Is this the bonk? Or just a virus or something?

Sounds like a bug to me...

A bonk seems to carry with it some emotional symptoms as well - weepy or angry or tempermental (like, I'm-gonna-throw-the-bike-into-the-ravine tempermental) mixed with a general lassitude.

You know what's funny about us healthy bicycle gals? When we get sick, it's like, we get personally offended. Like, How dare you invade my body? I take very good care of me! Get the hell outa here!

Yep, a virus it was, or possibly food poisoning (though not as bad as food poisoning I've had in the past).

Worst nausea I've ever had, felt like a whole tribe of watermelons was trying to force its way up out of my stomach, plus a screaming headache. You're right, indigo, I do take it personally when I get sick

Much better today (just ate my first solid food ), thanks.


ETA:

the bonk symptoms you describe sound like a combination of what I get with dehydration (nausea and diarrhea that will last as many days as it takes for me to figure it out and slam three or four liters of sports drink because I can't absorb plain water) and hypoglycemia (weepy, shaky, snippy, unable to make even the simplest decision). So if I get it I'll know

and hypoglycemia (weepy, shaky, snippy, unable to make even the simplest decision).

Oooh, baby, do I know that one!
