Anyone Been Unwell?

[seanisonfire]

just checking if anyone has been unwell recently like me?

about a month n a half ago i had the flu really bad.. i had it for about 10 days! i eventually got better and went on a holiday over to thailand (phuket). while i was over there i got sick again.. this time i had a nausea sickness. total loss of appetite, bad stomach pains and really bad dhiarrhea! i had it for about a week.. even when i returned home! i thought it was from eating something bad over there..

i have been feeling well for the last couple of weeks until friday night just gone.. the nausea came back and i have lost my appetite again.. pretty much the same as when i was on holidays! i had a really bad sore throat last night, and feel like im getting a bad cough!

i kinda think that all the sicknesses are linked in some way? alot of people i know have been sick lately

so has anyone experienced something like this??

go to the doctors and get a blood test.

but best to go see the doctor mate, can't hurt.

I've been suffering from nausea for the past 2 weeks, feeling real lightheaded and having a loss of appetitite (which leads me to starve then I get even worse and start getting migraines). I left work early again today for this reason. I dont know what it is (definately not the flu), but if it persists for another week I;m definately taking a visit to the doctor for the first time in my life.

i went to the docs today! i had to give a stool sample and also a blood sample.. results should be back in the next couple of days!

i have been feeling exactly the same as dani boi and crans.. maybe its a virus going around atm?? hopefully things get better soon

got sick about a month and a half ago - and now im starting to feel the sore throat AGAIN.

When people say they have the flu generally its just a common cold and they get over it in a few days. If your bed ridden for over a week with huge fever like symtems and you sleep most of the day you have real influenza, generally type a. Once you have had it you really cant get for a long time after as your body finally becomes immune and thats how it goes away. You will then stay immune for a long time after. Thats pretty much what the flu shot does it gives you a tiny dose of the flu to get your immunity up.

Sounds like you have a bad virus not associated with influenza go see a local gp.

AIDS?

[seanisonfire]

update- just been to the docs for the results on the blood test.. clear of anything major like hepatitis.. but i did have abnormal liver functions! so i have to have a liver ultrasound 2moro!!

the doc told me there is a virus going around atm with the symptoms like mine.. nausea/vomiting/diarrhea for the first few days and then start developing flu like symptoms such as sore throat/cough/aches! apparently it originated i queensland

Usually I get sick about once, maybe twice a year. This year I've lost count...

Had my usual sickness near the start of winter, then was getting over it. My boss went on holiday to Mauritius, came back to work sick (thanx boss), and I picked it up off him. No-one else did, and I think that was cos my immune system was still a bit low. That made me sick for a few weeks, but thankfully got better just before my holiday to Broome.

In Broome, we sunk bulk piss. Was f**king ace actually. But anyway, I didn't get sick like I did last time I did that & came home, but a few weeks after going back to work I was sick again. Since then I've just got over it (literally a day or 2 feeling 100%), then I've been knocked back down again. I'm at the end of another one now, sinus stuff annoys me sometimes & I cough every now & then but fine apart from that. I'm hoping now it's warming up that will be the end of it. But if not, then I'm gonna have to go to the docs & see if anything to do with work is affecting me, all flour n things like that....
