Day 3 just getting over this. The absolutely worst bug I have ever had in my life.
My eldest was sick Monday of last week. Puked for 26 hours. Did not think much of it at the time, thinking it was a normal bug. One of my younger daughters started getting sick that Friday (puked on the floor). I stayed home with her, she did not puke after that but had bouts of diarrhea all weekend- Myself and my youngest daughter started getting sick that night around 10:00PM
Started with Diarrhea and quickly progress to vomiting too. My youngest was fine after that puke session, she would get upset over the abdomen cramps which is completely understandable however my nightmare was just beginning.
Every 30 minutes it was puking and diarrhea for 8 hours straight. Relentless to the point were I was seeing doubles and lost my hearing for a bit. I would drink 500ml of electrolyte drink and 500ml of water each time. Pain was brutal along with those stomach cramps. I lost about 8 pounds - did not puke the next day only diarrhea. Then at midnight started puking again until 2 AM. Was able to east the next day but not without feeling like absolutely shit and having to force feed myself.
Curled up on the couch all weekend long. Day 3 a bit of diarrhea - Had a smoothie this morning for breakfast and croissant for lunch feel absolutely hungover. Just want this to stop.
Be safe clean your hands

My family is going through this right now. It is actually the most terrible thing I have ever encountered. My two youngest handled it well.
Im dying from both ends every 30 minutes
