Almost definitely TMI:
Today is apparently my day to be stricken down with the gripe. (Not la grippe, but it's dysenteric cousin. Although there's no blood in the stool... but it's been kinda hard to tell.)
It is such fun to be weak and headachey with dehydration, and mildly stomach-cramped, and shivery, and aching in unrelated muscles, and ground down under an exhaustion that fills my head and limbs with gritty sand. And utterly unable to eat anything other than plain white bread and sugared water, for fear of the consequences. Oh, and unable to concentrate enough even to watch TV: I'm half-typing this with my eyes closed, because it's that much easier only to concentrate on one thing at a time.
Fortunately, my body believes in the direction of down very firmly, which means that the worst of up has been one moment of dry heaves. But shitting water is fucking disturbing. But there is Imodium, which is apparently an opioid receptor agonist. I don't know how that works, but it seems to be working.
I had plans for today. God help me, I hate being sick.
