I never knew this was a thing. I always had distinctly one or the other. But a few months ago I experienced this exact feeling for the first time and chose the same route as Clonehomer. Frankly I was pretty happy that I was given a choice.

The thing that really sucks though about vomiting and bad diarrhea is that you can rarely get away with just one trip to the bathroom. And then what do you do if it's like 1am? Do you go to bed or just hang out in the bathroom?

That's easy you sleep curled up in a ball on the cold tile of the bathroom

But having diarrhea while also having to vomit, it far from fun. You gotta pick which end takes priority.

I think it’s always diarrhea. You can puke in a bucket lol

This is the way.

I was at a business once and there were no pails. It was a lot of turning around and a lot of flushing. Worst part was it was my hot hair dressers. I’m sure it wasn’t impressive that I kinda hammered her bathroom

I would take the flu (influenza) over puking or even a bad sore throat/man cold. Fevers have never bothered me a ton, just take some Tylenol or Advil and ride the hot/cold roller coster.

Lucky for me, I have the gene for being immune/resistant to norovirus. I hate puking.

Sorry you're sick, Allthetuna, but your thread cleaned up nice.

Husband slept on the bathroom floor til 4am.

Sore throats are my number one most hated.

Not sure how to respond without insulting Mrs. Althetuna.

Sometimes you just have to grab a wastebasket and let fly from both ends. Had a nasty bout of food poisoning in 2009 that brought me to that place.

Even worse was having a roommate in the same situation in a single bath apartment. Negotiating a rotation was tricky.

 

[BCClone]

I think I got some bad water (Nebraska) when I was blowing from both ends. Half a bottle of Yukon Jack fixed that after 4 days of hell.

I had a bad case of influenza in my 20s. Never again. I get the flu shot religiously now. I spent every waking moment for over a week wanting to die.

 

[AuH2O]

I haven’t puked from non alcohol related illness since I was 8. My symptoms for flu are usually fever and chills, which frankly I kind of enjoy as long as I can go to bed.

I get the big D, which isn’t fun, but it’s better than vomiting.

Daughter and I got influenza A right around Thanksgiving. I’ve lived through some crap but nothing compared to that. As you said it was a week of either sleeping or wishing you were asleep or dead. That is a whole other level of feeling like hell!!

Only been bipolar a couple of times.

A few years ago I caught a stomach bug that made me vomit 8 times in 24 hours, plus wicked poops. The only good thing about it is that you can lay around in bed all day without feeling like a lazy piece of ****.

There is one more good thing. Great weight loss diet.
