Calling fellow sufferers:
- is there a 'Day Three' stage where you feel generally well, apart from dizziness / wobbliness / weakness, until you start getting stabbing pains at random locations in torso?
or is it just me?

I was getting the dizziness and wobbliness yesterday afternoon, and also feeling very sleepy (but that's not atypical for me at present). Suspect I cleared out the initial Projectile state before you did -- just too thirsty not to keep drinking liquid, and you probably remember what effect that had!

Stabbing pains are random and intermittent -- they may just be muscles that were strained during the evacuation processes. But not fun, and very severe, and colleagues are looking concerned and steering clear. which is good.

They probably all have it by now.

In hindsight, not drinking through all the first night was probably not a good move, since it got me dehydrated, but boy, I would have done anything to avoid more nausea at that point.

I know what you mean, the nausea hurt so much! But with the thirst and the consequent headache it was so horribly like migraine and in my confused state I 'knew' that it would be worse if I didn't drink, because that's what used to happen with migraines. That I don't get any more.
