What is this? Bug? Food Poisoning?

[MrsMeow]

Yesterday, my stomach was churning all day and I felt very slightly queasy and headachey, but nothing major. Last night when I went to bed my stomach felt quite heavy and my headache was worse.

Woke up this morning, and felt really dizzy. Was planning on going to the library in town with the children but have decided against it because I don't feel 'with it' enough to drive. My stomach is still churning and (sorry TMI) I had to rush to the loo after half a cup of coffee.

I've not been sick though (thankfully!)

What could it be though? I did wonder if it was something I'd eaten, but the last hot meal I had was a chicken microwave meal on Monday night. I only had cereal yesterday as felt so odd. Surely if it was something to do with the chicken, I'd have been more ill yesterday?

Anyone else had the same? I never get bugs even when the children are ill, so not quite sure what this is.

I have the exact same thing - felt a bit odd yesterday but today I've had the full on trots and shivers. Felt like death warmed up this morning but perking up now. Happily DP is home today and looking after 8mo DS and I'm tucked up in bed with laptop. I never get bugs either but I called NHS direct who reckon it's a viral infection. A lot of it about, apparently.

Hope you're on the mend soon

Thanks ThisCharmingFlan, love the name!

Sorry you're not too good today either, but I'm glad someone else is feeling so odd! I just feel like if I were sick I'd be fine!

I actually feel slightly better after having a sandwich and an apple for lunch, I don't think my hunger was helping with the dizziness. My two are being absolute nightmares though, they won't settle to anything and are driving me insane! They're 9 & 6 as well so no excuse.

Enjoy your bit of time off, as much as you can when ill, anyway! Hope you feel better soon

I think there's a bug like that going round, i felt like that for about 3 days a couple of weeks ago. Dizzy, nausea, last time i felt that sick i was pg, i was quite close to buying another test!

Thanks lobsters, I know what you mean about the pregnancy thing, the thought did cross my mind!

I think it's definitely a bug though, I feel less sick now but still have a headache and DD has gone to bed after having Calpol as she was complaining of feeling sick & headachey as well. DS has been very whiney today so I'm expecting him to be ill tomorrow, as well! Oh the joys!
