Renowned comedian Ricky Gervais recently shared his experience with a recent illness that had him fearing he had liver and stomach cancer. The 61-year-old self-proclaimed hypochondriac described being awakened in the middle of the night by excruciating shooting pains in his side, which immediately sparked thoughts of a serious health condition. Ricky speculated that his regular drinking habits may have finally caught up to him, intensifying his concerns.
As the night progressed, Ricky endured severe vomiting and stomach pain that left him convinced he could have stomach cancer. The intensity of his symptoms and his inability to find relief through vomiting left him breathless and fearing for his life. Thoughts of choking and the possibility of contracting coronavirus consumed his mind. Ricky even contemplated the unlikely scenario of being the victim of radiation poisoning.
Eventually, Ricky’s illness took a different turn, manifesting through diarrhea. Although uncomfortable, Ricky found solace in the fact that it provided some relief compared to his previous symptoms. Despite his anxieties, Ricky tried to fight off the illness, even joking about preferring diarrhea over vomiting. He described the unpleasant experience of retching without any relief and shared how his attempts to manage the situation included strategic timing while sitting on the toilet.
Finally, Ricky found some respite through over-the-counter remedies like a Lemsip and Gaviscon. These medications allowed him to lie down without feeling the urge to vomit, although he still experienced weakness and couldn’t eat much throughout the day. By the evening, he managed to have a beer, signaling a gradual recovery.
Ricky’s humorous account of his illness on Twitter culminated in an admission that he genuinely believed he was going to die. Fans and well-wishers offered their support, and Ricky later confirmed his suspicion that he had contracted the norovirus, a common cause of gastrointestinal distress.
Despite enduring one of the worst episodes of illness in his life, Ricky expressed gratitude for the improvement in his condition and thanked his followers for their kind messages of support.
