I find it amusing that the NHS youtube channel informs me better than any resource in the US. Thank you for your informative videos.

Second time I've ever had noravirus. Wasn't quite as horrific as the first time where i was essentially forced to sleep in my bath! This time round, it's a bit more managable. To anyone else reading this while sat on the loo, hold in there, i feel your pain.

Just getting over this, it is severe. Massive headache and glands in throat swollen right up. That was the first sign of being ill with extreme fatigue. Day 5 now and i can say drinking anything was impossible due to sickness. Just had to rinse mouth out with water. Well done NHS for the best description out there, you are the only one describing the pain in shoulders, upper arms and legs, quite debilitating and the other symptoms pass..i am in my 60 s and havent been so poorly in ages.

Symptoms hit me yesterday morning. It stopped yesterday evening. Took time off today for a full 24 hrs freedom of symptoms. Hardest part was not keeping fluids down. I feel much better.

@joannesaltfleet2071 3 ай бұрын

It hit me on Saturday night and at first I thought I had eaten too much and was sick and I hadn't been sick like that for many years! Thankfully the diarrhea stopped yesterday evening as it was horrible but I got told to stay away from work for a couple of days after symptoms resolve. I feel loads better this morning and have started back on simple foods like toast and soup and have got up and dressed after a shower.

Day 1 ended with fatigue and a headache. Day 2, i woke up exhausted, drained of all energy, a slighty upset stomach and a high fever that evening. Day 3, a full morning of diarrhoea. After the morning period i was 100% back to normal, until i ate a full dinner my wife made me. Then i was all over the place again, diarrhoea returned. Its 4am of Day 4, nothing but dry food now and hopefully this is the end of it.

I’m just getting over this, I still feel very weak with not much appetite. I got pretty dehydrated from not being able to keep water down but once the vomiting stopped I started to improve. Unfortunately my elderly mother is in hospital receiving fluids because of the prolonged diarrhoea. She’s getting there now.
