toasted crap on toast
If you don't read Twitter, I am sick as hell. Seriously, I cannot remember when I have last felt this bad...probably the Great November Flu of 2010. Sick enough not to go to work, which for someone with a Midwestern Work Ethic™ (cheers were_duck) is pretty bad.
(I always feel guilty, like I'm lying, when I call out of work, though it ended up being all for the best, considering the amount of GI distress and sleep I had for the greater portion of today.)
Part of the problem is I can't figure out what I have... Basically, ALL THE DIARRHOEA for the last 36 hours, though not bloody. And I am fucking wiped and didn't sleep well Tuesday night, and I had some serious malaise at work yesterday.
I haven't puked at all, nor really wanted to, so I'm pretty sure it's not norovirus at all. Mom once had norovirus when I was living with her, and I didn't get it at all, and I have a B blood type, so I'm pretty sure I've got that apparent immunity.
C. diff sounds like it could be it, seeing as I've just come off antibiotics last week, except I have a flu-like headache and joint ache, which goes far more often with the viral kinds of gastroenteritis. So.
Food poisoning of some variety, maybe? It's definitely like when I had it before.
I am hoping it's viral, because then it's over and done with and I can Get On With Things.
Still not very good at present, though I've felt okay enough long enough now (4 pm) to have a shower and put some real clothes on. Tomorrow may be a wash, we shall see.
