Poorly tummy

Probably should have been in “Chat” but never mind.

All I can send is sympathy. Hope you are better soon

Hi, yes I think it's a bug, I had tummy gripes, feeling sick and a headache last week, felt much better by the 3rd day, but the gripes continued for another couple of days.Hope you feel better soon.

gillybob There does seem to be a lot of it about. Morethan2 was complaining about it also.
Hope you feel better soon

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my sob story . I do hope I haven’t passed anything onto my DGC who stayed at mine on Monday night .

Norvovirus has shut down wards in Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford . Dont know if it's rife elsewhere?

Yes Noro has closed a school in York for a deep clean. It's the season for bugs. Hope you feel better soon - it's more likely you've picked it up from one of the GC rather than the other way round.

The children have all been fine (she said touching wooden head) willow so doubt I have caught anything from them.

I hate it when it gets to this time of the year and that dreaded bug starts to appear. You probably won't feel like eating but make sure you drink plenty of fluid and stay hydrated. Could you work from home tomorrow - not good to go in and infect your workforce if you can help it?

It’s fine willow I spend almost all of my time at work alone anyway, so I doubt there will be anyone to infect. Well maybe the postman but I will have him leave the post in the passageway just incase . Unfortunately I Can’t work from home as I need to “woman” the phone and do wages etc.

It is quite weird really - this now seems to be an annual winter problem; but I cannot remember it being quite like this when I was at school; nor indeed my children.

gilly - I hope you will be better soon - please please please do not go into work till you are truly better! You will drive yourself into the ground and give it to everyone else.

It’s all just such a waste of time when you have precious little of it anyway. Grrrrrr.

Oh dear gilly My daughter has just recovered from the Norvovirus.
Thankfully we were able to contain it by having DGC to stay at our house.

One of the worst symptoms according to
my daughter was the dreadful tummy cramps.

Little grandson now under the weather, nursery has got 4 off with chickenpox, he and his brother had chickenpox last year but I know that it can hit more than once. (I had it twice!)

Hopefully it is just a 48 hour virus gilly
Look after yourself keep warm.

Sorry you feel so sick Gillybob it's miserable isn't it ? Keep warm and drink plenty of clear fluids, get well for the mince pie season

Sympathies Gillybob. My tum was really upset from very early Tues morning. I slept all day, didn’t even hear the window cleaner clattering over the garage roof. I have been up today, but no energy. I had thought it was related to a new prescription drug, but probably now think it was a bug.
Don’t rush back ‘to that place’ if you are still under the weather. Take care and get well soon,

What every one else said gilly. Not much good having time off work if you are too ill to enjoy it. Take it easy and maybe send your self home earlier tomorrow?

Gilly - I'm putting my 'mum' hat on here! It's very noble to be so conscientious about work, but you are ill - it happens. Just take some time off to look after yourself and make sure you are fully recovered before going back. No-one is indispensable and your health should come first. Stop worrying, settle down with a duvet, hot drink, tv, book, whatever and make the most of some me time. Lecture over - hope you feel better soon!

If it's a tummy bug absolutely do not drag yourself into work, especially if you are in contact with children. There would be an awful lot of unhappy parents around should you spread anything to their offspring just before Christmas!!!

PS I hope you feel better soon.

Daughter who works as crew on major airline was recently "passengered" home from Los Angeles with norovirus .... the vomiting had stopped but the feeling ill continued ... she was unwell for about 5 days ...

DGS 1 gave me norovirus about 5 years ago. The sickness etc didn't last long, but felt very weedy for several days after. Oddly, only my son-in-law and I got it, other family members escaped.
Be kind to yourself, gillybob.

Gillybob, I’m sorry you are feeling so poorly, and hope you feel better soon.
But, it drives me nuts when I hear someone say they will HAVE to go to work though not better, because .....!
It’s so selfish, as are those who cough and splutter all over the place, sneezing without any attempt to put a hand in front of their mouth. Germs are so easily spread and there are those who are so vulnerable in the firing line! My beloved battled Multiple Myeloma for 6 years, the disease and the treatment massively impaired his immune system, and he would catch something so easily. Just a cold or minor bug would result with him being rushed into Oncology with Sepsis.
Two years ago my darling 6 month old Grandaughter caught a cold/bug and was too tiny to fight it off. She spent several days in the ITU with bilateral pneumonia and only just pulled through. Many tiny babies in that state don’t!
Please please think very carefully before risking others health because you ‘have so much to do’!
Ok, rant over!

Luckygirl Very sensible of you and your daughter.This is the time of year when hospitals start to see an increase of people suffering from associated with winter ailments. I recall November December 2017, myself 'holed up' at home with a chest infection,the media showing hospitals unable to cope with the surge of people suffering ailments not uncommon with that time of year.So isn't it up to ourselves to accept responsibility and if it means taking time off work, keeping children off school, isolating ourselves from others therefor preventing the passing on of our ailments, so be it.

I believe there is also adenovirus going around which can cause enteritis symptoms.

Oh and a vaccine for noro is under development. Can't come soon enough!!
