    That probably explains why my wife had what she insisted was just food poisoning last week, after she puked about 5 times in a row one morning, and refused to let me take her to the clinic.

      To be fair, you shouldn’t go to the clinic for norovirus. Just stay home and drink water/Gatorade when you can so you dont infect anyone else.

        That’s true, but don’t let yourself become extremely dehydrated. My sister-in-law got norovirus last year. She was delirious, confused, and exhausted from lack of sleep and water since she couldn’t keep anything down. She had to be dragged to the hospital by my mother-in-law. She was admitted, given lots of fluids, and stayed a day or two until she stabilized.

      I think so yeah. It’s awful, had in in the early 2000s and spent hours in the bathroom.

          We kept National Geographic’s and Scientific American in the John.

          I’ve not had noro, but have had gastroenteritis multiple times recently and at no point was I in a state to read.

          Have to say, very glad my bathtub is next to the toilet!
