Feel so ill with what I assume is norovirus

Woke up at 4am and immediately knew I had to be sick, then was up every hour to be sick/upset stomach from then.

Went to bed absolutely fine last night and all of a sudden I feel so ill. My legs, arms and pelvis ache so much that I couldn't lift 6 month old DD out of her cot so DH has had to let his customer down for work today ☹️

How long am I looking at feeling like this? I really don't want DD and DH to catch it but I know it's likely. We're still in the trenches of coughs and colds from 4 weeks ago.

Could it be good poisoning?

If not norovirus normally lasts 24/48 hours.

@teenysaladandsniffofarose me and DH ate the Sam lunch and dinner yesterday so I don't think so as he's fine (for now!).

I had norovirus about 10 years ago and distinctly remember the aching/painful limbs but can't remember how long it lasted.

I'm bleaching door handles, taps and the toilet flush every time I have to get up again. Really don't want the baby to catch it as she's been so unwell with chest/ear/throat infection and been on antibiotics.
