I couldn't keep Gatorade down even if I weren't sick. That stuff is obnoxious. What about Pedialite?

My husband has been battling something intestinal since end of first week in September.

I hope you fee better soon, Madelaine.

We have had similar issues passing around several hospitals in the area some are taking almost 3 weeks to get over it. Flu shots were given close to the same time and has not helped anyone. Take care

Try Green tea w/LOCAL honey. Also include broth, not soup, broth. Healing the gut from the inside, naturally.

It may just be coincidence, but my snowbird neighbor got back a week ago and they are from PA and, of course, we did the kisseypoo thing ......................


Oh boy, it sounds like the bug traveled south! If it's what our son had, you should be on the rebound soon.

Take care!

Have you seen your Dr. or at least talked with him about your illness?

I strongly urge you to see your doctor tomorrow or go to Urgent Care. You need labwork done to check your electrolytes, esp potassium which can impact your heart. Good luck and so sorry you feel bad.

if you play golf avoid shaking hands and bump fist.

2 years ago the Christmas flu was running (flying) through the Villages.

I missed it until January that "24 hr" flu lasted weeks.

it's amazing how the 'common' flu can mutate!

nope, no intestinal bug specific to the villages is going around...only a 'virus' that seems to trigger bizarre sexual behavior :wave:

Took me 7 days Gracie ............ lost 6 1/2 lbs, most of which I have found again! It gave me some really weird "things" when it was leaving, got pain in my ear, pain in my sinuses ........... Now I find out it is all over TV, either in the form of a miserable cold, or as I had it in the intestines.

Thanks for asking ...................

Anything that floats around like this is called generically "Village Crud".

Futurevillager2013 10-08-2014 08:31 PM

I have been sick since last weekend this is about the 10th day and I finally feel better.
When I get sick it usually attacks my stomach. This is the worst since I moved here a year ago. I needed to eat very bland for about three days felt tired and awful, I had no energy and was achy. I seem to finally be better. Today I actually had a hamburger I made. I still don't feel comfortable eating out yet. But I'm much better than last week.
