I had a really nasty food poisoning was in hospital for nearly a week on IV fluids and antibiotics. My temperature took ages to come down. Won't be eating chicken any time soon again ... It's coming up for a month and I'm still knackered , still having diarrhoea ( though has calmed down ) trying to eat the right things . I'm scared this feeling of tiredness is going to last forever ! Should I be feeling better by now ? Has anyone else had problems after food poisoning? Thanks to anyone who has been in same boat who can help !

Yes mine is 66, I'm trying to get it up a bit

@fivebyfivebuffy yep. It was about 2 months after the food poisoning that my hair started to fall out.
GP ran tests, but all ok.

I think it was just a massive depletion of vitamins and minerals.

It went on for about 6 weeks and then slowed right down. Now back to normal!

By all means get yourself checked out just in case.

I do eat chicken but not much… and I’m super careful when it comes to dealing with the stuff
