  So yeah fun fact if you need the impetus: “Stomach flu” is how my burkitt’s lymphoma manifested.

  Agree with others, that’s not a normal bug. Food poisoning is usually 24hrs max, gastro can be up to 2 days, max 3 if it’s really bad. Not being able to sleep for more than a few hours isn’t good. This probably needs a doctors visit.

  Have you been to a doctor? That’s a long time for a standard bug. The last person I know who had that sort of ongoing issue had picked up a nasty parasite in Bali.

    Not to a GP yet but will next week if things don’t change. It’s a bugger of a bug.

      If it’s been going this long you really should go now. Most stomach bugs don’t last more than about 24 hours, this really does sound like something more serious. The longer whatever it is has to establish the harder it is to get rid of and you could be turning a minor problem into something major.

      Google search of multiple places say you should seek medical attention if symptoms go longer than 3 days, you are well past that already. I know it’s great having your username be so appropriate, but it’s not worth risking your health just for that.

      I think you got your mother’s stubborness in regards to medical care.

  I had that a few weeks ago. I just stopped eating in the afternoon so there would be nothing to pass at night. Stay stocked on the hydralite, that really caught me out
