Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Flu or something else? Advice please!

Hi guys,

I am just looking for some advice.. I have been feeling really, really sick lately and I just don't know what it is or what to do.. and I am getting stressed because of sick days at work.
For about a week and a half, I have been really ill. At first, I was really pukey and stuff and I thought maybe I had food poisoning. Then it carried on, so I thought not. I have been super exhausted, my whole body feels like lead and is really achy and sore. For a couple of days last week I had a headache and a sore throat, and ran a fever. I've had bad stomach cramps and bloating, and worse D than I've had in a while that seems to come out of nowhere.
The nausea and bloating and the just plain exhaustion just won't go away.
I went to the doctor last week just to get a note, and she figured it was a stomach bug but it is just hanging on.. I missed four days last week and went home early today (and if we leave early, even if it's just half an hour early it counts as a sick day for the whole day).
I have to go to work tomorrow, then I am off on Wednesday. I just don't know what else I can do.. I am taking gravol to take the edge off, but it's not really cutting it.

Any advice on what it is and what I can do to at least be able to get through the day at work without feeling like I am going to face plant into my keyboard from exhaustion?

Thanks guys!
Steph
