Wow,
It's nice to have the energy to sit at my comp again. I've been down since the Wed before last. No energy, could hardly eat and what I did eat came out one end or the other. It got really bad when I couldn't even keep my anti-anxiety medicine down so on top of being sick I was nervous as well. I called my psych and he told me to go to the ER, wound up on IV for fluids and having blood tests run. Sure enough the ER doc told me this thing has been knocking totally healthy people down like the plague. Matter of fact she told me I'd have been worse of if I hadn't drank plenty of Gatorade and Propel water. Anyway they got some food in me later that day and put me on the "BRAT" diet for a few days (banana's, rice, applesauce and toast) yuck! but at least I kept it all down. I was also told to stay home all this week from work which is very tough for me since I love my job and frequently put in late hours. Finally I'm getting the strength back and actually just got back from dinner with the wife. Anyway this thing is a nasty one, I learned on a machinst's board of a member's friend who died from it, another member who is a teacher whose had about 60% absence rate with students and faculty.
Just a warning, don't make the mistake I did and push yourself if you get this thing. Stay home, drink lots of clear fluids and try that BRAT diet. If you're not better in a few days get to a hospital.
Stay well guys, spring's almost here!
