The overwhelming nausea and the build up to being sick, oh and stomach cramps.

Hi David,

I'm Bella, 31 next week and have had severe Emet since the age of 7 and OCD since 8 (diagnosed at 15). I have extensive treatment over the years but it hasn't helped so far!

Have you...

Mine is a 10. I have severe contamination OCD as a result of my Emetophobia so that I am mostly housebound. I am scared of touching anything that has been handled by anyone outside of my immediately...

Hello,

I have just got back from a trip so feeling a bit more anxious than usual as we stayed in a holiday rental and stopped along the way so I could have picked up a virus despite good hygiene. ...

Thank you for your reply and your help.

I am feeling sick again tonight (almost a fortnight later) and worrying a lot about whether I've caught norovirus from some vomit that I might have walked...

Thanks Tiggertail, that's really helped. I'm hoping it doesn't amount to anything!

Hello,

I'm from England but staying in Scotland for Christmas in a holiday apartment. When we arrived here 48 hours ago I could smell vomit in one of the bathrooms but my family insisted that it...

Yes.

My younger brother has a small airway and cleft palate. He had breathing and swallowing problems when he was little. He used to choke terribly and go blue as a baby and little boy (I'm 4...

Thank you so much for your replies! I think it's past the point when I would have got ill although I'm feeling a bit unwell tonight. I think it could have been car sickness but I've not been able to...

Hello,

I was out running this afternoon and was jogging along a very narrow pavement (side-walk) past several static cars that had (only) just stopped at some lights.

One of the cars had its...

That's really good that most people avoid taking anti-emetics too!

I just wanted to let anyone who might not realize about the hormone-nausea issue know because it's worse when other people are...

Hi All,

I've not taken an anti-emetic/anti-sickness medication in about a year now, having previously taken them every time I felt vaguely sick and since stopping them I've noticed that I do feel...

Hi Dxxr,

I live in England but lived in Edinburgh for 5 years. I think it depends on the kind of holiday you're looking for e.g. beach based, country-based, sight-seeing? I haven't actually been...

I'd rather not have either please :)

I mean there are mild variants of norovirus and other forms of viral gastroenteritis (esp rotavirus in adults) and there are some mild forms of food...

It was probably motion sickness so you'll probably be fine.

Hi Horsewoman,

What kind of allergy do have? For some nasal steroid sprays can be better with fewer side effects.

I'm struggling with depression and rely on coffee to make me feel better quite...

When I was looking after a 9/10 month old who had (I didn't know) rotavirus she projectile v* but then she cried afterwards so I guess the lack of fussiness/crying might indicate it isn't from a...

Hi Anxious_Fay,

Sorry you're having difficulty eating but well done for coping with your boyfriend's sickness.

Could you try eating "safe foods" from packets (e.g. biscuits/crackers,...

Hi Jessi,

I don't think it's crazy- leaving it 2 weeks (if that's an option) is a good idea. You could clean out the freezer, although it takes a lot of time an effort! Maybe you could buy some...

Could you just work with safe foods? maybe eat chocolate and crisps/chips to put on weight and don't worry about forcing yourself to eat unusual or "risky" foods

I think I'd have considered becoming a doctor... I often imagine being one! If you're still a teenager then definitely do everything you can to get therapy and get better!

I think it can be spread through saliva after ​but not before someone has thrown-up because they'll have viral particles from the v* in their mouths.

I don't think you're at risk though because...

Aw sorry to hear about that. How are you now? I'm feeling unwell too, have a bad stomach ache, which my mum also has.

I hope you feel better soon and that it's nothing horrible :)

It's a little uncertain but you might be okay. She must have not been feeling absolutely dreadful or she'd have called in sick?

If I was you and feeling okay tomorrow I would see the GP and ask...

I wash my hands:

- After picking up anything from the floor
- Before and after touching my face (so lots of times during face cream and make-up application)
- Every time my hands get sticky (so...
