Is there a stomach/gastric bug doing the rounds?

Cramps just below rib cage.

Sweats.

Anyone else?

Thanks.

Yeah. About five people rang in sick this week in work complaining of it.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-11-2018 06:51AM

Yep I think so

Oink · 10-11-2018 07:26AM

2-3 people out in my place last week with something nasty,

I read that Adenovirus is going around the U.K., no reason to think it can't jump the water.

I stay on the farm but my spouse is in town most days shopping and at the gym. She wears an N95 mask and doesn't get whatever is going around. I would like to highly recommend wearing the N95 with charcoal filter, they're inexpensive and not uncomfortable to wear, even during activities like the gym. Any cloth mask won't do for flu and virus.

Yeah theres defo something going around. Fair few in a heap over the last 3 weeks.

Graces7 · 10-11-2018 08:06AM

Thankfllly avoided that but caught a nasty flu type thing while out on my cat rescuing mission.... the earth keeps swaying... Germ warfare out there..

Spent a lot of the week hollaring down the big white telephone.
Normally these bugs last 24 hours, this one hit me for three days. I am still not right.

I think I'd rather get the flu than look like a complete idiot.

yeah, got a flu like thing in February, lasted about 6 weeks. At the end of it woke one morning to vertigo, which STILL hasn't gone away. Hospital appointment next April - hahahaha.

On topic, yep mild tummy upsets in the house, stomach cramps etc. Happened this week. Dublin 5 area, OH works in town.

Dinarius · 10-11-2018 02:55PM

My abdominal cramps are such that I haven’t slept in two days.

Total constipation also.

Not good.

Our 2 year old was up all tuesday night and through wednesday throwing up. Then my wife was the same thursday night through friday morning and this morning 3am our son got sick. Havent been 100% myself either since yesterday. Does seem to be a 24 hour bug.

whelan2 · 10-11-2018 02:59PM

Young lad ended up in casualty last week with it, vomiting every 10 minutes. Horrible stuff. Rest of us got it but not as bad as he did.

Tazio · 10-11-2018 03:01PM

Cork.. a lad in work was hospitalised there last Friday. Stomach cramps headache feeling weak. I saw him in work and he was sweating very badly! Taken him 4 days to feel a bit better.

If you're sick STAY AT HOME. Don't be a brave work martyr sharing your bug.

Glad I’m not alone with this tummy bug. Yuck!

You've obviously never had the 'flu.

I've had it twice and I still wouldn't wear a mask in public.

Dinarius · 10-11-2018 05:55PM

Sounds like a few of you have had winter vomiting bug.

No vomiting for me; just flu-like pain in stomach and abdomen. Very sore!

I always doubt anyone who treats it as a sort of inconvenience. Maybe you've had it and understand it, but for the most part, people who say they've had the the flu without recoiling in horror, haven't had it.

The flu and broken collar bones.. Two things people dismiss until you go through either.

Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed.

Perhaps you would both get the flu and simultaneously look like an idiot. What are the odds, eh?

In Japan face masks are common, as an act of politeness to avoid infecting others. I have them here but so rarely almost never out among folk. Taking my lack of working immune system seriously.

Nice idea, but we are not allowed sick days at work, If we are sick then we dont get paid and get wrote up on next review.

You’ll be grand before you’re married...

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that I survived the night.
My three year old had it since Thursday and my wife has it now. A nasty one.

OldMrBrennan83 · 11-11-2018 10:21AM

I could do with a good dose of this. This week of all weeks.

Is there a stomach/gastric bug doing the rounds?
