OK. Now I know. The 24-hour bug going around lasts less than 24 hours. It’s the recovery that takes a while. After the worst gastrointestinal symptoms (you know which ones I mean) left, the weakness and fatigue seems to stay around for a while. After 6 hours of ‘the bad stuff’, I have now had almost 3 days of no appetite and the resulting weakness from lack of calories. This is despite 2 liters of IV fluids. I’m not sure I really want to eat.
To make matters worse, I have been on-call for the past 2 days. Having to take care of people (some who are not as sick as you are) creates a bit of a challenge.  But I really think the worst part of it is having to feed the caffeine addiction without worsening the GI symptoms. Maybe it’s time to wean off the caffeine.
