Stomach bug/noro

[illl]

Posting here for traffic at this time of night.

I'm so unwell, and I cannot bear the aching anymore especially in my legs.

Not due painkillers and I threw them up anyway

What will ease my achy legs?

Would it be feasible for you to have a hot bath? That always helps me with all-over aching. for you.

Not really I have a 2 month old and 4 year old who are both very light sleepers and sleep close to the bathroom. I couldn't risk waking them when I feel so grim.
Thanks though

How about moisturising them? The rubbing might help a bit

That's a shame. Do you have an electric blanket/heated throw that you could put around your legs? It sounds like a horrible bug you've been struck with; I hope it eases off soon, OP.

Is there anyone you can call on to look after you?

It's bad enough to feel so shit, but if you're worried about waking up your little ones as well...

Is there someone who will have them when they do wake up?

Thanks everyone will try the heated blanket

My husband is here but he's also ill though not as severe as me so he will definitely get up with them tomorrow. I feel really mean running a bath when he would have to deal with any night wakings because of the noise.

Get well soon. I remember having the norovirus a few years ago and my back ached so badly. Heat helped...and it passed relatively quickly.

I'm sure he'd just want you to feel comfortable

Heated blanket is perfect.

I remember the nightmare of creeping about so they don't wake up though at 2 month old little toes lol so gorgeous.

How are you feeling this morning OP?

Hope you managed to get some kip.

I'm slightly better thanks still very achy but the sickness seems to have stopped.
Thanks for all the replies a hot water bottle helped in the end!

I have restless painful legs and I put a tube of mosterising cream in hot water and warm it up as hot as I could stand and rub it on. Really helps

No advice but get well soon OP.

Hope you feel better soon OP. I'm just getting over this but it's really knocked me for six. Feel like I wouldn't need much make up to appear in The Walking Dead today
