Started on Wednesday with uncontrollable shivering, aches and pains all over, and a horrendous headache.

The next day I developed mild stomach cramps and nausea and had a few episodes of diarrhea.

Today I have horrendous reflux, it feels like a ball of acid in my throat, and my bowels are still delicate though no D&V and I am managing to eat.

My head is still pounding and I keep falling asleep.

Whenever I get ill I usually bounce back within a day so I'm getting pretty bored now. Does this sound like flu? Norovirus? Some sort of food poisoning?

Sorry you are feeling so rubbish- I have to say your symptoms sound like the ones I had the last two times I had covid/flu. Keep yourself warm drink lots of fluids and take paracetamol Biscuit

Thank you @Apocalypselastyear this is helpful as for some reason not knowing what it is is making me feel even more miserable!

Feeling really stressed and tearful today, lack of distraction I guess!

@Illness5fer

I’m like that when I get Covid. Whatever it is lots of drinks, paracetomol, antiacids and duvet/blankets while you watch crappy TV. You will feel better soon.
