Weird stomach bug going around?

13 replies

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar recently? I woke up yesterday (Sunday) morning with a really sore stomach. I initially thought that maybe it was something that I'd eaten but I'm still not over it.
Haven't been sick or had diarrhoea but feeling quite queasy and feel like I'm going to vomit at times.
No temperatures either. The stomach ache was awful last night, I had to sleep with a hot water bottle against it.
The thing that's worrying me is that I'm also having trouble with my teeth and can't get into the dentist until the 18th of April and I'm a bit concerned that I have a tooth infection that's spreading to my body.

I have a very similar thing right now... I was also wondering if something was going around. Feel sick, woozy, stomach cramps, also a bit shivery (but no temp) ... I hope you feel better soon!

2/4 of us in this household are suffering. Been going on for days now. Ds and me. Not had stomach pain but feeling queasy and headachey and just not right plus lacking in energy.

Feels like I'm fighting something off as it's just dragging on, but comes and goes.

It's very boring and not much fun.

I've just come on here to see if anyone had the same. Mine started today weird feeling in stomach and making a growling noise. No sickness but watery diarrhoea (sorry! TMI). I'm sat in bed and stomach is making strange noises and I keep needing to run to the toilet. Don't think it's anything I've ate

I had this for 3 days last week - felt queasy and off colour . No sickness or anything . Had a headache too . Also a bad eye ?! Not conjunctivitis but a slight infection might have been coincidence.

My sister and her family have this at the moment, they've all at various points over the last few weeks had what seems like a stomach bug but without the D and V or a temperature. Just belly ache and feeling sick and very lethargic. Definitely seems to be something going round

Yes I've had weird gurgling noises too and feeling like I'm going to have diarrhoea but I haven't. I have had more bowel movements today then usual tho but normal consistency

DS1 has come home for Uni for Easter with some weird lurgy. Thought it was a migraine initially - headache, dizzy and achy eyes. 3 days on, he's having intermittent temperatures, one bout of sickness and very limited appetite. He looks grey too. Very odd

I've got it now and given it to dh. Hoping to lose a few pounds but need it gone by Easter as skiing! Very weird bug.

DH came home early from work yesterday feeling exactly the same. He got into bed around 4pm in the spare room. He said he felt sick, hot, stomach ache and that his lunch seemed to smell weird, even though colleges confirmed it was fine. He wasn’t sick at all.

I went to bed around 11, woke up at 1am feeling rough but then I did start to be sick. Really sick. Vomiting so violently overnight I’ve popped blood vessels in my face and pulled my stomach muscles. The weird thing is though the heightened sense of smell again. I have a Lotso bear from Toy Story that DH bought me and he lives on the bed. He smells of strawberries and at 3am was hurled across the room because the smell was nauseating.

I can now keep water down and am sipping flat coke for energy. My lovely DIL brought some chicken soup over but couldn’t eat more than a spoonful.
I don’t know what variety of bug this is but it’s truly horrendous

@NamelessGhoul that sounds horrid. There seem to be a number of different tummy bugs about. My sister says she wishes she could vomit as that might help her get over it quicker. Her family are all down with something that's giving them stomach gripes and making them feel awful but no D and V and no temperature.

Thats exactly what DH said, he felt that if he could vomit he'd feel better, but it's never got that far.
I feel a lot better today, though my muscles ache and I still can't face food.

Well this is interesting to read! I started to feel unwell about a week ago. Bad stomach pains lower and then almost like severe acid reflux upper pains, stomach gurgling, nausea that came and went but today the nausea is awful!! Been consistent all day and it’s really getting to me now. Slight sneezing (may be unrelated and a bloodshot eye!)
im over a week into this and can’t quite see the end yet 😭
