In bed with Norovirus. Suggest me a decent Sifi movie

I suppose it depends on what stage of the experience you are going through.

The "Heaving every 20 seconds for 6 hours" part.

The "World falling out of your Bottom for another 6 hours" part

Or the "Eye of the Storm" part of relative calm that gives you the chance of a couple of hours sleep between stage #1 and stage #3

(If you have not gone through this before. Make sure that before you get to #3, you stuff some bog paper down the back of your Y-Fronts cos you will not get to the Bog in time when it starts!)

Personally, I am amazed that you have the energy to actually watch anything. When I got Norovirus I just spent 24 Hrs puking, ******** and trying to get a little sleep. And then the next 24 hours trying to recover from the sheer exhaustion (it actually took a week really)

I would suggest something fairly light weight and amusing rather than heavy duty Sci-Fi.

Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers in the 25th century

Or Lexx (Currently on Amazon Prime TV)

(Yes Lexx, Definitely! :p )

Yes I totally feel for you. Last night was the part where is was sick about 20 times while also having the same issue at the other end..... I was curled up in a ball on the cold tiles with cold sweats.... At this point I was practically begging for the pain to stop. I was also heavily dehydrated and any water I took on wouldn't stay down...
I've not now puked in a few hours so I feel like I'm on the up. Apart from the stomach cramps and headaches I'm pretty sure I'll be ok within 24Hrs. I'm not really one to hang around when being sick, I'm more than happy to use my fingers to empty my stomach out rather than waiting for the enviable ...

Annihilation is a pretty good movie so far

The two things that got me about the experience was

#1) After I had puked for the Googleth time and had nothing left to give and feeling like my head was going to explode. I was lying there being genuinely concerned that this is the time I am going to find out if I have an un-diagnosed Brain Anurisim or heart condition because, if I did, this might actually kill me!:eek:

#2) The other thing that shocked me was the sheer speed of the onset. I went from;

Fine>Feeling a bit odd>completely incapacitated with Uncontrollable Puking.

In no more than 20-30 seconds!

If I had been driving on a Motorway, I would not have had time to pull over to the side of the road and stop safely.

It was really that fast.

Fortunately I had "Just" got home before it struck me. How I would have managed had I still been out and about I really do not know! :eek:

The part of thinking I might die is relatable as well as the speed. I went from feeling fine after getting in from work to how has this happened to me? Within an hour. I've not been sick today and managed to eat a few dry crackers which when ground down to a paste in your mouth are quite nice actually.

Some great other suggestions incase I'm off tomorrow peeps
