I cant really say I felt ill after my last pap smear, but I did feel a bit dodgy. I put it down to the evil nurse who took the swab. She was rough and didnt tell me what she was doing and it hurt. I had bleeding afterwards, but just spotting really and i think I felt yuk because the whole experience was just yuk.

Maybe you were feeling off and crampy because of O. I dont really know about the chicken - I often defrost it in the fridge like you did and i havent been sick before from it.

Hope you are feeling better now though.
