I came down with the stomach flu during the night on Monday.  Luckily, I kept a trash can next to my bed because I didn't feel well when I went to bed.  Now it's Thursday and I'm not doing any better.  This is very depressing since it's almost Christmas.  My shopping is done but I have presents to wrap.  I'm trying to eat but not much of an appetite.  I had gastrointestinal problems all summer and many tests.  In the last month or so I finally got to feeling better and able to function pretty well.  Now with this hitting me I feel like I'm right back where I started, although it's for a different reason.  I got a flu shot 2 months ago but it doesn't work for the stomach flu.  Hoping this will be over soon.  Thanks for listening.

@Catty2,

My trucker daughter came in with gastro about 6 weeks ago.   The worst was over in 2 days, but the virus stayed in her intestines for nearly 2 weeks.   I told her to take probiotics; she didn’t listen, suffered a few more days before going to her doctor.     The doctor told her to take probiotics; she did, and felt better within 3 days.   I couldn’t resist that I told you so moment.    

Best wishes to you!

Thanks.  I appreciate that information.  Luckily, I only used the trash can that one night but have felt very nauseated and keep it nearby.

@Catty2  I know how miserable you must feel.I’ve had many stomach issues over the last few years,including E. coli & salmonella !! 

  Drink water,even if you can only take little sips.You have to keep from getting dehydrated.If you have stomach pain try a hot water bottle or heating pad.It helped me a lot.Try to get some rest, that always helps.

  I hope you feel better soon.Christmas isn’t for a few more days.I’m sure that you’ll feel better by then.💐
