6 Days Flu....

[Critch17]

Last Friday (10/24) I felt lousy all day. Nauseous/ bloated. Late in the afternoon I got extremely clammy and got up because I thought I was going to vomit. I made it into the bathroom and started to pass out, turning very pale and feeling numb all over as well as my vision becoming dimmed. I laid down to sleep and felt better.

I then had water/loose diarrhea from Fri (10/24) a couple times a day until Mon (10/27). Today is Weds (10/29) and I just had sludge diarrhea. I haven't gone to work and I'm supposed to be going on vacation Monday. This has been 6 days of not feeling my best. My diet has been consisting of gatorade, water and "Naked" juice fruit smoothie. Toast w/ PB, Rice and yesterday I figured it'd been plenty long enough and ate a sandwich which made me feel worse.

I know a lot of people have been getting a pretty nasty flu this fall, I've never had it last for 6 days. Does anyone have input? I don't have a fever so I'm not thinking this is Ebola.. (haha..) Thoughts?

So an update...

Got stool samples tested and got blood taken.

No Bacteria
No Parasites
No White Blood Cell Problems

The battle rages on... Never heard of a stomach virus lasting this long.. Anyone have any thoughts? I leave for a business trip Monday!!!

I should mention I feel better then feel worse too.

My issue is my primary care practitioner left his practice and I don't currently have a primary care doctor. Could this be food poisoning? I don't know what else this could be. Seems like my body just rejects everything I put into it. Usually the flu is gone after 2-3 days and you're eating normally after. I want to eat in the worst way but feel terrible. I own my own business and cannot afford to keep pushing clients off.

There are many different virus going round and no it wont be Ebola unless you have been in contact with someone coming back  from Africa then I would go and get checked out, if you get checked out you can mention your fears about It .eat and drink lightly and it will go away ...it may be food related so go get it checked out to be on the safe side .
