Started out of the blue with diarrhoea last Thursday evening, left off slightly until Saturday then it's started again. Also feeling hot, so tired and no energy.

Went to bed at 9.30 last nigh feeling absolutely exhausted. Feel slightly better today and tummy has stopped gurgling. Incidentally I think I may have had a temperature also as one of the sheets was slightly damp.

No appetite which is not like me. Let's hope we're all going to be fit and well by Christmas.

I started with diarrhoea at the beginning of December. It lasted for a couple of days, I had four days off, and then it started again and has been on and off since then. So bad at the end of last week that I went to see the GP. Have now sent off stool samples, had bloods taken and have to give a urine sample too.
I too feel tired but I don't have a temperature or any other symptoms of infection. I'm trying to carry on as normal, it's a busy time of year to be ill.

Kiwiqueen123 have you considered flu? It fits with your symptoms.
I had it last year, and I remember it very well 🙁

I felt very sick and dizzy for about 5 days last month and was unable to eat anything though I drank plenty Turmeric and other teas as well as mugs of hot Honey and Cider Vinegar in hot water. Rounded off with diarrhoea for the last couple of days. DH - plus a visitor who arrived 10 days later - were both fine..... We're in Orkney.....
