Norovirus. Just take me now baby Jesus.

On Saturday my ds10 came down with severe vomiting and diarrhea, after around 3hrs of this he collapsed/fainted on the toilet and we rushed him to a&e. He has coeliacs disease so we didn't know if it was this or a bug. Two days spent in hospital infectious ward on a drip, discharged on Monday afternoon and then Monday night my dh & I both came down with it so that confirmed it wasn't a glutening definitely stomach bug. I have never felt this ill in my entire 36yrs of life - no exaggeration!

It's been 3 days since my ds last threw up or had D but he's still very weak and fatigued, he's lost 3lbs (gutted because we've been trying so hard to gain since coeliacs diagnosis and now he's going to have to go on ensure), it's been 2 days since DH and I last threw up or had D, my fever broke last night, I still feel like utter hell. Really nauseous, everything hurts, stomach pain and gurgling.

It's been about 7yrs since I last had a stomach bug and it was definitely not this bad, how long until we feel remotely human again? We've barely moved from bed/bathroom for over 3 days ffs.

I had food poisoning and didn't throw up but had diarrhoea pretty much every 15 mins for over a week
Didn't realise the body could hold so much, and I wasn't even eating anything

I completely understand that you have no reassurance that he's better 🥺 I hope he slept okay for you?

So glad you have the anti sickness tablets! I also have the cyclizine ones my family member brought me, I ended up taking one last night again during my panic!

Typical DH behaviour in my house! Lol. Glad it made you laugh 😁

Did you find the cyclizine helpful?

I slept in a different room to my son for the first time in his life... it was actually lovely! My husband slept with him instead and I think he's a bit shocked by how uncomfy co-sleeping is. In all my anxiety I forgot to take my venlafaxine so had a night of weird dreams and night sweats 😅

He hasn't been sick in 24 hours now. Husband and I are fine and it's 36 hours since it all started. But son is feeling miserable on the sofa watching Bluey :(

Thank you for this amazing news. It's been unavailable in Europe for about 3 years. My adult DSD has been keeping me supplied as she lives in the US. I can stop requests Peptobismol for Christmas.

Get well soon OP!

How's it going OP. All going in the right direction here (touch wood)

Better today, still having major reflux and eating only very small amounts but actually left the house today for the first time in 5 days!! Took the kids to the cinema to see sonic 3 because they both deserved a treat after this hellish week.

Glad your little boy is going in the right direction today!

Aww I bet they loved that!

Sorry if it's already been mentioned or if you already take it, but you can get omeprazole for reflux without a prescription from a pharmacist. You can buy it online too. Kind of thing that's good to have in the medicine cupboard

My husband has chronic reflux but started taking daily lansoprazole (same class of drugs) and it's hugely improved his quality of life

@Nogodsnomasters

I don't think it was the same strain. I caught it first at work the day before it all kicked off at work and many of us got taken out that week.

The next time I caught it from my husband who we think caught it at his work (non hospital)

I'm assuming the currently situation at my work is the same strain as the first one.

Just a nightmare. I'm typing this now as I woke up feeling horrendously sick but luckily it just seems to be "me" I often feel sick. Phew!

I'm already on a daily PPI as I have GERD anyway but I had missed a few doses while in the height of noro so I'm assuming maybe a rebound thing since I missed a few?

God that's awful that you had two so close together. I hope you don't get it again at work 🤞
