Yesterday my husband came down with an illness VERY abruptly. He left for work as usual at 7am, running for three miles. He has a great run, felt fine before, during, and afterward. At 10am he took a walk to the grocery store, picked up some sliced ham and cheese, went back to work, and ate it. Half an hour after eating the ham, about 11am, he suddenly felt really queasy. Around noon he called me to come get him, and by 12:30pm he was vomiting A LOT and having severe diarrhea.
He vomited and had diarrhea pretty much constantly for five hours. Poor guy! He felt awful and nauseated, and generally icky. By 6pm the vomiting stopped, but he still felt awful. He had a fever, but not a super high.
He woke up this morning feeling a little better and went out and got breakfast while I was asleep.
(Um... what?) By the time he got home he was feeling horrid again, though he didn't vomit. All day he has had an achy stomach, has been fevery, and now he has broken out in a strange sunburn-like rash all over his trunk, arms, and upper legs. It feels hot, and he says it is a mix of itchy and painful, but mostly painful.
Now, until this rash presented I was thinking it was food poisoning, either caused by the ham or something else. Now that the rash is here I am not so sure. And just now my daughter started complaining that her stomach hurts and that she feels like she might throw up.
Any idea of what this might be? There are no runny noses, coughs, sore throats, or any cold symptoms. And it came out of nowhere....bam...super fast.
