I had the stomach flu starting around Wednesday night. By Friday, it was a mess. Literally. By Friday night, I was totally worn out and sick of sitting on the toilet so much. This was the worst stomach flu I've had in years. No s**t (pun intended!).

I finally looked up a possible cure on the Internet. I came across apple cider vinegar as a cure on two sites. Really? Vinegar? I love vinegar. I should collect the stuff from all over the world.

So I had a few tablespoons. Stomach felt a little better. That was around 9 p.m. By 10, I finally went to the store and got some Gatorade. All the fluids and electrolytes I'd lost needed help, and the Sustain I'd been drinking wasn't enough.

I still had to run to the toilet a few more miserable times, and by 12 midnight, I was weaker than ever and had to lie in bed. But, by 1 a.m., I felt a lot better. Since then, I haven't had to run to the bathroom again.

Am I cured? I don't know. But the reprieve really feels nice.
