| Ollie | 2 days | Bleugh - just took it easy. | details |
| LittleBit | 2 days | Stressing about lack of OMM partner caused it. That and all the other stress on me at the moment. Ice cream not as helpful as you'd think. Sleep made it a bit better. | details |

| disorienteer | 3 days | My tendency to eat weird things (e.g., a half bag of baby carrots and an apple for dinner, multiple cans of spinach, Indian food that is so spicy I know I should stop but don't) when Tom is out of town throws my digestive system for a loop. Have to also watch this as I try to lose weight and eat more IBS-inducing vegetables as a result. | details |
| Kiki | 3 days | Seems viral, no idea where from, but I like to think that NOT flying and taking it really easy on the running seems to have helped stave off something worse. Did start the day after a soaking wet 2 hour run in 40°F, but not sure of a connection. | details |

| bill_l | 3 days | details | |
| olle71 | 3 days | details | |
| Becks | 3 days | Not sure what caused it, probably just random germs from the huge amounts of kids I was teaching at the science fair. Terrible timing. Resolved by plenty of rest, vitamins and sunshine. | details |

| peggyd | 3 days | details | |
| Eliot | 3 days | details | |
| Becks | 3 days | Bizarrely, vodka and a small amount of rubbish dancing to poor electro seemed to do the trick! Rested all weekend afterwards at the First Aid Course to make double sure. | details |

| Kiki | 4 days | Mostly likely an infection (right leg?), but hard to say. Went away on its own, with rest, of course. | details |
| Becks | 4 days | Rest, probably caused by overdoing in the running and long run in the cold and wet the day before. | details |
| acejase | 4 days | didnt drink much while sick and should have. had stomach ache afterwards. | details |
| Ursa | 4 days | details | |
| hel vino | 4 days | No idea what caused it but it has very gradually settled down, a little whole milk seemed to help settle down acute bouts of abdominal pain. | details |

| Blaaz | 5 days | details | |
| Blaaz | 5 days | details | |
| Suzanne | 5 days | Sleep helped a lot. Took longer to recover than I thought it should have. Should have taken more drugs perhaps (I took a nyquil like drug for three of the four nights to help me get through the night, but felt awful on Saturday after I hadn't taken it). | details |
| Ollie | 5 days | Workplace stress. Didn't affect me for so long this time, as I was more aware/in control of what was happening. | details |
| Ollie | 5 days | Picked up some bug with my food, I guess - or maybe the altitude finally got to me. | details |

| Bender | 6 days | Recovered by accepting it and giving it the time required to go away on its own. | details |
| MikeS | 6 days | details | |
| fredder | 6 days | After a week of feeling like I just got off the merry-go-round, I think I can start training again. Pretty sure it was/is an ear infection, but apparently one's brain learns to accommodate the changes in signals that cause the vertigo, so the spells just get weaker on their own over time. In fact, it's best to 'tease' them (moving the head around to cause dizziness) to force the adaptation to occur. Go figure. | details |
| pcbrent | 6 days | details | |
| speedy | 6 days | Used Vitamin C (2g twice a day), Oscillococcinum, Airborne. Added Tylenol Cold 2-3 times a day. Relieve came only after the pick of the sickness, which happened on the 4th day. | details |
| Swisscheese | 6 days | details | |

| T - runner | 19 days | details | |
| Becks | 20 days | Spent a week doing lots of walking and lots of sleeping and finally feel much better, record of one six hour sleep during the day and still one full night sleep! Ran on the 1st August and legs felt stiff but don't feel unwell afterwards. Guess I was just totally whacked and stressed. | details |

Also delighted that I'll be able to finish off the season OK, having missed 3 weekends of races, including the British Championships and CompassSport Cup qualifiers. 7 days off work, 4 races missed. | details |
| DragonFly | 21 days | Went to see the doctor after several weeks, but it was just a bad dry cough that needed to run it's course. | details |
