Sounds very unlikely to me. It sounds like she's having hormonal issues or maybe it's because of the chest infection. If she had a sickness bug then she'd be highly unlikely to pass it onto you...

Welcome to the forum :) I'm sorry you're having a tough time with reading things. I would say don't jump in at the deep end if it is making you feel uncomfortable; there's no need to do that just...

It doesn't seem fair that you're under so much pressure. Of course your friends want to live with you, but it seems at such a high price - literally and figuratively! It must be awfully expensive...

I read an article on the BBC about it too. It really, really annoys me. It really IS so unnecessary and thoughtless and selfish. I think even if I wasn't emet I would be just as angry about it. It's...

Oh I am sorry! I wonder if you have mucus upsetting your stomach (sorry for slightly gross way of putting it!). Although you do say you're not too bunged up. Perhaps the grease of the fry-up annoyed...

That poor little boy getting shouted at by his mother :( I feel he will grow up to be phobic if that's how he is treated! Also, the poor other customers - bodily fluids have no place in a food...

Sudafed will help with congestion but an antihistamine might be more effective in tackling all the allergy symptoms at once. You can get non-drowsy ones like loratadine nowadays.

I agree with Gracie. There's no WAY the virus can lie dormant in the body for 10 days and then start to cause symptoms! It's 72 hours at the maximum.

Well really flies cause problems when they land on food because they then v* on it and eat it again (to put some enzymes on it to help digest it I think). So whatever nasties they have eaten...

Erk I totally empathise. I used to have a housemate who made the most disgusting throat-clearing coughing-up noises every morning. I know that sounds horribly judgemental of me but I could hear it...

So in total it's been out of the fridge about an hour? That's really nothing to worry about. I think two hours is the cut-off point but that is taking into account warm weather etc. It is not at all...

I would say you are definitely emetophobic! I don't really think there are any exact criteria for diagnosing it; I've certainly not been diagnosed with it. I just identify as emetophobic, I suppose....

Oh Sam you've nothing to apologise for! I wonder whether counselling might be better for you than CBT at this point, or maybe something else...I think it's really important to go back to your GP and...

Hello Rebecca! Sounds like you are doing pretty well in managing the phobia. Have you had any talking therapy or CBT as you may benefit from this quite a bit? You are so right not to hate yourself....

I think I also agree with the 'feeling right before'. I get terribly dizzy and feel very odd and seem to have a short moment in which I almost lose consciousness. Not sure if that is a fear response,...
