    I had rotavirus when I was 6. I was on vacation in Florida with my family and I got it 2 days after we got there. I was in hospital for 3 days and 2 nights. I was on an I.V. Drip for 24 hours and un-conscious for about 26 hours. I then got out of the hospital and was throwing up and had diarrhea for around a week and a half. During that week and a half, I also proceeded to pass out around 4-6 times. On the 2 1/2 hour plane ride from West Palm Beach, FL, to Newark, Nj, I passed out 3 times and had to be taken to a separate part of the plane to be treated. Luckily, there was a nurse on board. The nurse found out that I was puking while un-conscious and was swallowing it again, and throwing it back up, she gave me medicine and I woke up, and I stopped choking on my own spit-up. I am still thankful for that nurse today.

    I contracted rotavirus from my youngest vomiting everywhere. I wore gloves and started cleaning it off thr carpet. Today I had a big systems engineering job and had to travel 2hrs to another city. it caught me right in the middle of the cutover. I was in the payroll department and had to stop myself from shivering and almost vomiting under the main ladies desk. It was embarrassing to excuse myself to the toilet a couple of times only to come back 30-40min later. I clogged their toilet with all the paper and diarrhoea. Using the toilet brush to force pump it down I then couldn't get all the sticky bits of poo from the brush so got it under the hot tap water and finally looks clean enough to return. All afternoon I felt cold and shakey, I took lunch in th car with aircon up full for heat and slept for half an hr. This has been such a terrible experience for me to be on the job when Rotavirus hit the hardest and try to act like I am ok. I didn't eat all day, took a cocktail of painkillers and slept for an hour just so I could drive back home. When I got home I just drank water and passed out.

    I had Rotavirus when I was five. I threw up three times the night before my parents took me to the doctors. I stayed the average three nights and was out of school two months recovering. I had so many vaccines I lost count. As I was throwing up and on the toilet by legs would shake violently. This now happens every time I vomit or in a scary situation. I was just at the age where I can start remembering things and dude, that's not a good first memory to have!

    I don't remember having Rotavirus when I was little. Either I did and I don't remember (possible) or I've never had it (not possible or at least extremely rare according to research).
    I have had diarrhea at a young age, but it wasn't bad enough for me to have to go to the hospital or become dehydrated. Maybe I had a less severe case at one point and we never detected it.

    When I was 7 I had Rotavirus, I felt like I was tired and I wanted to throw up all the time, I couldn't eat without vomitting, I was about one or two weeks in my house, then I went to school but with an special 'diet' for like 2 months, it was all good. The day before I was supposed to be fine and could do whatever I wanted I woke up at 2 AM and my stomach gutted like hell, then I stood up and I went to the bathroom to get a glass of water, but before I could drink it I threw up, anyway, I had rotavirus (again) The worst part was that my family was with friends and we went to restaurants with food that I loved, cooked my favourite food at my house, and other delicious stuff... What did I eat? Rice and chicken, and if I was lucky soup. I still hate them for that

    Back in the early 90's they didn't have a vaccine for rotavirus. I was hospitalized for about a week they put me in a room and said that only those who have had the virus or really strong amune systems could come and visit me I had a really bad case of it . The only thing that I could keep down was ice chips and toast

    My youngest memory is contracting this disease and I remember two vivid moments: throwing up all over my dad’s back on multiple occasions and being in the hospital for about 2 weeks and my fear was getting ‘flushed’; it’s why I’m still scared of shots.

    my 10 month old daughter is vaccinated against rotovirus because my little brother had it when he was young and it was very hard to watch him suffer. and last week my co workers granddaughter (16 months) got it and she has been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. she almost died from having such a high fever. she is completly unvaxed :(

    I had rotavirus when I was 7 and I almost died because my parents waited too long to take me to the Dr. By the time my Dad got me there, I lost feeling in my legs and couldn't walk at all and I was throwing up everywhere. They had to transfer me to an emergency medical center nearby. I got an IV there and a tube put up my nose to soak up the contents so I would stop vomiting. I then became unconscious and was transferred by ambulance to the hospital. I was in the icu for 3 days where they ran several blood and stool tests to find out was wrong with me. I then got moved to a regular room and started walking again while connected to my IV. I finally went home a f we days later.

    Rotavirus can be deadly I almost died from it I was hospitalized for 3 months with it and flat-lined twice. I was in isolation with no food it persisted for so long because it was a resistant or superbug strain.

      Lee Mayes UK don't get rotavirus because it's always raining the disease is always washed down the drains.
      Of course you bloody well can, it's part of the NHS child vax scheme. As most developed countries.
