I am recovering from the mother of all stomach viruses. I'm still not completely well after having it for about a week (still having to run to the can about 6 times a day). The worst part lasted about 3 days. I couldn't eat anything. If I tried I became unbearably nauseated. I could drink liquids, but even that made me a little sick, so for a while I ingested nothing. I became dangerously dehydrated, and had to go to the emergency room, where they pumped 2 bags of saline in me via IV. I needed help to stand, and felt really weak and disconnected. Imagine constantly being on the verge of passing out. I have never, ever been so sick in my life.
Just thought I'd share my tale of misery with you.
