Unpleasant companions

[lydy]

Rather abruptly, I came down with what was probably a stomach flu Thursday night.  I left work early, and managed to get home before the severe chills hit.  I never took my temperature, but I assume based on the misery of the chills that it was rather high.  At one point, I was unable to roll over in bed, because the effort that took caused severe nausea.  

While neither sensation is pleasant, I would just like to say that ravenous hunger and nausea are particularly unpleasant in combination.  

I am clearly on the mend, and was able to eat soup  last night (tom yum, my go-to sick soup) and two eggs this morning.  So, that's good.  

I have been enjoining my beloveds not to touch me, and washing my hands frequently.  Hopefully no one else ends up with this.  The onset was extremely abrupt, and no one in my social or work circles has this that I know of, so I have no idea what's going on. I suppose the other option is salmonella poisoning.  Any way, it is the ick.

Hope you feel better soon.

My migraines often result in nausea, so I'm quite familiar with that intense hunger and simultaneous desire to throw up. It is Unfun.

I'm glad you're on the mend, though.

Eeeesh, I'm glad you're on the mend! Hope you're back in fighting form soon, I definitely know what a norovirus feels like.

Nausea sucks and is useless.

Bleah, that's loads of No Fun At All. Glad you've survived it thus far (soup! eggs!). Mmmm tom yum.

I hope you feel entirely well very soon! There is something similar going around here, although thus far nobody in my family has caught it.
