New to this site...scared out of my mind

[SarahJillian912]

I am new to this site, and I have always been scared of catching the dreaded sb. I have been dating my boyfriend for over a month now, and I was there at his house Saturday night and spent the night. He was fine the whole time that I was with him. He didn't sleep very good Saturday night and kept saying that his back was bothering him from lifting something heavy at work that morning. I left early Sunday morning because he had to go to work and later last night around 5pm, he tells me that he is going to bed because he has felt sick to his stomach since late morning. I start panicking immediately because I was there over night and we were kissing and he cooked our dinner. My sister keeps telling me to relax because I wasn't around him when he had actual symptoms, but I am still really nervous. I talked to him today and he said that he v* once last night around 8pm, and that today he has been able to keep food and drinks down and that he is just feeling really tired and he tried going to work and he said that he had the sweats. I hardly slept at all last night laying there worrying and almost as if I am waiting for it to start with me.

Don't worry! You can't catch it from him...you ate the food he cooked and you kissed him before he threw up. If it was the norovirus, it's not contagious until a person throws up (or has diarrhea, I suppose).

Try to calm yourself down, you won't get sick!

Thank you! I am still just really nervous. I've been afraid to eat all day...I have eaten some but only small bland foods and I hate this feeling of worry that I am going to get it.
