Thanks very much for all your messages folks. I've been in bed most of the day, still not feeling too good. The sickness has calmed down... but I've not eaten anything so that's probably why. I've been taking paracetamol throughout the day and sipping on water. I've also had a little fruit juice, which I've managed to keep down.
I rang my GP and spoke to the receptionist first thing who said that the GP did not do home visits at all, apart from in 'exceptional cases like with the elderly'. She said I should speak to the GP between 11-11.30am if I wanted her to come out. I spoke to her and explained my symptoms and said I was a little woozy and unsure on my feet so I didn't feel it right to leave the house, especially in the rain. She wouldn't come out and said it was 'probably just winter vomiting' and that I should keep warm, give my stomach a rest, sleep as much as possible and take paracetamol. She also recommended flat Coke or 7UP.
So thanks very much for all your advice last night... it's really appreciated. Make sure you're all washing your hands and stuff - there's a few people off work at the moment and whatever this bug is... it's really horrible! Much worse than anything I've had before.
Thanks again,
Ste
