Is it normal to have the stomach flu for over a week? if not, what could it be?


since last Friday night, ( Friday June 27th, 2008) i've felt as if i've had the stomach flu. nauseous every day, headaches, body aches, a bit of diarrhea, and feeling tired and having no energy. i am NOT pregnant.
is this normal? or is there something wrong? i am going to the doctor's tomorrow, but i'm very curious.

yep -most viral illnesses last 3-21 days. drink lotsa fluids, eliminate milk products, take probiotics, and follow up with your doctor.

if you had a fever then it sounds like actual influenza.
that is assuming you didn't start eating something every day that you don't realize is spoiled or contaminated.

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING! where abouts do you live .. omg.. im trying to find out what it is to.. i've had it for 5 days now and it hasn't gotten any better
