Not well at all - what could this be?

I feel a lot better today - not feeling dizzy or cold.

But STILL have the diarrhoea! I took 4 imodium last night and 2 this morning and it's still like water. Only thing i've noticed it is less frequent..
I'm also really dehydrated... i've drank so much water but straight after I have such a dry throat and I still haven't got much of an appetite either!
Ah can't wait till i'm well again!

Norovirus is a vomiting bug so it's definitely not that. Trust me I've had it lol :p:

Yeahh its the same bug. Can be vomiting or diarrhea. Apart from vomiting I have all the other symptoms.

The symptoms of a norovirus usually start between 24-48 hours after the initial infection, although they can start after as little as 12 hours. The first symptom is usually a sudden onset of nausea, which is followed by projectile vomiting and watery diarrhoea. Some people may also have:

a mild fever,
headaches,
stomach cramps, or
aching limbs.
In rare cases of the norovirus, seizures can occur. Symptoms normally last between 12-60 hours, although most people make a full recovery within one to two days. However, the diarrhoea may last slightly longer.

I had all of that even the sudden onset of nausea. So it's definitely this.

Pretty sure its the noro, my dad's friend is a doctor and he recons its that. I have the symptoms and I don't even have cough/runny nose which would of come with the flu

There is a diarrhoea equivalent called rotavirus I think it's more likely that. The main symtpom of norovirus is vomiting. You would have had vomiting with norovirus.
