Seems noravirus, covid, flu and pneumonia are running rampant. I had something the past week where I was shitting non stop/puking but no temp. 250 kids were out of school yesterday and for our small community that is a lot. It's been blowing through my staff over the past 3 weeks as well.

Worst I have seen it in a while.

Had a cold a few weeks ago.

Mostly from my co-workers with kids.

The kids bring it home from school.

Tons of people sick around here, including our daughter the past couple of weeks. She's had some sort of bug that causes stomach issues and chest/head congestion. People in our office were coughing and hacking last week when I was there. I've been lucky not to catch anything so far this winter.

I had something last night. Woke up at like 2am with my stomach killing me. Soon after that I felt like my whole body was cramping up. Went to the bathroom, but couldn't do anything and the cramping got worse. Went back to bed and stomach got worse. Back in the bathroom and now I feel like I'm on the verge of shitting my brains out or hurling my guts up...but I'm not sure which and either felt like it could happen at any moment. Then I start PROFUSELY sweating all over my entire body, but it's cold sweat. I'm drenched like I was breaking a fever or something. I finally shit like crazy twcie and it was ultra painful. By this point, I'm dizzy. Go back to bed and feel like I should just pass out, but can't sleep. I just kinda lie there the rest of the night and still felt like ass after I got up a few hours later. I ate a little and it eased off, but WTF that shit was is beyond me.

My daughter has some kinda flu, but no stomach issues like I did, and I don't have any flu symptoms.

Sounds like the same shit my daughter was dealing with. She was miserable for several days.

Same exact thing as me. I was completely out of commission on Tuesday and Wednesday. No temp either but the chills and aches were bad enough I just assumed my thermometer was broke.

Go big on Vitamin C, excessively big
Get some Zinc in ya as well

My go to is a bunch of roasted garlic cloves with a couple pieces of bread, the mad garlic will clean my blood and return me to badassness...allegedly

Lotta folk seem sick around here, not me or my lady the last couple years thankfully.

Thanks, man - I'm good now. After I got up & moving around and ate a little this morning, it passed. So who knows WTF it was.

I've never had anything like it, though. Especially my whole body cramping up and the cold sweats. Not to mention it all hitting me like a ton of bricks in the middle of the night outta nowhere.

Dang, man - I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she's better now - or at least will be, soon.

Good advice, here.

And if you have been sick, be sure to keep hydrated and supplement with salt & potassium for electrolytes. Chugging some broth can help a lot with that, as well.

Kids going back to school has gotten me sick more times as an adult than anything & everything else combined. lmao
