During our stay at, 3 of the 4 people in my party experienced diarrhea to varying degrees lasting about 3 days. On the flight home from DR, I became violently ill mid-flight and began vomiting and having diarrhea. By the time the flight landed, I was so weak from dehydration and strain that I could not walk and had to be put in a wheelchair to make it through customs. I could not keep anything down (water, Gatorade, ginger ale), and was becoming more dehydrated every time I was sick. I went to the hospital when we got home from the airport and our families saw how pale and weak I was. The ER gave me an IV with saline and anti-nausea medication so I could begin to re-hydrate. They monitored me and did some bloodwork and said that whatever I had must be viral because no bacteria was showing up in my bloodwork. After being discharged, I went home. The next morning, I felt like I was going to die. My fever was 104 most of the second day & my body and head was so achy that I could not even open my eyes. It was the most awful feeling I have ever experienced. A few days later, my wife began to experience the same symptoms as me, but milder. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Dehydration, Other, Weakness
