There's a nasty stomach virus going around where I am. It's literally taking people down for days. Over 100 people locally have been sick and some in the hospital. They thought it was food-related at first. The health dept has been here to hand out bleach wipes and hand sanitizer (I'm very much looking forward to the weekend and getting out of here!). Could be something similar for you? Apparently it's a really rough stomach 12-24 hour stomach bug.
Feel better!

Thanks bluebug. When I called my doctors office they said they hadn't 'heard' anything about it. A couple of people were in contact with me from NY actually a few weeks ago so I'm wondering if I got it from them!
I will probably call them again today and just ask again. Maybe by now enough infected people showed up. Yep, it was a 24 hour thing but it's left me feeling crappy for 10 days now
Oh how I miss my bike!

10 days is kinda long. I would be heading toward a stool sample pretty soon if I were you.

Update: Keep that hand sanitizer handy.
My friend's kid got sick the same day I did and it came back and hit him up again. So bad, he had to take the kid in and get an anti-nausea shot to get him to stop throwing up. The doctor said it was definately a virus going around and that it can take 3 days or three weeks to get rid of. Great. I called my doctor this a.m. and they finally have seen the FLOOD of patients coming in sick. I guess I was one of the first ones?!
I actually felt normal the past couple of days and rode a whopping 6.3 miles on the pavement this a.m. in 35 minutes. Oh what a lovely feeling! The only thing I noticed is that I got the clammy sweats which told me to slow down.

Thanks for this info! I got sick right after vacation (about a month ago) and only had the really bad part for about three or four days, then it seemed like every time I ate for the next three weeks I'd feel awful, nauseous and sweaty. Of course going to the doctor didn't occur to me.

They think it's the norovirus around here and camps are starting to shut down.
I keep washing my hands and bleaching down my office.
Glad you're feeling a little better TDG.

Miserable in Mammoth
Maybe it's an Eastern Sierra thing. The night before last I woke up at 2 am feeling totally nauseous. By 7 yesterday morning my body was doing its best to purge from both ends.
I had aches and a fever all day. I'm much better today, but the appetite and gut aren't quite right yet. During the day before I got sick I went on a ride and felt totally weak. I couldnt keep up with my friend whom I usually beat up the hills. Because of that I think it was a virus and not from food. I hope this malaise doesnt last 7-10 days!
