I have the stomach flu

[powergirl]

My two sons and husband had it first and it is my turn now. Blech . Never posted in the lounge before but I needed a sympathetic ear.


The emoticon shows how a feel at this moment:

1. My ear is sympathetic. But you don't have the stomach flu.

"Stomach flu" doesn't exist. Influenza is respiratory in nature. What you have is acute gastritis. If you have it coming out both ends, then it's acute gastroenteritis.

I'm just sayin'...

Get better soon...

2. I'm sure you are correct

Only barfing for now. The other end isn't happening yet! My sons and husband took 3 days to get over it. I though my daughter and I escaped - but I spoke too soon.

3. Stay close to the bathroom...

7. Poor fingy. You have my sympathy.

I like what Generic Brad says downthread. Have hubby get you some Pedialyte.

Feel better soon!

4. I had it last weekend

Worse 24 hours I've had in a very long time. My sympathies.

5. I think we need more specialized puking icons

One for illness puke, and another for Repuke puke.

Edit: When I looked at your post I thought of Scott Walker instead of the flu.

Hope you feel better soon.

6. Try some Pedialyte
