I'm on day 3 of being 'ahem' symptomatic. Whilst I'm getting a bit fed up of feeling unwell,and effectively being in quarantine, I just got on the scales and am down about 5lbs!

Quim, research I've read googled suggests that yes, your blood type will be protecting you. Lucky you!!!

OP your symptoms sound more Campylobacter than Norovirus

Hope you are better soon. And that the weight stays off!

I lost 9lbs in a week when I had noro a few years ago, it kickstarted me into losing three stone Grin

I got flu about two months before my wedding. It was during the Christmas holidays and it was awful and even when I recovered I wasn't 100% for a while and my appetite literally disappeared. I actually have proper cheekbones in my wedding photos I look great Smile

If it is campylobacter then it is a notifiable illness.

I had norovirus a couple of years ago, and have never felt so ill.
The upside was that I stepped on the scales at SW the following week, and had lost 7 pounds.
The weigh-in lady asked me for a kiss.

I lost 13 pounds from norovirus and the vomiting and diarrhea only lasted 12 hours, but it was constant with no breaks I passed out 5 times on toilet i didn't get off the toilet in that 12 hours.
