Sorry I’ve been AWOL. I’ve progressed from quite sick to violently ill, but at a ECA Amendment Bill workshop the last two days to cover it for MyBroadband.

Kantrexil is magic, but no substitute for rest.

Hopefully I’ll be able to go the doctor today and take tomorrow off to give my body a rest.

It can be safe to eat Russians…

Might not be safe for work, depending on what you do for a living, of course

I was at the doctor yesterday- he says there are a lot of weird stomach bugs going around- in some cases they don’t even know what they’re up against.

Is this the end of humanity?

I think it is! And I got the bug - light version so far, but got a bug :frowning:

Never had a bug last so long. Normally it’s about 2 days or so but I’ve had it since last Thursday.

Mine started over the weekend, figured it was the rich food we had at Devils Peak De Oude - but it seems it wasnt that since I am the only one.

The same for me — started last week, seemed to go away so I went out over the weekend, then got worse over Sunday and Monday.

Drank some medicine yesterday, so feel a bit better today, but still have:

  • fever (sometimes cold sweats, sometimes just hot)
  • unable to even look at slightly rich food, but not really nauseous
  • post-nasal drip
  • lyfseer / (aching all over?)
  • sensitive skin
  • fatigue
  • less pleasant stomach bug stuff

See I have a few of those symptoms as well, just been drinking Smecta to keep the tummy at bay and stuff for the nausua. Im exhausted even tho I slept from 9ish till midnight and then again from 12:30 till 7:30 this morning.

The fever I have kept at bay with panado and Linctagon, but I have stuck to eating marmite on toast. And my fruit smoothies.

How long has the body aching lasted? I had that only for one day, and he said that consistent aches could even be dysteria - which is what the whole scare is about. Your symptoms are the same as mine were. Wasn’t really nauseous , but I still have fatigue - I have to sit down often after mild exertion.

I had that weird eye thing that led to flu a month ago. Finally had my first run on Saturday after a month of rest and 5 days of buffet food in Ghana (I tried some salad and didn’t get sick. :relieved:) Man my legs are sore now.

I had a vomiting-thing a week ago but only lasted 1 day. Then wife had it, lasted a few days longer. Little one starting to vomit now.

Seriously now, has your doc tested for listeriosis or at least started you on antibiotics for listeriosis?
