Buggeroff - literally. 😂
Imodium doesn't stop you getting rid of waste, it just solidifies it.

Yes, solidifies it and keeps the bug inside your system. I got thoroughly told off by my GP for taking Imodium when I’d had norovirus as it just meant I was ill for longer (AND constipated). He said I should only have used it if I needed to travel to get home not when I was already at home. Even IF my GP was wrong I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks mixing with other people when you have a stomach bug is a good idea.

Mine is somewhat less awful 😅 I agreed to go to a steam fair with my mum on my birthday (17 ish) just because the guy I 'loved' (and had 'loved' since 13) was running a class to do with our mutual hobby. The steam fair was not interesting But what really did it was that the guy met a girl at the class who went on to be his GF for ages 😡 (and she was lovely)

WorryingLadyBits · 11/02/2019 17:59

No shitty birthday advice.... I hope you managed to enjoy your day.
On another note, we share a birthday....I had plenty of cake for the both of us.

Hope you feel better soon x

I much loved relative died just before my 18th birthday.

HelloDarlin · 11/02/2019 18:22

Had to cancel my birthday celebrations today... And it’s my actual birthday! Was all dressed up & ready to meet Mum for afternoon tea at a posh hotel, when the vomiting started.
I’ve been unwell for weeks & thought I’d finally turned a corner. DH brought me out for food last night, but we went to a pub instead of a restaurant. So I had some beer...
I’m still in bed now. DH is bringing home soup & painkillers!

IAmWonderWoman · 11/02/2019 18:26

DH is supposed to be taking me away for my birthday tomorrow, flights and hotel all booked. Only I can’t move as I’m lying on the sofa trying not to vomit.

I feel so bad, not just because I feel so nauseous but he’s put so much money, time and effort in this.

FrumpyKnickers · 11/02/2019 20:27

Belated birthday wishes it was my birthday too yesterday! I was dying of flu have lost voice today Although th and kids sang happy birthday to me and I got to eat a lot of cake so not too bad.

It was my birthday on Saturday. My grandfather died suddenly. (Sorry that definitely brought the tone of the thread down!)

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 11/02/2019 21:01

I had my son on my 21st birthday! Was induced at 38 weeks, he was born 28 hours later at 9pm on my 21st birthday! Forceps, 3rd degree tear and a fuck tonne of stitches and he was the best birthday present ever. He’s now 10 and we love our shared special day!

ToPlanZ · 11/02/2019 21:12

That's rotten OP hope you feel better soon. In the interim to cheer you up, imagine the scene, it's a major milestone birthday ending in a zero.

I've organised myself a meal out and travelled to the other end of the country where my family live so no one had to travel other than myself, DH and then ten year old son.

Told everyone about the restaurant my DM had picked in advance . No issues are raised.

Narc attention seeking sister turns up late, wearing a top that didn't cover her boobs, they are plain to see. I have flashbacks to my wedding where no one remembers what I wore just that my sister wore a see through silk dress and no bra.

I remain calm, it is my big birthday. I am determined to try to enjoy it. She won't sit down and prances around the table, shining her very particular brand of light on each guest whilst eating food off their plates because she's not hungry enough to order as she 'doesn't each much' and just wants to try a bit of everyone else's. My face remains unperturbed as she stuffs down enough food to equate to a full meal. So far, so normal. She did pretty much the same at my 21st so I expect nothing less and she delivers.

I notice another sibling has disappeared. After searching I find aforementioned sibling ensconced in the bar eating a big bowl of chips. Chips are not on the menu, I express my surprise to find sibling eating something off menu whilst sat alone. Sibling reveals that they will not under any circumstances eat the particular cuisine served and not only that several other family members won't either, they all hate this type of food that I have forced upon them.

Despite my metaphorically swan like exterior, my legs are now frantically going under the surface in an attempt to control my urge to demand why no one mentioned this minor issue prior to the do.

Shortly afterwards I pop to the loo, I come back to find siblings and their partners have entirely disappeared. I ask where they are. Everyone left looks a bit mortified. I have to be told that Narc sister has organised a limo and whipped them all off in style to go clubbing. Without me. The birthday girl, on my birthday without even saying goodbye.

Yep birthdays are shit

Last year I was 30 weeks pregnant on my birthday, we were on honeymoon (camping!) and we went to a naice fish restaurant for lunch. I’m not sure if I got food poisoning or if my delicate pregnant stomach (I had hyperemesis and could still be a bit sicky at times) just reacted badly but I spent most of the night shivering in a campsite toilet block shitting/puking my guts up. I then had to return to the campervan in the early hours, with my vomity bucket, smelling dreadful I imagine, to my poor new husband, to share a very confined space! It was actually a lovely honeymoon though!

Thatsnotmyotter · 11/02/2019 21:44

Oh and I’ve just remebered, to add insult to injury, the toilet lights were on a sensor and as I was incapacitated and could not leave my cubicle, I had to sit in the dark for hours 😂

londonrach · 11/02/2019 21:52

Happy birthday op. Cant beat your shit birthday but my gran did die on mine and it was a special one eg 21st. Kinda ruined the day forever. Dont take anything just let you body can rid of the bug. Celebrate your birthday a few days late like the queen! X

workinprogressmum · 11/02/2019 21:57

Hope you feel better soon

cadburyegg · 11/02/2019 22:04

Sorry for your rubbish birthday OP.

My then 6 month old DS1 had an operation on my 28th birthday. Luckily it was only a minor, routine procedure but we were still in hospital from 7am-10pm.

On my 30th birthday, I was in the early weeks of pregnancy but had been having extra scans due to bleeding and I was convinced that the worst would happen because I’d had a miscarriage a few months prior. Despite wanting to hide under the duvet I went out on a pre arranged birthday meal and had to subtly decline all offers of alcohol. It was all worth it though because 7 months later DS2 arrived Smile
