I don't post as much in the summer, because honestly, my emet doesn't act up as much. But now that Noro is going around hardcore in my region, I find myself coming back to IES for the support :)

My FB feed has been blowing up the past two weeks with people sick with this sv* going around. And it's not your run-of-the-mill 24-hour bug. Oh no. It's fever, body aches, constant v* and explosive...

I think it's going around here as well. Lots of people on my FB are very ill. Spoke with a woman in church yesterday and asked how her mother (who's in a nursing home) was doing. She said, "not...

Hey there! Just now seeing this post. How are you doing now? Not trying to get personal, but is it time for your monthly? I get very dizzy and n* right before. Is the turkey sandwich the only thing...
