obviously much sympathy.

Top tips include the acquisition of a bucket. DD assured me she didn't want one, and wouldn't use one. Which was grand until she puked over the bed.

@MidgeMainCourse thank you, I hope your DD is feeling better now?

Well I've been sick multiple times, and done another stint on the loo 🙄 awful, but you're right, I do feel better for it.

It's bloody horrible isn't it?

DD is expecting to wake in the morning and be better. She's 9 and only had one tummy bug before when she was tiny so she's outraged by the indignities heaped upon her...

I'm entering that "you will be sick, maybe in five minutes, maybe in several hours phase" where you still try to convince yourself that there's a chance you can escape it.

Hope you feel better now x

Don't take this the wrong way but it's nice to connect with someone in the same situation at 3am. Feel less alone. Of course, I'd rather neither of us felt rubbish

It really is awful!

I woke up at 1.30am with a pretty good idea I was going to be I'll. And now here I am. Sleeping to the couch and having to make a mad dash to the toilet 🙄

Bless her! Here's hoping she's much better tomorrow 🤞🏻 I've mentally accepted I'm going to be wrung out for the next few days, sadly as adults we know all too well!

Ditto I'm laid listening to the birds now, hoping for some sleep x

Get well soon both of you! I call 130am the witching hour as every time I have had a stomach bug or woken up feeling ill in the night it's usually around that time.

We have had a hard week. Monday night 4 year old DD wandered in telling us she’d been sick at midnight. All over her bed. I sat with her in the bath until 2.30am as she kept being sick every half hour or so.

I caught it but haven’t been sick, just keep having diarrhoea in the mornings and feel very tired, bloated and kind of “full” feeling constantly. Very gassy. It’s rank.

i know of 4 other people who also have it currently.

@BorkityBork how are you feeling?

I suspect I may be spending some quality time in the bathroom in the best future 😒

@Snowpaw that sounds very familiar 😞

I wouldn't mind but we've barely left the house this week

This was me just the other week. Proper wiped me out the day after. You lot defo get my sympathy and I hope you all get well soon.

over a bottle of bleach for the morning after sick bug germ kill 🚽

Oh, that was supposed to say hands over a bottle of bleach.

Oh it's awful, we had it last week. My stomach hurt for ages after
Ice pops were brilliant to help though!

I'm prone to tummy bugs and tummy upset.

My DF always said "better out than in". I know it's awful but as long as it is coming out you are making progress.

When you are feeling a little better eat BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) only. Bananas and dry toast saved me when I had gastroenteritis. And the tea without milk tasted like heaven.

Try and drink water and rest. I hope you are soon well.

There's one doing the rounds at the moment. Ds2 has been "off" all weekend, and DH and I both feel it coming today. Not good.

I had a poorly stomach last week. Lasted 48 hours. I guesses food poisoning as I'd eaten out at a fast food restaurant before it started, but may have been the bug that's doing its rounds!

Snap on the sofa spent most of yesterday being sick and headache today I’ve sore throat and spent most of it on the toilet 😔

Me too, caught it of grandchildren 🥴

@MidgeMainCourse better tonight thank you the D&V has stopped, just getting occasional stomach cramps and I feel totally wiped out.
How are you and your DD?

I do hope you all feel better soon

@BorkityBork hello! Glad you're feeling better - I was wondering how you were doing 😊

I'm very heartburn-y which is my digestive systems normal distress signal. Whether I puke or not is... Undecided. DD has stopped puking (excellent) but it's not refusing to talk as her throat is really sore (not so excellent)

DS and DP unaffected by our plague 😒 I feel very unhealthy 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've found my people. I've only had nausea, no vomiting but it's all coming out my backside.

I was feeling iffy on Thurs, then had loose bowel movements on Fri. Same Sat morning. At lunchtime I felt so washed out I went to bed and slept for 90 mins. From then on every time I've been for a wee I've had very runny poos.

Awake at 2am for an hour with bad spasms and the runs and it's continued today.

ExH went and got me some imodium at lunch time today as I couldn't move away from the toilet.

I'm only drinking sips of water and have had 2 slices of toast today. There cannot be anything left to come out but my tummy is so sore and feels bloated 😭
