The next night (tuesday) I got SUPER sick. It was not pretty. I was in SO much pain I couldn't even describe it. After I threw up countless times, harder than Ive ever felt before, every bone, muscle and joint in my body was screaming in pain. It was hard to walk, move, anything... drinking water even hurt my ears. I mean the pain was indescribable with how bad it was. This lasted ALL day weds and I went to bed around 730pm weds evening after taking 2000mg of tylenol with absolutely no results or dimished pain. I slept straight through until 8am thurs morning. When I woke up, it was like nothing happened. Everything was fine. I felt fine, pain was gone, fever gone, no more upset stomach, nothing. It was the strangest thing ever. My girlfriend said her & her husband were the same way, SOOOO sick on Monday to absolutely FINE on tuesday. Isn't that bizarre?

Definitely sounds like it was possibly Salmonella poisoning. Here are some of the symptoms.
Symptoms

By Mayo Clinic staff
There are more than 2,000 varieties of salmonella bacteria, but only about a dozen of them cause illnesses in people. Most of these illnesses can be classified as gastroenteritis, often featuring severe diarrhea. But a few varieties of salmonella bacteria result in typhoid fever, a sometimes deadly disease that is more common in developing countries.
Gastroenteritis
Salmonella-induced gastroenteritis is most often caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products. The incubation period ranges from several hours to two days. Signs and symptoms may include:
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Fever
Chills
Headache
Muscle pains
Blood in the stool

I have seen how inhumanely factory-laying-hens are caged and treated and consequently, I only buy organic cage-free or free-range chicken eggs. It costs only a little more, but it gives me peace of mind when it comes to how they are treated , feed, and how nutritious the eggs are.
