I have had the fear of v-ing for 27 years! I have never told anyone. I even doctor with a Gastrointerologist for my GERD and have never told him. Never realized so many people suffered like I do. My husband knows I'm a germ-a-phobe, complete freak about expiration dates and eating food prepared by others. I absolutely avoid sick people. If I know someone has a stomach sickness, they won't see me near them or their home or their job for at least a month. Those bugs live FOREVER! Night time is the worst for me. I typically fall asleep due to exhaustion from the anxiety. I LOVE when I have a good day OR night! They do sometimes happen. I'm glad to be here with all of you and hope to learn how to cope with this better or beat it with a stick! Peace and Hugs!
