Saturday morning I had diarrhea, Saturday evening my back & arms were aching and I was a bit trembly though my temperature seems OK.
This carried on and I spent most of Sunday & Monday in bed, very little appetite.
The aches & pains have gone and my appetite is now OK, but I've still not had a solid stool since Friday PM. Nothing explosive, just mild abdominal discomfort and a Bristol 6/7 every hour or so.
Problem. I've got a 10 hour flight to the USA on Sunday for a 4 week cycle tour.... temperature where I'm heading is high 20's to mid 30's.
I phoned my GP yesterday who said they don't bother with a stool sample unless the problem has persisted for 5 days and even if they did one I was unlikely to get the results before I go.
What's my best plan ? Bung myself up with Loperamide and hope that it clears up in the USA ?
