What on earth is wrong with me?

Hope you soon feel better Pheonix, just horrible for you.

Sorry to hear about your bug Phoenix it can make you feel ghastly. You are braver than I am when it comes to dealing with the diarrhea part if I am feeling that bad I am straight to bed with some bottled water and just sleep it off. No thoughts of getting to any shops as no way am I going to have loss of down below bodily function in any supermarket.
First 24 hours is usually the worst and someone else on here mentioned the B.R.A.T. recovery diet it stands for bananas, rice, cooked apple, dry toast. It works for me and when feeling better the apple can be some of that one like the apple sauce in a jar which is delicious with a jacket potato.
If I was you I would definitely give a miss to the curry for a while longer just to be on the safe side.

Sounds like the bug that has been plaguing DH and me for the last week or so.

Hope you get over it soon.

You've just got noro. It's like flu in many ways except the bottom is runny instead of the nose.

To cheer you up, everyone in the shop you visited is now sharing your discomfort

I suggest you ring 111 to check out your symptoms against Campylobacter. I had this a few years ago and your experience sounds worryingly similar. At one point, before diagnosis, I had to wear padding to go out... The source in my case was a dairy pasteurizer which wasn't working... We were having the lovely local milk delivered to our doorstep...

Contact NHS 111 for advice This is an excellent service and helped me when I needed advice in the early hours for an unpleasant reaction I experienced from prescription meds.

Does no one read posts? The OP has already phoned 111 and been diagnosed with norovirus by the doctor she spoke to.

Littleannie ???

My daughter had this and it went through her jeans and onto her sofa! Left a nasty stain too. She was ok after a few days though thankfully.

We had norovirus here a few years ago. Started with me, coming out of both ends at once, then my husband started, then my disabled daughter, who, as she can`t move very quickly, was in even more of a mess than we were. Altogether, between the 3 of us, it lasted a week. I hope we never get it again.

Omg sounds horrific. Stay home. Drink. Sleep. Take temp! No advice, otherwise.

Could be Noro Virus.

Phoenix only you could turn this sort of happening into a comedy!

I had the same thing happen to me last week, (now followed by a dreaded kidney infection [groan]) so have been barely able to raise an eyebrow, never mind a smile, but - yes, you made me chuckle. Get well soon.

Readymeals as mentioned, it happened in the car park, not in the shop.

Getting very fed up with the pain, like contractions but with pain in the kidney region of my back added for good measure.

Sorry to read this phoenix but sadly, unsurprised. The Lurgy has been striking almost all of us. I was half way through a bowl of rather good home made chicken soup when suddenly - never been so sick in my life. Off to bed -same as you, hot water bottles, heating up high, freezing cold, feet like ice blocks. Mine morphed into a hideous sinus infection so I'm on antibiotics and 4 weeks later beginning to feel a bit better

Oh ga you have been poorly, hope you are mending now.

Iam64 apparently antibiotics are no good for Norovirus, but will see how it goes and may go to see my GP on Monday.

Of course if my bottom is still playing up, I may have to replace the driving seat with a commode...........

On the minus side you feel dreadful
On the plus side you may lose some weight (of course you may not want to)

I will wave from a distance as I would make a terrible nurse

I had something like this a couple of years ago - it lasted nearly a week and I felt more dreadful as the week wore on which I think with hindsight was dehydration even though I was drinking water. Someone suggested mashed banana which was the first thing I managed to eat - when I fancied fish finger sandwiches I knew I was on the mend. Hope you feel better soon.

Bananas are good invalid food.

I really, really cannot stand bananas!

Managed a boiled egg earlier, just hope it's on the approved list (I know it's not included in Brat) and am keeping up the dioralyte, even though the blackcurrant one is vile.

Sorry!

If it tastes awful it must be good for you, or so they used to say when I was a child!
I never did believe them.

When I had a truly vicious tropical bug, a local doctor told me to avoid protein and fibre for a week after the symptoms had gone, so I lived on white bread and honey until I could face anything more substantial. The two times I've had norovirus, I've done the same.

Headache is often due to dehydration. OH had to go into hospital with similar symptoms, but made very much worse due to dehydration. Once there he had to drink all day long and was on a drip too, so don't underestimate how much you need to drink to rehydrate. Incidentally he was told bugs affect people differently as we'd eaten the same food but he had campylobacter. Hope you are feeling better very soon Phoenix.

I know there's a tummy bug going around. Could be that. Hope you soon feel better Phoenix.
