I work in a school in Southern Maryland and we have a really nasty tummy bug going around.

I live in the Omaha area and I had heard there was something going around about a month ago. Anyway, I'm feeling better this morning, still weak but at least feel like I'm getting back to normal. Thanks to all of you for your good wishes!

I don't know what area of the country you live in, but I work in an elementary school near Dayton, Ohio and there is a nasty stomach virus going around. I know of very few people who have been able to escape it. Even the healthiest of the staff and students were down with it. Symptoms only last 24 to 48 hours, but you feel like you were hit by a truck for about 3 to 4 days after. I would keep a close eye on your fluids..you don't want to get dehydrated. Good luck, get plenty of rest!!!!
kathy, I hear you about the unending injections. I felt like a pin cushion by the time tx was finished. I'm sure you must have felt terrible when you had the colds during chemo. It's a funny thing, I was never sick during my chemo other than the wretched side effects. But here I am now with a flaming case of the flu, go figure. I was also not told to get a flu shot (and I should know better since I'm an RN). I'm feeling a bit better tonight, hopefully will be able to kick it soon.
I have had colds twice during Chemo and it was a rough time. I did go to the Dr and got a bigger dose of Neupogen which finally kicked it. They gave me the option of not having Chemo and I should have put it off, I was real sick. Also I cannot believe that Dr.s do not tell how important it is to get Flu Shot. Last week I started to fall in my wood shed and let go of the wood as not to fall and both of my hands landed on rusty nails, could not believe it, I called in and told me to come in for a Tetnaus shot, just what I wanted another Shot!!! I hope you can start to feel better soon.....
Ha, Tascha I agree that it does suck canal water!
I was not dx with ovca, however after my lengthy laproscopic surgery 3+ hrs to remove large dermoids and ovaries, I came down with the flu! Sucks canal water as Mary V would say. Hang in there and drink plenty of fluids. Godspeed
