Anyone else SUFFERED with the stomach flu going around?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sookie · 03-31-2008, 06:39 AM

I woke up Saturday morning feeling as if a mangy old opossum had crawled inside my belly and died.

For the next two days my body tried desperately to expel the remains of that badger from any available orifice, which at times required both toilet and bucket. The warning that signaled me to sprint to the bathroom with the agility of Flo-Jo was a rotgut pain that can only be described as major abdominal surgery minus the anesthesia. Since there was a small window of opportunity to get from my bed to the smallest room in the house, I had to holler an additional warning to anyone who might have to vacate that room. It sounded something like "aaacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk".

These episodes would last for approximately 5 minutes, but it felt much longer. Afterward I would be left panting with my teeth chattering and my bones aching. The only cure for this latest phenomenon was to submerge myself into a bath so hot it might have been used as one of Henry VIII's torture techniques. Needless to say I took a lot of hot baths.

Today I'm feeling almost normal. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! Thanks for listening.

I so understand what you are going through and I am so happy to hear you are much better. I had it in Feb. and boy was it bad. Just like you it came out both ends and I felt horrible. I didn't know what was wrong I woke up with my stomach rumbling ad hurting like crazy. I felt like I was dying. I was so happy when it finally came out but my throat start hurting me. I took hot baths too they really help. I know one thing i will not eat any of my mom's meatballs again! lol

I'm happy to hear you are on the mend. I had it a few weeks ago and was down for a full week

Take care of yourself, people have been telling me that too much too soon can cause a relapse of this flu!
