Is something else wrong with me if Ive had the flu 4 times in two months?!
Question:
I have had, what I think, is the stomach flu 4 times now in the last two months. Ive been throwing up, diarreha, high temp, chills, and feeling faint at times. Is this what Im getting(stomach flu) or could this be something else? And how do I get rid of it? Please help!!
Answers:
It is very unusual to have the stomach flu 4 times in 2 months. It could very well be something else. It could be a virus, but don't take any chances with your health. See a doctor.

no, all u have is a virus. it happened to my Mom
you may be having one of several conditions. the persistence of the disease and the cyclic nature of the symptoms might be because of a virus (probable), some sort of bacteria, or a parasite of some sort which is residing in your stomach.
on the other hand it could be the beginning of a chronic inflammation, although this is less common.
anyway - if your immune system has problems in eliminating the disease causing agent, or on the other hand - your immune system is overreacting and causin a chronic inflammation, you should go see a doctor and he could find out what you have and hopefully treat it.
some information that might help the doctor is if you had been around other people who had some sort of illness, if you were injured before the symptoms started to occur, or any other way in which you think you could have contracted an infection.
hope you feel better.
