Not sick myself but sounds like it could be Norovirus (Norwalk virus). Saw on the news a couple weeks ago it was making rounds across southern Ontario. My sister is a pharmacist at the hospital and she tells me she sees a few cases each year...Definitely no picnic for the next few days. Highly contagious.

 

Drink plenty...Hope you and your family get better soon

had it 2 weeks ago. dry heaves are the worst part.

Had it a few weeks ago..worse part is not being sure what end stuff is gonna come out of. My suggestion (through experience) is when you are gonna puke, take a bucket and sit on the can at the same time.

I learned I am not a graceful vomitter!!

I'm going on 2 weeks now. No vomiting for me but got everything else. Nasal congestion and cough are something else. I haven't had it this bad in years. The way I'm feeling right now, the symptoms could go on for another week. What's really frustrating is that with a newborn niece around I've done everything humanly possible to the point of compulsive hand washing not to get this. Hope everyone gets better soon.

I found also the dollorama Popcorn buckets work great for the little ones!

Sorry to hear that everyone is sick. I know times are tough when it is as bad as you say. Definitely not a good thing to put up with.

 

So with that said, would all of you mind telling me where you are at all times so that I can keep a safe distance?

Here is the advice given to me by my doctor when ever you get a stomach bug.

 

 

 

To avoid dehydration continue to drink fluids and gradually eat a bland diet such as the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and dry toast). A bland diet is easily digested and is unlikely to irritate your stomach.

 

Hope it helps

WOW, sounds like a lot of you guys in the Great White North are getting it bad....well at least it's not the H1N1 flue as that can kill you........my oldest son is a doctor at William Patterson Air Force Base and he had a 26 year old pregnant women with the H1N1 flue.....unfortunately she lost the baby and last I heard she was only getting a 30% chance of survival.......I felt so bad I haven't and wouldn't ask how she made out.

Unfortunately, it usually is. Heavy doses of vitamin c might help.
