Driving home from work around 3.30 Wednesday I started to get just slightly nauseous. No big deal, sometimes that happens. But by the time I got home I felt awful, like really really nauseous, the kind of nausea I haven’t experienced since my pregnancy days.
I told Ron I had to go lie down and he was on his own for dinner. By 5.00 I’d gone to the bathroom several times, my stomach hurt really badly, my head was pounding, muscle aches, and I had chills so bad I could barely hold the thermometer between my lips. No fever.
A short time later I barely made it to the bathroom before I vomited violently. My stomach was hurting really badly but when I took some Tylenol I just brought it right back up. From that point till the early hours of the morning I was in an out of the bathroom numerous times. At one point I had a bucket on the floor in front of me to vomit in while I was on the toilet, it was that bad. Muscles screaming, head pounding, severe chills. Still no fever.
Around 300 or 4.00am I finally fell into a fitful sleep and slept till around 10.00. I spent the day in bed, still running to the bathroom from time to time but thankfully no more vomiting though I retched a few times and thought I was going to.
All I ate yesterday was a slice of toast, a scrambled egg and a few bites of rice. This morning I have no symptoms other than feeling kind of weak, I’m sure just because of no food.
When I called my doc she said it was likely novo virus which caused gastroenteritis. Novo virus had been on the rise before Covid, declined a bunch when we all isolated and is rising sharply now that we’re all getting social again.
I never get sick. I hardly even get a cold. This was awful
and I’m just praying I haven’t given it to Ron. I stayed in the guest room but still. I have no idea where I picked it up.
