This is the weirdest case of tummy flu ever.
I went to a party on saturday night. Went to go see Harry Potter, ate some popcorn and candy. Nothing new.

Sunday night, I feel awful. At about midnight, I rush into the bathroom, puking my guts out.

Monday, I'm throwing up all day.

Today, I've thrown up twice.

I don't have a fever, but I am shivering, and I have cramps.

Friggin' weird.

2. There's No Such Thing as a Stomach Flu
The human stomach cannot get the flu. You can get a flu that makes you throw up but it's not the stomach in particular that is housing the flu.

You might have a flu, food poisening, nervous condition, food allergy, intestinal disease, cancer (yeehaw) etc...but, if you get a fever, feel pain or weakness in the extremities or anything else that makes you think you have serious problems, call a doctor or go to the E-Room.

That sucks. I hope you feel better soon!

4. I might have food poisoning.
I don't think it's anything serious.

Thanks for the advice!

6. Nonsense.
Stop with the cancer, intestinal disease (WTF?) food poisoning (usually comes on fast and leaves fast) scare talk.

I'm betting we have all experienced the stomach flu at some point in our lives.

Best advice is to phone your doctor, rest up and take care of yourself.

I wish you well.

3. Sounds like you caught it at the theater.
Another of my 1001 reasons to rent.

5. I only see films that need to be seen on the bigscreen.
Woah. Rhyming.

Anyhoo, back to the point.

I really only see films like Howls Moving Castle and LOTR and Star Wars on the big screen.

7. at least it's not polio!
Some days, that's the only way I can get myself outta bed, for example:

"Today is going to suck, but at least I'm not gettin' polio!"
