|
 |
Utterly sucks. I mostly get it once every other year unless I'm unlucky and it completely ruins me every time.
I got it this Thursday, puked every hour until around 03:00 last night, now it seems to have gone away so I finally managed to eat and drink something without loosing it directly afterwards. I can barely stand up, my whole body hurts like hell, this has probably been my worst "stomach bug" so far, it'll probably take a whole week from today to recuperate. Lost a lot of weight, even my legs look super skinny now.
So yeah, I'd rather get a cold every other week of the year rather than this shit every other year.  But at least it's over now.
Anyways, got three questions for you guys cause I'm bored and can't do very much at the moment:
Firstly, does this stuff also ruin you guys completely or am I alone in this? One of my friends also get it every other year or so but it doesn't phase him that much, he pukes a bit but it feels more like a hangover for him, which I can't say it does for me. For me I feel like I want to die, completely senseless I know but that's how painful it is for me. I even get all emotional from it, everything just whacks out completely for me.
Secondly, what do you guys suggest eating/drinking while being sick with this stuff? I couldn't hold anything in for more than 30 minutes (at the most), no matter how little. Nothing really seemed to help. I tried drinking room temperature water (very little of it), Coca Cola at room temperature as well, with barely any "bubbles" (left it out for long periods of time before drinking), gave me some energy but that's about it. Also tried some vitamins, nothing noticeable there either.
Thirdly, what's some good stuff for recuperating? I imagine eating anything at this point is good for you but what's some especially good stuff for the body besides normal vitamins?
Always good to know some of this stuff for the next time it happens.

It's best not to eat anything because puking massively drains your body's energy. When I had pneumonia a few years back, I also couldn't eat anything.
I only drank water and ate zwieback ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwieback ), the only thing that stopped me from puking.

Stomach bug means ulcer? Anyway did you see a doctor? Get some med that blocks the synthesis of stomach acid and if possible have the cause be eliminated.

I take a zantac tablet when my stomach acid gets out of control, used to get it only from the docs a while back then it went over the counter, i think at same time voltarol went over the counter as well..
Anyhow zantac are like only 30mg I think, but they do the job, especially if your trying to get a good sleep
long term scriptions of these meds can mask other underlying problems though relating to your digestive area/intestines.. As in you could have other reasons for the discomfort and you could just be masking it with the antacids..

When that hits me (sometimes after drinking) I feel like you: can't do shit.
And drinking fizzy drinks, especially coca-cola or pepsi is the worst possible idea.
Water, or some rose hip tee. At first I can't eat anything without barfing. But after a while it gets better (usually lasts a day), then I eat toast (just bread).

I did some reading up since I wasn't really familiar with the term "stomach bug". Mostly caused by norovirus, highly contagious, bah bad shit. Good news some company is working on a vaccine:
