Mild argh.

I have a stomach virus. I've had it since Friday.

I went to the doctor this morning and was told that I was the fourth stomach virus already that day. Apparently it's been going around. There's no treatment, of course; it's a virus. I just have to let it run its course.

The good news: As long as I can continue not to let myself get dehydrated, there's no risk to the pregnancy.

The bad news: No symptom-relieving medications are considered safe for pregnancy. Also, the recommended as-close-to-nothing-as-possible diet dramatically worsens my morning sickness. Simple carbohydrates, quickly digested = empty stomach at the mercy of hormones.

It had better clear up before Worldcon, is all I have to say.

i can vouch for this, because i had norwalk the week after she did and called her up, horrified, and made her swear to me that norwalk was *nothing* like morning sickness, or else i was going to go get my tubes tied the instant i stopped vomiting.

(dear everyone: if she was lying to me, please leave me deluded.)
