My whole body has gone into self destruct, what is happening? And why do i feel guilty for taking the day off?

Have been very tired for a few days and a slight sore throat. Last night dp collected me from work close to tears as I was so tired, I literally could not move, i felt dizzy and wanted to throw up.

This morning I had a croaky voice, felt like my throat had been slashed, banging head, nausea and my whole body ached. I could not go into work and have slept all day. Dp said last night I tossed and turned all night and was sweating.

Since about five I have had really bad stomach pains and awaful diarrhea (sp). There does not seem to be a part of me that is working!

Despite all this I still feel awful for not going to work.

sounds similar to a bug we've had here.

Ds had it

I had it

Now dp has it.

Hope you feel better soon. Better at home cos
a) you'll recover quicker if you rest
b) you won't spread it around.

You're daft.
Take the rest of the week off - go back on Monday.
Feel better soon.

I know I am daft. I want to go back tomorrow but won't of I am not well.

DD and dp had something similar last week so we knew it was coming my way. It is just such an odd collection of symptoms.

me too!
I went from normal to husky to sounding like a man. I am so tired. Dd woke at 5.45am (she has now got over the lurgy and wanted to play!) and all I want to do is curl up and sleep - and it is my day off work and I can't enjoy it. Boo hoo!
You have my full sympath twinset!

Thanks, the dodgy tummy seems to be better so I am going to try some food, but am having huge problems trying to stay awake.
