Sicked
I am quite foreseeing to spend only 1 day in the mountain. Today I have fever and stuffed stomach, sore muscle and general weakness. I was thinking whether I had eaten too much beef steak last night after skiing. I had 2 and a half pieces of roast beef as big as 1 feet long... The beef was awesome.. But I forgot I use to have stuff stomach and fever-like symptoms if I eat too much of protein at a time. I look up wikipedia and my symptoms quite match those of Norovirus infection, except that I don't have diarrhea or abdominal pain.
Sign.. my fever was gone after sleeping through the morning and eating a banana and a few dried plums. But then I wanted to eat more and ate a cup of yogurt. That was a mistake.. My stomach is still unable to handle so much of milk protein... and I am having fever and stuffed stomach again...
The good news is the disease is self-limiting and only lethal to children and elderlies and immunologically compromised people. I think I do not fall into any of these categories yet. I hope miso soap and warm water can make me heal faster. Even at home I was cold all day and only feel warm enough after I had put on my down jacket zipped.
