Same. I was vomiting every 2-3 minutes for 18 straight hours. After it finally stopped, I was so exhausted I couldnā€™t move for 2 days.

Also had noro in college. I remember sitting on the bathroom floor with a trash can and a Gatorade. So many kids got it that they canceled class for two weeks and the nurse set up a care package delivery service with various supplies like crackers and trash bags.

I had it the week leading up to my junior year prom (this was like, a decade ago) and it was the worst. I was also so upset bc my mom was in the hospital for a stem cell transplant and I couldnā€™t visit for a while bc of it (which I understood bc she was super immunocompromised and in the special very clean immunocompromised unit but it was a bummer)!
