    I think it's been going around, I've heard of other families who are afflicted. Wife was sick Sat-Mon, toddler was a vomit machine all day yesterday, and it is my turn today. :( :(

    Not familiar with the stomach flu. I havent seen any sick people around here at all though now that I think of it. Maybe the germs know to stay away from ROC. Hope you and the family feel better soon.

    Does it feel like you have food poisoning? Because I caught something on Monday. I threw up every hour or so for about 10 hours.

    I thought it was food poisoning, but now i'm not sure. Everything I ate that day at least someone else in my family ate, but no one else got sick. So maybe it was the stomache flu?

    I got up Sunday with the world's most insane headache and threw up several times (one of them while on a commercial flight). Lemme tell you, it's NO FUN being away from home in a strange place, throwing up each time you drink a glass of water.

    I didn't actually FEEL sick, though. I got home, slept for a little while and then was fine and have been since. My entire body was aching for a few days afterward (from all the heaving).

    Weird.

    I had a serious stomach flu my freshman year. I remember it hit me at track and I went behind the football shed and puked my brains out. Then after that went home and threw up until I couldnt throw up anymore. But my body still tried to throw up. Ugh, dry heaves are no fun. IIRC i threw up over 30 times in a span of 3 days. Hope everyone here who has it gets better :(

    I had something right after new years but got over it rather quickly. for those that are suffering from the flu, I offer my uncle's sure fire flu cure concoction.

    2 tbs Honey
    4 oz Apple juice
    2 oz Pineapple juice

    ****IMPORTANT*****
    Mix these sweet items together first!

    After mixing add the following:

    1 tbs Habenero Cayenne Pepper
    2 tbs olive oil
    3 Garlic cloves
    2 tbs Apple cider vinegar
    The juice of three limes

    Combine all ingredients in blender.
    Drink a portion, gargle some before swallowing. This makes about an 8 oz drink.

    Say what you want, I've heard it all before but it works for me & the people I've given it to. It doesn't taste great but some things that are good for you have a drawback anyway. The cayenne pepper will help sweat it out & clear your system, but if you not used to it. IT WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION.

    Good luck

    YES! Worst headache I've experienced. I was actually sick on a saturday, but then sunday I had a killer headache that lasted from like when I woke up till about 8 o'clock at night. Pain killers did nothing.

    My mom said it could of been from dehydration after having the flu. So I drank lots of water and it EVENTUALLY went away.
