Glastoitus....proper poorly.

Has anyone else suffered from post glasto illness?

They warned of piggy flu, bad guts and drunken nightime injuries but where in the small print did it mention kidney stones!! 3 months on and the painful little blighter is still stuck there between my kidney and bladder...even after an operation and the fitting of extra pumbing. Another operation in 5 weeks time will hopefully see it removed and I can place it next to my glasto collection.

So be warned...drink plenty of water!!!!....and be careful of too much cider( not proved but I reckon that may be what did me in).

Anyhow my ticket is booked for next year...so thats 36 weeks of recovery! :rolleyes:

I suffered with a touch of the old glastoenteritis whilst there (entirely down to cider in the Riflemans tuesday night it has to be said - I was skint til thurs and it was best way of getting pissed quick!) but fine after. Yours sounds grim - mate had the old stones and used to have him doubled up on occassions. Which amused me no end

2 out of our party of 3 had the raging shits this year - me whilst at Glasto (the worst place in the world to have the whirly-splats) and Matt when we got back. He was so ill he was off work for a week and at one point was crapping blood.

Cider + Sunshine + Ethnic Food + Dancing. What do you think was going to happen?

I'd like to suggest Post Glastonbury Syndrome (PGS) would be a more appropriate name for this phenomenon, or possibly Glastonbury Bowel Disorder (GBD).

Glastoitus (or more properly Glastitis) would be inflammation of your Glastonbury(ies), which doesn't sound pleasant, but is also not what is being described here.

Simonizer's wife appears to suffer from Post Glastonbury Tension.

I suffered from Post Glastonbury Exhaustion.

was okay whilst I was still there, then as soon as I was home and the magic was no longer there... BAM!

14 hours in bed, barely eating, nausea, feeling knackered all the time, sniffles, something a lot like glandular fever but not.

Wasn't great.

on the bowel movements, from the wednesday till the monday, i went once. Now i'm very aware this cannot have been healthy for myself, but it wasn't as if i was preventing myself....

the only things I suffer from after festivals is being unable to drink a cold pint of beer - i get too used to warm beer and secondly the wave of depression knowing that I have to wait a whole year for the next one.

Glasto has (I found out) got a chemist stall. I asked the guy if he had any Diacalm or Immodium and hs reply was "You kidding? This is Glastonbury. We've got boxes full."

Speaks volumes really.

I think Glastoenteritis works best. :blink:

I always wonder around the site with a bog-roll stuck in some pocket/bag or other. Long gone are the days when I could hold it all in for blighty, now it's a case of when I gotta go... I gotta go. I'm amazed people still manage to blame the food as opposed to the 15 pints of Scruttocks Old Dirigible cider they drank beforehand. Booze is without doubt the one thing that'll knacker up your insides more than anything else. Do yourself a favour, drink a litre or so of water before you go to bed each night and you'll feel far better in the morning (we've even gone as far as to start drinking those rehydration sachet drinks before bed, cheap and really makes a difference.
