[A Quiet Boom]

Yeah,

So far this thing has knocked out the owner of my company for a week, our chemist for several days and one other worker, I got it the worst though mainly because I pushed myself for several days after getting it, even working late on my CNC mill a few nights. Twelve hour days when you're sick are a very bad idea. One of my customers told me he has had so many call-offs this year he almost thought it was a strike LOL. I'm pretty susceptable to the lower GI's anyway so I sort of blew it off at first but like dd74 said, all of the sudden it just knocked me out. After a full day of not keeping anything solid down I figured I'd have a GNC meal replacement shake made with milk (I lift and use these for extra protein) another dumb idea, that came up right away. Not until I got to the ER did I find out everything I was trying to eat was only making the problem worse, especially dairy. I drink at least a half gallon of milk everyday plus cream in my coffee and I love cheese. I also love red sauces on my pasta, another bad thing to eat when you're sick like this. I'm laughing now but I sure wasn't a few days ago. My mother dropped off a pot of homemade chicken soup some of which I'm scarfing down even at this late hour, I swear that stuff is magic! Thanks mom

ubiquity0, I'd bet you're right. Our chemist is 74 and got the flu shot because he had a heart attack last year and he still got the flu, what's that tell you? Of course he goes to the doctor the minute he doesn't feel right unlike my stupid butt.
