Thankfully I was only confined to bed for a day but still shitting about 15 times a day and now accompanied by bastarding stomach cramps. Well the stomach cramps finally subsided after eight days. I'd sent a shite sample to the doctors and they've called me back to tell me that I had e.coli which was then followed up by two hours on the phone to public health. I hadn't realised it was so serious but google tells me that it has a 17% mortality rate and nearly half of the cases in the UK end up hospitalised. Basically if I weren't such a medical marvel and beat it with Lucozade Sport alone I wouldn't be here and you're all blessed to still have my presence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42030 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Nice one, pleased to hear you're sorted. I had a similar experience 10 years or so ago. Was ill as fuck for a week, had to send a sample in and had some parasite. Public health wanted to know what restaurants I'd eaten at, etc. Similar stories, except I think mine had a 97% mortality rate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coli canbe horrific and it will probably take you longer to fully recover. And drinking Lucosade when you have a bacterial stomach bug isn't the best thing to do. The bacteria think "Fuck me, wahay, let's get stuck into all this lovely glucose and multiply like fuck". Next stage sepsis. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 29211 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Hmmmm, in that case the cocktails I was drinking for 12 hours a day probably didn't help much either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19147 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 So today I should have been racing. Yesterday got up went to sign on and met a mate for a coffee. Walking home and then the lights went out again. Another seizure. I saw the consultant about a month ago and he's happy it's nothing sinister just my brain changing as I age and it should settle down. I'm more pissed my wife was at Silverstone this weekend. I dropped her a line to tell her what happened and the mad bastard came home! I told her she didn't have to and I would have stayed at my bro in law for the night. Anyways feel fine today just tired and pissed I missed racing 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was with some saucy minx earlier who was right kinky, kept calling me Callum for some reason. Things start getting hot and heavy and next thing she gets a phone call then turns round to me and says “Urrrr nurrrr, I'll have to gurrrr hurrrrm. Thick 'ead's ad anuther wobbleh!". So I’m left here with three inches of solid steel and blue balls. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the consultant is properly qualified and all but it's just natural aging and it should settle down sounds like something a car dealer would say when they can't explain why your engine cut off mid drive.

How many times has it happened? I the last 18 months I've had 5 seizures. I get an aura when it's going to happen so I know. The one I had on Saturday the aura was mild so didn't think it was going to be a full seizure. I spoke to someone who stopped with me today and they said I was out for about 30s so that's a mild one. So hopefully the up in meds again sorts it. Still feeling a little tired today but that could be the upping of the meds also. We're in the lakes for a few days now anyways. Feet up and chilling the order of the day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
