Hello Monkey...could just be the flu. There's some bad stuff this year in the flu bugs. But five days seems a bit long. I'd try a different doctor, never hurts to get a second opinion...  |

I have to agree with King. My husband had this stuff. He's a strong man, but this stuff knocked him on his butt. Fever can cause you to dehydrate at times. I hope he get's to feeling better.  |

When this happened to me, I too didnt have that much diarrhea, but headach and abdominal pain. Mine was block bowel, then it would un kink and the pain and fever would come back.
The only other time besides the flu that this happened was when I had appendicitis.  |

Thanks everyone... I am sorry I didn't stay to answer you guys, but I've been taking care of Stan. His temp rose to 102.3 so I had to give him tylenol, and make sure he kept a cold rag on his head. I am going to get a second opinion, thanks for not being well, you know, just that I am too overly concerned. It's just wierd that this has lasted so long...  If you can, keep him in your prayers tonight. I will be taking him to another doctor tommorrow. Thanks and God Bless, Love,  |

could it be something he has eaten... it could be the norwalk what is going around(the thing what people on cruises are getting alot) it sounds almost like norwalk... you could see if he could get some anti-biotics that might help and keep him on the water...  |

I had the flu where my tummy just cramped!! Fever and tummy pains (sharp!!). That was a couple of weeks ago. Then last week, I got this stupid cold. I could hardly talk Mon and Tues and ran a fever with that. One of those days, I could hardly move because my tummy again, went to cramping really bad. Besides a few sniffles and my ears popping today... I'm fine. My hubby had some antibiotic left so I just robbed him and I think that's what made me get over mine quicker. Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I got a kink (it was like NO kink I ever had!) in the right side of my neck that traveled to my right shoulder bone and under my collar bone. It was the weirdest and most painful thing I have ever experienced!! I hope he gets to feeling better soon!! My hubby had his for almost 4 weeks and my aunt still has hers... it's been a little over 8 weeks for her. Big Hugs!  |

You need to talk to ICU Nurse, Shadow Ghost or Dumb Blonde. They're all nurses. I hope he's feeling better soon.  |

Sounds like the little Monkey has things pretty well under control. Best of luck to both of you.  |
