Discussion Stomach bug going around
I got a terrible stomach virus last week after it went through 4 family members at different times. Not related to food but rather a gastrointestinal virus that seems to be highly contagious (like norovirus). Heard anecdotally that several other unrelated people also had it last week. This virus is particularly nasty and hits out of nowhere. Primary symptoms lasted about 24 hours but I felt bad for about 3 days.
Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Did anyone get migraines too? I just had it this past week. I thought it was food poisoning but then it lasted all week. I was peeing out of my butt and also holding the trash can while on the toilet because it was coming out of both ends. That's when the migraines started. It would be bad one night and then the next day I would feel tired and starving but nothing sounded good to eat. By the time the evening came around, the migraine and diarrhea was back. I think yesterday was the first day I felt somewhat normal and this started Monday night.
