3 days of norovirus??? Poss TMI!

[Swaliswan]

I assume that I have a norovirus. I started with nausea and tiredness at breakfast on wednesday. Shortly after that I started with diarrhoea, stomach cramps and joint pains. I assume that I had a temperature later on that day because I felt cold and shivery despite being in bed with a dressing gown and duvet on me. Ever since then I've had watery diarrhoea. It's getting ridiculous now. I can barely pick our 8mo DD up. Everything I drink goes straight through me including dioralyte.

Is this normal for norovirus? Anything else that I should be doing?

Finally, I'm improving. And, yes, I stuck with the dioralyte. I've now graduated onto toast. I'm still feeling nauseaus and very weak but I think that I need to eat more. The spasms are still very painful though and set off by food so I'm being wary. I know that I wanted to lose my last bit of post-pg weight but I've more than managed that. All I need to do now is not overindulge over Christmas

BTW, about 12 hours between first nauseas and first extreme bout of D&V but with a few loose-ish stools inbetween. Don't you just love how you can share this stuff on MN?!
