For the third time in the last 2 weeks, I have had the stomach bug. I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 4 pounds since Saturday. That is good for my weight loss goal, but I would like to be able to eat something and keep it down! I called the doctor and he said because of my weak immune system, my body is just not able to get rid of the virus.
So, instead of having the 24 hour bug, as most people around me have had, I’ve had it over and over. Lucky me!
I am positive tomorrow I’ll be able to eat! (Cross your fingers for me though! Please!)

ugh!!! I hate the stomach bug! Every time I catch it, I have it for 4 or 5 days at least – I had no idea it was only supposed to last 24 hours in most cases.
I always end up in the hospital for IVs because I get so dehydrated I start fainting.
I had it 3 or 4 times last year – and my family usually doesn’t catch it. *sighing*

Ah yes – another wonderful side effect of CFIDS – where most people are only sick for 24 hours with this stuff, we get it over and over. Everyone in my family only had it for 24 hours. My son was actually only sick about 1/2 a day (which I am very grateful for!).
