I haven't posted in awhile. After joining this site I felt a lot stronger in coping with my emet and my anxiety which is based around it. This has been especially important since I'm in school with other students at college and I work with children at both my employment and my internship. Basically I encounter a lot of people! of course they are the same people all the time.
anyways a co worker was out recently with the following symptoms- constant n* for days, loss of appetite, dizzy spells, and fatigue. after about two days of feeling like this she V*. only once and then after that she was n* for about another day or so.
so of course im in high alert now. i usually feel sick almost instantly after hearning this kind of news but eventually it passes as being pure panic to being in the back of my mind anxiety. well this was thursday she called out ( she v* the night before) i worked with her on wed. closely.
all weekend ive been gassy which isnt like me. without being to vulger i rarely fart but this weekend im gas galore. i keep feeling like i have to go to the bathroom but when i try nothing happens. my stomach feels weird. not n* at all just very weird. im not dizzy but with my anxiety i can feel lightheaded or a little off all the time.
i spoke to the co worker today who said she knows several other people who have exp. the same thing as her. im terrified im going to be one of them.
last night when eating dinner i was hungry but half way through i felt so sick and thought if i eat one more bite im going to be sick. i quickly retreated to my room chewed some gum ( thats something that makes my nerves calm down) and i slowly felt better. i ate an orange for dessert a few hours later.
does anyone have an idea what can be wrong with me? do you think i have what she does? has anyone else heard of this odd virus. if it even is a virus. she said the way she was feeling almost made her think she was pregnant.
sorry it was such a long post. im just really worried

for the past week i've been feeling gassy, and my stomach is uncomfortable, too (same as you, not hurting but still uncomfortable) and when i'm never hungry and kind of feel n* when i eat. anyway, the point is, as far as i know, im not sick (HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!) because this has been going on for about a week now (on and off) and nothing has happened. im not sure whats wrong, but at least i haven't v*ed. just try to calm down because you'll be okay
