I came down with some sort of bug late sunday night. It really didnt let me sleep. I dont know if it was what I ate Sunday afternoon. I ate at IHOP. Anyway I felt terrible all day Monday and didnt eat anything all day. I forced my self to eat a wonton soup and some alka-seltzer tablets at around 4pm. I was achey and had a headache and slept all afternoon until next day which is today tuesday. I did not puke or have the runs. I did go to the bathroom though. I really do not feel that hungry again. Just looking at food makes me sick and I normally eat 2 1/2 - 3 hours. All I want to eat is soup. Help you guys what should I do???

I had that bug- amazing you can feel so bad and not die isn't it? Mine came on quickly, threw up a time or two, slept for up to 16 hours with every joint and bone aching....forced sips of water and ginger ale, but 24 hours with just fluid is best, then add back in jello and clear soup if you can...I was really wiped for 5 DAYS, and then by day 6 crept back to work, and abruptly felt like my old self on day 7....
Here is the warped,twisted part, as I lay there on the bathroom floor (my basset hound,beagle,and golden all in a solemn semi-circle around me -either worried or hoping to eat me if I died)- in horrible pain and nausea, a bright spot appeared in my head,"hey, maybe Ill lose a couple pounds!!!"
The following week, ate very clean and very LITTLe....
Poor baby! Take a hot soapy shower, have someone change your sheets and lysol everything, throw the windows open for some air for awhile...then put pjs in the dryer while you shower so they'll be nice and warm..then curl up with clean warm pjs in a fresh bed and sip fluids continually....OH - for some reason Perrier worked for me.....
Let us know how you do!

Sorry to hijack, but I had to say-- completely awesome mental picture with the dogs! Mine do the same thing when I'm feeling like poo.
Although the "waiting to eat me" thing had never previously occurred to me...MC

I'm on day 5, I'm much better today, it does get better, I swear! In the beginning, Gatorade helped me a lot, I could not eat at all, and the Gatorade just felt good and helped keep me hydrated, for some reason, plain water was not doing it for me. Then I moved on to things like bread, crackers, and nilla wafers.
So sorry you are going through this, my husband just came home from work, and he has it now, I feel just horrible that I passed this on to him.
Stay warm and stay in bed, hope you have a fast recovery.
