Has anyone ever had a VIRAL Gastroenteritis Virus?

[Paris13]

Rotavirus, adenovirus, and astrovirus most often infect infants and young children, but they can also infect adults. Viruses may cause viral gastroenteritis any time of the year. In the United States, norovirus, rotavirus, and astrovirus are more likely to cause infections in the winter. My Sister has One now. I Never had anything but a 24 hour Stomach bug. This comes from Contaminated Foods or Water or Even Touching something Germy and then Going in your Mouth, Maybe even your Pet Licking your face or even not washing your hands after bathroom use, etc. xxooxxoo

[dustybiker2]

Yes. Norovirus from my first taekwondo studio. Bloody awful. Found out two things... they only cleaned the place before testing (every three months- never went back after that) and hand sanitizer does not kill norovirus. So what I thought was right by soaking my hands and feet with hand sanitizer before leaving, effectively did nothing to this beast. Should have washed my hands in the bathroom after each class. It was like having severe food poisoning that took three weeks to stop. Also highly contagious. Warned everyone in the home would catch it. I separated myself (own bathroom and bed) and cleaned everything I touched throughout. Nobody caught it.

[Paris13]

Wow!!! Hope you are Okay. xx

[TommyMountainFigure]

Me too @dustybiker2 >:D<

[dustybiker2]

@Paris13 Yes. It was rough tho. Mostly worried about my elderly mother I was looking after at the time

@TommyMountainFigure Awe. Not fun, eh? 😝

[TommyMountainFigure]

Oops sorry Db , I meant me too, as in I hope you're Ok @dustybiker2

[dustybiker2]

lol Gotcha
It's actually a common virus on cruise ships and why I will never cruise

[TommyMountainFigure]

@dustybiker2 That and being surrounded by water! The things that happen at sea huh? lol

[dustybiker2]

You don't like water? I actually wanted to join the coast guard.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I love swimming, but the thought of being on a boat in the middle of an ocean? I know people say you forget all about it when you're on board.. But for me? No I hate the whole idea of it!

[dustybiker2]

Fair enough.

[dustybiker2]

Whats worse? A helicopter with issues two hours off coast

[dustybiker2]

I tried signing up for that lol

[TommyMountainFigure]

Damn. Issues? were you thinking.. I hope there's no sharks here?

[dustybiker2]

Well, helicopter and nowhere to land. That's a bad day. But the challenge is attractive. And more so helping people.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I get that.. Also I suppose if you ARE going up in a helicopter regularly, then a Coast Guard Helicopter is going to be very well maintained! Well.. Mostly!

[dustybiker2]

This is true. Salt water however is brutal. They have to power wash them at least once a day.

[menina]

No, fortunately I've never had a gastroenteritis virus. 🙏🏾

[Paris13]

Me either. xx

[menina]

That's good.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Spent a week in the hospital with norovirus once. Sucked royally except all the offers to help me shower. I'm like I can stand and walk just fine, have no feelings of dizziness or weakness so that seems excessive, but thanks though.

[Paris13]

Wow, Booob. xx

[Massageman]

Had some sort of 48-hour thing a few months ago. My body's built-in cleansing system took care of it.

[Paris13]

Glad you Okay. xx

[Massageman]

God knew how make human bodies, I guess.

[Insecure2]

Three weeks ago I had something like an infection, IT's symptoms were similar to a flu, but lasted only 1 full day. Still, I felt terrible, I couldn't even move and I slept the whole day.

[Paris13]

Hope you are Okay. xx

[Insecure2]

Yes, I'm all better now. Thanks for your concern.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have had a few bad GI episodes after a meal at a restaurant but notng that required medical attention that would have resulted in a diagnosis.

[Paris13]

Wow, My Sister Had to Go to The Emergency. xx

[TommyMountainFigure]

No I haven't Paris, but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to washing hands etc.

[Paris13]

I Even Wear Gloves Out, Tommy. lolxx

[TommyMountainFigure]

I don't blame you Paris. You cannot be too clever with so much bad bacteria out there >:D<

[TommyMountainFigure]

I hope your sister gets well soon >:D< @Paris13

[Sharkstealth]

The only thing I ever had even close to that was hand foot and mouth disease that I acquired from holding my nephew. Very rare to get as an adult but somehow I did.

[Paris13]

Can Be Anything Even with a Dogggg. xx

[Med_guy1978]

Never heard of it but we are always prone to bacteria, I guess keeping it balanced with good bacteria is the key.

[Paris13]

I Always Thought of a Stomach Bug But Have Now Learned More in Store. xx

[Med_guy1978]

Candida?

[Likes2drive]

My first born as an infant had it and died from it because they didn’t know it at the time and didn’t treat it

[Paris13]

Ohhh So Sorry, Big Guy.:((xx

[Likes2drive]

It’s ok, it was hard to talk about but she would be 25 years old now

[douride2]

I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning from bad ground beef.

[Paris13]

Wow, girl!!! xx

[EndlessVoid20]

No I haven't but my dad's friend got one when he went to South Africa about 10 years ago and still has it!

[Paris13]

Wow!!! xx

[AngryCarl]

I had a parasitic infection of the gut, but I got something from the doctor that cleared it up. I love medicine!

[Paris13]

Nah This is Viral and what You Had was probably Bacteria. lolxx

[AngryCarl]

No, this was a parasite I got from bad food. Just ignore me.

[shortster]

Not sure. Have had a few stomach bugs; but never figured out if they were viral or bacterial infections.

[Paris13]

Study Up, dear. xx

[shortster]

Unless it is severe or ongoing I don't really care what my infection is.

[justyourbasicgal]

I have had food poisoning a few times but it was usually around the holidays. It was horrible to be honest.

[Paris13]

My Goodness!!! xx

[Dongie]

Have a friend who many years ago, in the 80s, had some kinda gastro fungus stuff and it was nearly fatal. But I don't remember what they called it. He was in the hospital for a couple weeks. It took a couple months before he was back to normal.

[OddBeMe]

Is this like a tweet that earned you so much money you drank yourself sick?

[Paris13]

Um... lol!!! xx

[turk55]

We recently got sick as a family. The fever presented as a sore throat. Thank God we recovered. But we don't know if this is the virus we caught.

[NathanDavis]

probably, yes...

[Paris13]

Yikes. xx

[ArrowheadSW]

I suspect that I had norovirus once, based on symptomatology.

[exitseven]

No. i got food poisoning once. That was pretty rough.

[Paris13]

Ahhh I Bet. xx

[Anonymous]

Just left the emergency room and learned about it there. They had to hook me to iv and give me fluids. I was so sick until my veins were becoming thin

[Wiredone]

No I've never had it

[Paris13]

Me Either, dear. xx

[Wiredone]

Well that's good for both of us

[handsomelad70]

I don't know, maybe.

[Paris13]

Maybe at Your Age. lolxx

[Nifrayu]

Thankfully I have not.

[Paris13]
