    Smile I thought I was the only one!

    You cannot imagine how happy I was to find this site. I thought I was the only one in the world who was terrified of v*, terrified of seeing other people throw up, hearing about sv, etc. That is, until I realized I've made one of my sons a lunatic, too. He is just as afraid of it all as I am -- maybe even more so. I just cannot stand the feeling of nausea and dry heaves. And when someone in the family has sv, I go into panic mode. I'm so afraid I'll get it, and I thought I was the only person ever who did this -- I eat close to nothing for fear!

    OMG, this is such a relief to know I'm not the only one in the world.

    Karen,

    Welcome...isn't it a fantastic feeling to know you aren't the only one!! you will find comfort and helpful advice here. My only advice to you, is to take everything with a grain of salt. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss...lol!

    I just relised this too a few days ago... Such a relief eh?
    I'm more terrified of that act of *V itself... Not to bad hearing or seeing, although it'll instantly make me nausous. Also freak out if someones got the SV* too
    Actually I wasn't feeling well, and in panic, I was trying to cool down by looking up ways to make me feel better than cam across this site. I almost cried
