Agree with others, that’s not a normal bug. Food poisoning is usually 24hrs max, gastro can be up to 2 days, max 3 if it’s really bad. Not being able to sleep for more than a few hours isn’t good. This probably needs a doctors visit.
Have you been to a doctor? That’s a long time for a standard bug. The last person I know who had that sort of ongoing issue had picked up a nasty parasite in Bali.
If it’s been going this long you really should go now. Most stomach bugs don’t last more than about 24 hours, this really does sound like something more serious. The longer whatever it is has to establish the harder it is to get rid of and you could be turning a minor problem into something major.
Google search of multiple places say you should seek medical attention if symptoms go longer than 3 days, you are well past that already. I know it’s great having your username be so appropriate, but it’s not worth risking your health just for that.
I think you got your mother’s stubborness in regards to medical care.
Um this is a long shot, but have the next door builders been dropping stuff in the guttering or over the house and/or garden? Lots of building substances are toxic when broken or distributed as a powder. It’s not just asbestos that you need to worry about on a building site. The fact that ol boy got it too has my trouble whiskers twitching.
I had that a few weeks ago. I just stopped eating in the afternoon so there would be nothing to pass at night. Stay stocked on the hydralite, that really caught me out
This tum tum bug is doing my head in. Day 5 now :(
Thought it turned the corner but nope.
Doing all the right things (BRAT etc.). Shitload of water.
C’mon tum tum… get your shit together (literally). I just need a few hrs of uninterrupted sleep.
So yeah fun fact if you need the impetus: “Stomach flu” is how my burkitt’s lymphoma manifested.

Not to a GP yet but will next week if things don’t change. It’s a bugger of a bug.

Pretty sure. Probs I caught it going out last Fri. P’s went away until Sun. Felt it Sunday morning, one day later ol’ boy got the same thing. ugh.
