Hello MichdixI started walking on may 4th with 2 weeks to go as far as I could. I loved it. Unfortunately I have spent the last 3 days extremely sick and have only left my hostel once and that was to go to the farmacia. The farmacia gave me medication for the diarrhea. The first night I also had fever, chills, and vomiting. I still cant eat and the diarrhea has only subsided slightly.
I'm posting this as if there are any known viruses circulating on the Camino it will be helpful information to give my doctor.
My big concern now is that tomorrow I need to take a bus to Bilbao as my plane leaves Friday. I'm assuming there aren't always bathrooms on the buses or is that not the case.
Any information regarding viruses or buses would be much appreciated

Beware the eggs sunny side up!!My dr visit confirmed everything started on this forum.
-Likely good poisoning possibly salmonella
- the medicine provided by the farmacia was the wrong approach
He recommended citrosal powder to add to water and mo food u til tomorrow, when I can start with yogurt
Thanks everyone for your information and support.
With all due respect, Tom, I can't agree, based on a lot of experience with this (in myself and others) in the developing world.Several folks above have stated that 'getting all the bad stuff out' ASAP is the way to go. There is a second school of thought, which I subscribe to, that says that slowing the motility down helps your body absorb more water in the intestines and helps avoid dehydration. I know my notion is proven medically.
