BNL Chatter / Barenaked Advice / Question for the health care peeps

Justin and I have been really sick off and on for about two weeks now.  We've had vomiting, and all the other stuff that goes along with it.  It hasn't been two consecutive weeks, it's been like a day here and a day there.  It normally works out that one night I'll be throwing up and incapacitated, and the next he'll be in the same boat.  The weird thing is that we live with three other people and none of them are sick.  I thought at first that we were passing this virus back and forth, yet nobody else seems to be getting sick.  I'm going to talk to my doctor tomorrow, but wondered if anyone has any suggestions about what this could be.  I've lost about 15 lbs since this all started, and Justin just hates throwing up.

Food Poisoning? Soap on your dishes?

I think you should go in… a regular stomach bug is going to show up, make you miserable for a few days, then disappear.  This is an odd collection of symptoms.  Definitely sounds infectious of some sort, since you both have it.  But as to what's causing it, no clue.  Hopefully your crazy roommate isn't poisoning you.  Ugh .

Okay, you are like the third person who has said that.  I wouldn't think twice about it except that Justin is getting it, too and none of our other roommates have been sick.  We are going to replenish our food just in case.

Hate to say it…but what Jen said was the first thought that popped into my head too.

Taz Nov 13th 7:32 pm

Honestly…that was the first thing that I thought of too.  Especially since it keeps coming and going…

Glad you are gonna have it checked out!!!

I agree with the nurses here….something is rotten in Denmark.
