They aren't kidding; I have been violently ill since yesterday and I'm a frequent handwasher. I have no idea where I picked this thing up at; maybe the gym?

Get better debbyski!

Thank you Josh.

Yes, here's hoping for a quick recovery for you debbyski.

I was lucky last winter, didn't pick up anything bad. And it's been spring here in New York for the last 2 months so I haven't seen a lot going around.

debbyski, my heart goes out to you. My household had this before Christmas. I am a compulsive hand washer too. Esp. with a little one in the house. I think this thing was pretty widespread in the US. Half the people I know caught this.

I took bleach to the bathrooms and sprayed Lysol on every door handle, drawer pull, telephone, tv remote, everything I could think of. Still, my husband managed to catch it a week after my daughter and I did.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Or more.

I had this just before Christmas. I think i picked it up in Connecticut. It was absolutely horrid, and I got off pretty easy.

Get better debbyski!

Thanks everyone; I'm hoping poor hubby isn't doomed. My daughter told me half the university has it. Mousie, only a woman can think this; I was wondering how much weight I've lost.

Opps,
Spoke too soon. Hubby just got up sick. Thank God he stocked the shelves earlier.

lol. Well, maybe not only a woman... I was hoping I shed some of the holiday weight-gain myself.

oh my! I hope all you guys get better soon. Knock on wood (how 'bout a whole forest), my family and I have avoided getting sick (don't know if that comes from being cloistered in a home-school ***wink***), but I know it sucks (especially when I have to baby the husband). The down-side of losing weight on the stomach-flu diet is that almost as soon as you get better, all the eating to keep up your energy helps to pack the pounds back on! Ugh...no, double that!

Get well soon, debbyski!
