My voice is so deep and croaky I sound like a man but havent felt n* which had been a relief - I can cope with all the crap a cold involves. But about 8 hours ago I started to feel really n*, this sensation swept over me in waves and scared the crap out of me. Ive taken max dose of phenergan (50mg) about 2-3 hours ago plus a mild tranquiliser but even though its taking the edge off its still there. Whats scaring me is that my immune system is probably not all that great at moment as Im struggling with this cold and I know theres a s* & d* bug around me area. In fact the co-worker I caught this cold off has 2 young grandchildren that spend every day at her house who have only just got over a stomach bug. I feel so crappy and my stomach aches as well as these horrible waves of n*.

I'm always scrubbing my hands so they get red and raw and sometimes bleed, so this will keep them moisturised while getting rid of germs. I mean, I read on here that sanitiser doesn't kill noro, so obviously as an emet I would wash my hands with soap and water first, but just for extra clean-ness! Here's a link if you want to look at it!

I'm worried because everyone is talking about illness at the moment. Now I know the general flu/bad cold has been going around and tons of people have had that. In fact today is the first day I'm back at work after having nearly a week off because of that virus. I felt terrible!

But there's a sickness bug and I know at least 3 people who have had\have it. There's loads of people off at work and it's the talk at the mo because we are so thin on the ground.

I know that I have to have good hygiene but I feel so worried because I'm coughing a lot and I don't know whether putting my hand near my face is a good thing :( plus I will probably have a weakened immune system from this flu.

What do I do? What do I take?

I just had my first day of work yesterday, it was an 8 hour shift and I was really exhausted and tired from it. I sort of felt crappy yesterday but ate dinner anyways. (I tend to feel sort of nauseous when I'm over tired, and I'm on a new birth control so it could be that too). So anyways; went to bed at 11:30, and just now woke up at around 2:45 from a dead sleep and can't seem to fall back asleep. My nerves feel insane and I'm having a panic attack. I don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, and one time I woke up like this and ended up throwing up several hours later for some reason so now I always link the 2 together. I do know that I was having a dream when I woke up about getting a text that my dad got food poisoning so I woke up and it seemed real so I immediately checked my phone to see if it was really there, but it wasn't. So that kind of freaked me out and could be the reason I'm up. But I can't seem to calm and convince myself that it's nothing. I have my second day of work tomorrow also, so I could be slightly nervous for that. I don't know, I'm just scared i guess. I hate when I wake up in the middle of the night now. Do you think it's just psychological? Are my nerves just causing me to have some insomnia?

My tooth has been killing me its just a shell of a tooth because I never got it filled and I needed a crown. Well I never did get it done and I went today and thought I could get it done but no.

I'm just at that point where I can feel the anxiety starting to envelope me, and it's the scariest thing, I can't make it stop. I've taken Gravol and Peptobismol and Ibuprofen. I have peppermint tea, and mints, and water, and gingerale. I even have saltine crackers but I can't bring myself to eat them.
It's just since last night there's been this weird pressure on my stomach, like I can't breathe in deep, it just stops. And this feeling just makes my stomach uneasy and nauseous and I feel it rise up into my throat and just make me so frightened. It'll calm down a little bit, but then I'll still feel it, like I need to v*, and nothing seems to be making it go away and I'm afraid it never will and I'll just continuously feel like this.
I couldn't sleep until four in the morning last night and I'm trying so hard to be positive now but it's immobilizing, I can't feel anything else, the feeling is a constant reminder of my phobia and anxiety and I can't handle it.

I've been having tons of stomach troubles over the past few weeks to the point where I'm only able to eat a couple times a week. I've been trying real hard to cut out the junk food and eat small, healthier meals but that's not helping at all. Case in point, I ate half of a baked potato and a 4 oz steak for dinner last night and a couple bites of pie for dessert. I've felt lousy pretty much since a couple hours after I woke up-extremely full, bloated, gassy but unable to pass any, throat n*, and just basically like everythng I ate is still just sitting there. I've definitely felt this way before and never v'd from it, but I can't escape my own thoughts that something about this is "different". I start feeling better for an hour or so, then it comes back. my normal brain keeps saying that I'm being stupid, paranoid and working myself into a panic, but my emet brain keeps saying "what if......what if?"
-is this what "IT" feels like?
-if this was a SV* it wouldn't come and go, right?
-IBS and trapped gas can start to feel better, then lousy again, right?

Yesterday my family took me to Macaroni Grill for Mothers Day Dinner. I got a pasta with roasted chicken, shrimp and proscuito covered in a rosemary cream sauce and had the waiter sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. I didnt eat it all. After Dinner we put the food in the car (i live in Ga so its kind of hot here) but only for about an hour while we were in the book store. I still had ice in my drink that was in the car as well so i dont guess it was very hot. Then we went to another store for about 20 minutes. Then we went home and put the food in the fridge. I heated it up around 130pm and ate some. Had a piece of the chicken and i am sure smalle pieces of the proscuito because it was broken up in the pasta. There wasnt anymore shrimp in the pasta because i ate it all at the resturant.
Now i dont feel well. I have a lot of nausea right now. My stomach is making some noises but i guess that could be because i havent eaten since lunch. Also I was starting to feel a little funny before i ate the food. I had eaten a steak bagel for breakfast around 10:30. Maybe thats the culprit.
Could my food have gone bad??? It was a cream sauce. Proscuito is like a ham right? I cant believe i ate it. I NEVER do that. I hate leftovers for that reason. I normally would have thrown it out. My husband ate some too but it was about an hour later. He isnt feeling bad. But he didnt eat the chicken and he had less proscuito cause he doesnt like meat so i made sure to take it out as best i could.
So does anyone think that the food was bad.
