i finally get a piece of coursework that's been plaguing me for weeks finished and submitted, i think to myself "yes, an evening of rest and relaxation".

trust that on the first evening off for about two weeks i get food poisoning and can't do anything. (not looking for medical advice, don't give any)

stomach/abdomen is in agony and i've been nauseous five or six times, though only vomited once.

the most annoying thing is that tomorrow (well, today, friday) i HAVE to go into Uni because it's the Lab-session for another piece of coursework and if i miss this one i'll be considerably screwed. :(

and i don't even know what's given me the food poisoning either. :mad:
 
The only time I got food poisoning, I got something called reactive arthritis. My knee swelled up, I couldn't walk unaided for 2 weeks, I had gallons of fluid drained from the knee, injections, steroids and tablets that attacked my liver. I ended up needing physiotherapy.

And it was Christmas.
 
Man Up, being ill and complaining about it in between coursework is basically a Uni tradition!
 
alright Lads, i think between the pain and the (hurried) trips to the bog i managed to pass out for a couple of hours and i'm feeling slightly better so i'm going to go in today.

i don't think it's norovirus, symptoms weren't severe enough (only threw up once). i think it's just garden variety food poisoning.

it's either from:
Tesco Chicken and Bacon Wrap (x2)
Greggs Sausage, bean and cheese bake.

i didn't eat anything else yesterday apart from a bounty bar.

He's not throwing up constantly and it's not pouring out the other end which is usually what norovirus causes. He's probably just eaten a dodgy curry :p

I had the norovirus two years ago.

I can confirm if there is no fountain of fluids coming out your bum and you haven't thrown your stomach actually up and out then it isn't the norovirus.

Worst 8 hours of my life. If I was capable of hanging myself at that time then I certainly would have.

Just get in the shower and knock yourself out until you've finished exploding everywhere.
 
why do people feel the need to give an update on what is happening to them randomly for facts that no one cares about?

nothing against you OP, just wondering.

Recent small 'outbreak'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11905848

Nasty stuff. Not the case of doing an 'off bowel movement' if you get it as bad as I had it you want to be within 5 meters of a bathroom. Anything you drink will come straight back out, quite forcefully too. Seemed like my body was just expelling every fluid, north and south ends.

Was 7lbs lighter after an 8 hour battle with the sink and toilet bowl.

Couldn't think of a worse time to get it.
 
bad luck indeed , your not on the warwick biomed course are you, going to see my daughter in coventry tomorrow ,hope nothings going around!
