salmonella poisoning

[Oatway is Budha]

anyone had this? not a joke isit.

 

[dgh123]

No.

 

[ArcticBlue]

No no

 

[Biscuit]

Yes.

One of the most awful things I've ever been through. I was only about 10 or something.

 

[tedebear]

No - had food poisoning (from a motorway ham sandwich) but I'm guessing its not the same as yours as there are two types?

Yep, 1991, 5 of us brought date relabled sandwiches from the news agent at the back of the old Argus building (name of the street escapes me, where the Basketmakers is/was) end result was 2 deaths and 3 of us in hospitals across Sussex. I lost 20 lbs in weight in 7 days, and ended up in intensive care for 3 days...off work for 8 weeks and still to this day anything slightly dodgy goes through quicker than I want.

Made the news, printed media etc but the worst part was the onset, came on very quickly on the train back to Seaford, on the way home from work, crapped myself, chundered and passed out between Newhaven and Seaford, came around to a conductor looking down at me giving me grief because he thought I was drunk...

Bloody hell! I had about 2 days of projectile puking and the runs but nothing like that! Blimey!

I caught it at a hotel that went on to be the main feature of 'Holidays from Hell.' Whole family had it. Terrible business.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I developed a pseudomonus infection via a chemotherapy infusion line about 4 years ago.
Two weeks in the Royal Surrey Hospt'l in Guildford including hallucination for the first two days, blood pressure "collapse" in the middle of the night, the final 8 days in isolation and collection with bateriological testing of all my my urine and feaces.
Still, preferable to watching the shambles at Vicarage Road last night.

Yes,caught it in Moscow,in a restaurant on the Arbat,ended up in a Russian hospital and being flown back to the U.K with a pile of medical notes all written in Russian.Took several weeks to recover.Wouldn`t wish it on my worst enemy - a Palarse fan? maybe..

 

[clapham_gull]

Yes according to the Doctors who took a sample.. but

I was off work for maybe 1 week and a half, possibly 2 but never ended up in hospital.

To be honest I'd always thought something like that puts you in hospital, so have have always strongly doubted it was.

In recent years - the worst thing I've had is influenza. You never call a "cold" that once you've had the real thing.

Not had salmonella, but almost died from dysentery once. Life is fragile.

Sounds like a grand night out.

yep, gastroenteritis x10, could only take about 10 steps to the downstairs toilet, and then spent 3 days passing what can only be described as rusty bike chains, swerve it if possible.
