Sick Bed

[rolysmate]

So Thursday night after my run I had fish for my supper, bugger me what followed was NOT nice.

Within the hour I had a badly distended stomach and then --- well I wont go there needless to say it was not good and has continued until today when I eventually took some immodium.

Am still feeling very weak and sorry for myself and not sure when I'll be running again though it's supposed to be tomorrow

[HeadInTheClouds]

Oh noooo..!!

Get well soon and don’t go putting any extra strain on anything which might set you back further.

Patience. Xx

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to HeadInTheClouds]

It has improved my pace as I've had to be a bit sharp on my feet at times

[HeadInTheClouds in reply to rolysmate]

Haha, I bet..!! Adds a new meaning to ‘quicker runs’ 😱

[iain-strachan Graduate10 in reply to rolysmate]

It's not called "the trots" for nothing! Poor you! I absolutely hate having what my Dad used to call the Quicksh*ts!

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Huge...but gentle hug x

Maybe...wait until the day after tomorrow, just to fully recover, re-hydrate...etc... It is so important.. .because as you well know your body loses electrolytes, such as salt, during the illness and any exercise is, similarly another cause of dehydration.

So,, err on the side of caution.. we cannot have you collapsing xxx

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Hug gratefully received and advice taken on board and as I've had a nasty niggle in my quads I don't think it will do me any harm to wait and might give it a day or two and possibly leave things until Thursday

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to rolysmate]

Well done my friend... xx

[Theziggy in reply to Oldfloss]

Bit late to this but most shops sell boxes of electrolyte replacement sachets to help with cases such as yours rolysmate

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

Different kind of runs, eh? Get well soon and take it easy!

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

sprint times have improved

[Hidden]

Poor you, I know what that is like... ammonium a runner's best friend!

Rest easy and see you out there soon

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

thank you

[Langley-Loper Graduate10]

I guess "liking" your post isn't really quite right but there isn't a "poor you" button.

Instant weight loss programme?

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Langley-Loper]

yes dropped a few pounds very quickly, trouble is it soon comes back

[Rignold]

Definitely don't go out running until you are fully better and have regained some strength. Also keep an eye on how you are feeling. there are some unpleasant bugs going around, and the fish may have been a red herring (forgive the pun).

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Rignold]

you're right there are some nasty bugs doing the rounds and I have wondered BUT am fairly sure it is the fish and have been working at rehydration

[Rignold in reply to rolysmate]

Usually if fish is off enough to cause food poisoning you can tell a distance off, certainly before you eat it. At this stage the looking after yourself will be the same either way of course, but keep an eye out for further symptoms.

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

🙁. Yucky, get well soon...

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

feeling considerably better all ready thanks but think I'll give the squat challenge a miss for now lol

[Langley-Loper Graduate10 in reply to rolysmate]

I think you have done enough this week....

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to rolysmate]

I too was about to add, I reckon you'll have met all your goals there anyway!

[Hidden]

Oh no, that sounds awful. Definitely get back to normal before running as an urgent call in a run can be hideous. At least you have had some fartlek training with some super quick sprints and some extra squats too 😁

[Hidden]

Oh, no. I really hope you are better soon. X

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

thanks Flick, on the mend already

[Sandyscroll Graduate10]

Oh no, poor you. 😯 Glad you have decided to rest up for a bit. Get well soon. Xx

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Sandyscroll]

thanks Sandy

[quirkybee]

Well, I know you like running, but having the "runs" well, well, lol. Only kidding lovely, sorry to hear you've been poorly, where did you get the fish from? Can't be too careful, but hopefully after you've rehydrate, you can eat something and get your energy back 🤗👍

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to quirkybee]

getting better all ready

[misswobble Graduate10]

Fartleks and squits 😱. Er I mean squats 😁

Hope you’ll feel better soon 💪😃

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

oh yes though the fartleks were a no (to risky lol)

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Oh no??? Sending you a virtual get well hug rolysmate ...hope it doesn’t last long coz I know that will drive you crackers!! 😕

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

on the mend thanks and yes it's done my head in a little, thank goodness for the rugby

[Pm3eak Graduate10]

Gosh...that sounds grim: best wishes for a speedy return to normality.

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Pm3eak]

getting there now thanks

[Anniemurph Graduate10]

Oh no Hope you feel better soon. Rest up, rehydrate - and then back out there

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Anniemurph]

recharging batteries now

[icklegui]

ayy ay ay. All the puns have been done so I'll just leave a "get well soon" here!

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to icklegui]

thanks

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate]

Hope you are feeling better this morning and taking it gently:)x

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

yes somewhat, reenergise the old body and prepare for lift off lol

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to rolysmate]

Steady there, Tiger😊

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

supposed to run 6.5m at pace today hmmmm, think I'll eat pancakes instead

[C25KKate Graduate10]

Had similar experience with fish bought in Ikea cafe. Not at all good. Get well soon! Rest and rehydrate.

[Fishypieface Graduate10]

Get well soon and sorry you've been so poorly

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Fishypieface]

thanks Fishy xx

[Hidden]

Take it easy. The runs will go and the runs will still be there!

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Absolutely

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10]

Oh no! You poor thing, rolysmate . GI bugs are the worst, as apart from being hideous at the time, they really knock the stuffing out of you. Give yourself a few days to fully rehydrate and to get your strength back.

Do consider that it might be a more general bug rather than due to food. Once I got hideously sick after eating crayfish and put it down to that. But then about 24 hours after I started, the kids all came down with it too (they hadn't eaten the crayfish). It turned out we all had rotovirus and boy, was it grim.

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to HeleneCorsa]

Yes I'm blaming the fish but can't say for sure though thankfully no one else has been effected and I was the only one to have fish!

[HeleneCorsa Graduate10 in reply to rolysmate]

Ah, let's hope so (it would be awful for it to do the rounds).

[Hidden]

Hope you are feeling better!,😀😀

[rolysmate Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

lots now thanks, even eaten a full meal tonight
