AimParticipantsoclwrkrinmotn and I are both sick. We’re both pretty sure it’s something foodborne, and it hit him on Saturday evening and me later that night. We’d thought he just had WAY too much beer, but even with Beveridge Place’s extraordinarily high alcohol content, getting that sick from 3 beers didn’t seem logical. Anyway, we’ve eaten all over town the 72 hours leading up to getting sick, and we’re both still ill today. (weakness, vomiting, fatigue, the “big D”, etc – typical symptoms of eating the wrong thing)
So, is anyone else having the same symptoms? If so, where/what did you eat? We’re trying to figure out what triggered it.

JenVMemberAim- sorry to hear you guys are ill. I can tell you we didn’t get sick from dinner or the beers on Saturday- and we’re both pretty sensitive to that…of course none of us had the same thing for dinner, did we? So it would be hard to rule that out.
Hope you feel better!

JoBParticipantAim…
that’s how my flu started… and then it just got more fun..
i hope for your sakes that it was food.

herongrrrlParticipantThat could be norovirus (the same thing that people sometimes get on cruise ships). It can be food-borne, is highly contagious, and suuuuucks. It can last several days, whereas eating “something bad” doesn’t usually cause symptoms to linger as long once you’ve ejected the offending substance. My profound sympathies to you. Stay hydrated!

CMPParticipantThere were some bad tomatoes causing salmonella a week or so ago; maybe both of you ate tainted ones and got sick that way? Your symptoms make my cold/sinus infection/bronchitis that morphed into laryngitis sound easy. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

guidosmomMemberAIM, sorry you are sick. This is probably unrelated but I had the same symptoms Friday, Sat, and part of Sunday. I didn’t eat out, but did have homemade pico de gallo from raw tomatoes Fri night. They were on the fine, so supposedly safe, but that’s the only thing I can think that could have caused it. I know a lot of people are sick right now. I hope you feel better. :)

ShibaguyzMemberAim, same thing happened with us early last week. Lasted three days then just left me feeling drained and weak for another couple of days.
Right now the only thing that is bugging us are our allergies… thank goodness for otk allergy meds, huh?
Get better soon!!

IrukandjiParticipantYeah, we’re in with you. Kid got it Mon/Tue and then I did starting Wed last week. Ick. Just now starting to feel self-like again.

AimParticipantWow, sounds like either some other food item we’ve all eaten is bad, or there’s a really nasty bug going around. I’m doing better (still weak, but ok) but soclwrkinmotn is still really, really sick. He still can’t keep much of anything down. No fun at all!

JoBParticipantAim.. i hope you both get much better soon.

keleesoMemberAim and soclwrkinmotn, it does sound like the flu. My co-worker had it for 5 days. It wasn’t pretty. She tried to come in to work after 3 days, but lasted only an hour.
I hope you both recover quickly and fully.
