how bad is it?It really worries me!x

riley. 20-07-2009 10:48 AM

what is it like ?

from my experience it feels like you've been hit by a bus, and its gone over you a couple of times... at one point i really thought i might die >.< ergh

thankfully the vomiting has subsided for now.... but the rest is still lurking- i guess it depends on your immune system to begin with as to how it might hit you.

aching bloked sinuses, migrane like headaches, dry cough that rings through you every time you cough, several bog rolls of nose blowing, bowl by the bed, feeling like you're going to pass out even when lying down, chest so tight that feels like you can't breathe- not helped by blocked sinuses, fever that sends you hot to cold in seconds and back again not knowing which end to point and the loo- its certainly not glamourous!

i'm feeling slightly better now in that i can move around without holding on to things and am actually able to Think now! its lasting its course though :(

the rubbish part is trying to take meds to help and then bringing them straight back up again :( but alas i]m getting through it slowly. Dr said they aren't trying to contain it any more so i can go out if i want to- i don't really feel like it at all though.

its a horrible bug, and i hope they get the vaccination sorted soon so people don't have to have it.

its coming up to 2 weeks now and its only just giving me some leave.

managing to eat bread and mash, but that in itself is unhelpful as i shouldn't eat those things but right now its just sustinance rather than nothing.

ergh.. .trots back off to bed methinks

thank you for all your well wishes :)

KrissyInterupted 26-07-2009 07:33 PM

so are you not aloud to do anything? go out ectt

To keep your tablets down, even if you hate milk, fill a tiny glass (enough to swallow tablet) and take it with that - milk lines your stomach, i was told when i had to be hospitalised with a chest infection (evertime i cought i vomitted..lovely) to take a tiny bit of milk with my tablet to line my stomach. Had to have it in hospital too. Try that if you're still being sick.

Think i have the start of it..migraines for the past 3 days, really bad sore throat and cough, keep going hot and cold, i ACHE everywhere, and i have an upset tummy but no vomitting thank god as i can't cope with sick - i can cope with most things but not sick, it sends me into a panic and i feel like i can't breathe!

I hope you feel better soon. X
