Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

I am simultaneously sick to my stomach and ravenously hungry. This is not fair. I'm pretty sure that if I eat anything I will feel even sicker, but I'm STARVING.

Is there some kind of stomach bug going around, or do I have low-grade food poisoning?

There are several bugs going around. I had the hungry/eat/puke version with a terrible sore spot where my tonsils would be. Not too much fever. When I had mostly recovered I overdid stuff and got a respiratory version. No stomach problems, throat only sore by the glands, but more fever and chills with sinus problems and lung congestion. Corwin's doctor doesn't do testing, but from the severity of his symtoms (and the fact that two of the guys he worked with in a small room in Iowa did test positive) they told him they thought it was H1N1. Fortunately, Dee and the kids already have a flu vacine and seem to have managed not to catch it from him. Toni was terribly sick for a week. Aliera was mildly ill for a few days. And my housemate Dave is sick with a stomach bug. I'd bet on a stomach bug.

Yikes! I hope your whole family is back to health again.

This is why Mrs. Grass's Chicken Noodle Soup was invented. Are you home? I have a spare box.

Nah, I'm at work. I'm not really sick enough to stay home, just feeling queasy. Thanks for the thought, though.

This came on yesterday afternoon and I have eaten very little since then. Had tea and a couple of those tasteless rusk toast thingies for breakfast, which seemed to be relatively harmless. I think I'm feeling a little better, but not great. I brought an egg salad sandwich for lunch, figuring that was pretty bland. I finally gave in to hunger pangs and ate it, and now I feel slightly crampy again. This is probably a good time for a healthy fast. *sigh*

I'm sorry to hear it! Maybe a little toast or saltine crackers with tea? Pretty much the same as rusk toast. If you have enough appetite to get it down, chicken soup.
