I won't say I drank a lot of tea during my illness, but I think I defoliated all of China and India in the process.

Glad you're feeling better.
Actually, most of the time, it was decaffeinated black Lipton's tea.
Last night, I had some green tea just to shake things up.

(24,791 posts)stomach flu? Maybe that's just a generic misnomer.
Anyway - glad you are back! 👍

(66,509 posts)I had no pulmonary symptoms of any kind during my illness.
'Stomach flu' is something I talk about with my patients at least two or three times a week. I tell them there's no such thing. It can be hard to overcome life-long misconceptions.

(66,509 posts)Usually, what people call stomach flu is gastritis (nausea and vomiting) or gastroenteritis (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.)
Worried senior
(1,328 posts)in Green Bay, WI, stated there was stomach flu going around, so guess some drs. still call it the flu.

There's enough medical misinformation out there...

(112,620 posts)I'm limping around since the cat bit me on the back of my shin last week. It was only a 3/4 inch break in the skin and I thought I would be okay since it wasn't deep, but it flared up on Monday and I had a knot the size of a tennis ball so I can't put any weight on my right heel. I did go to the doctor today for antibiotics since it was oozing pus.
The cat is on double secret probation.

(112,620 posts)I have two indoor cats and two strays that I also feed. The cat that bit me needs to learn some better dining manners. Then again, he might like how I taste!

Laffy Kat
(16,391 posts)Think it was a norovirus? I got that a couple of years ago while working in a LTC center. N/V for a day and then the worst body aches of my life. Appetite took a long time to return.

(17,230 posts)... and I'm 62. Funny, my brother was just bitching about his body not working right anymore, too. Maybe we all need an oil change.
