is this food poisoning (poss tmi ....)

It could be or it could be SF (the sympton lists I've seen include V&D).

Whichever, it sounds very nasty - take care of yourself, and get plenty of rest.

There has been a bad D&V bug going around here, we all had it and it seemed only had to be near someone and ten mins later thay had it. it only lasted 2 to 3 days though x

I had this a couple of weeks ago. I had exactly the same symptoms as you - ate as normal on saturday, woke up on sunday feeling queasy and spent the day throwing up. The runs part started a little later for me, but it was just how you describe - grim.

I had the monday & tuesday off work, went back on wednesday but didn't really feel 'right' again until the friday.

I'm not sure what it was - some poeple have said it could have been SF but who knows. I didn't have a temperature but apparenlty some peple who get SF don't... I think it was probably just a nasty D&V bug.

Just drink plenty of fluids (although I struggeld to keep water down on the first day) and eat when you feel like it.

Thanks for the replies.... i just my body to stop hurting!!

I had something similar a couple of months ago, basically i was sick/had the trots every 40-60 minutes for about 12 hours, no matter what i ate or drank it came straight back up, i felt as though my body had been through 12 rounds with mike tyson. H had it a couple of days before me so i guess i picked it up from him. I've never had a vomiting bug so bad before.

I hope that you feel better soon x

I dont know if it is swine flu or food poisoning but all i will say is make sure you are drinking lots of liquid Mrs SP and look after yourself. Maybe try a wee bit dry toast later on!!!

WEES but wanted to wish you better soon! x

I thought sickness and diarrhoea were among the main symptoms of swine flu? (Not saying you have it of course, just pointing this out).
