As winter approaches, I'm starting to obsess and panic about norovirus. My emetophobia has been horrible the last year; I was semi-recovered before or at least functioning normally. Now, once again,...

I'm going to keep an eye on these and hope that eventually, they're recruiting volunteers in Canada! Unless I'd be able to participate in one in Seattle, as I'm only a few hours north.

Very, very unlikely! Sometimes, little kids vomit from the flu because they're so sensitive from the phlegm and mucous that they're not properly expelling. As an adult, your chances are slim -...

Feeling pretty crummy again, but also my fault - I tried some Arrowroot cookies and I think that was too soon. Took an anti-emetic as it's bed time anyway, so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.

If you're not someone who v's easily or often, then I highly doubt it. Not eating can cause you to feel n, so if you're sensitive to that, then yes, you could in turn v. But for me I've had horrible...

Hi guys,

I have what is likely a bug. Basically, yesterday I was feeling pretty off (I've been off for weeks, that's a whole other story - but this was different) but shook it off. This morning, I...

Hope you're feeling better!

I've come to realize that for me, it's not even the v*ing itself - it's the buildup and nausea. I've only been ill once in the past few years, and before that, it had been thirteen years. But in the...

I drink - I've had some rough nights where I've felt like "Oh man... maybe this is it..." but it seems like it's mostly me panicking about the potential as opposed to genuine n. Have never been ill...

My mom took a Dramamine/Gravol and kept it down, and we think she's slept through the night. So that's definitely good. I didn't sleep well at all nor did my aunt of course as we were up listening...

My mom has been sick 3 times now. She's in so much pain but still refuses to go to the ER. We're worried that it's not a bug. My aunt has taken care of her sick little sister many times and has never...

Thank you jkl. My mom has v*d - not really sure how many times because both her and my aunt are of course very aware of my phobia. She tried some flat ginger ale and it came right back up. She's in a...

Now I'm freaking out and second guessing myself. What if I what I have/had wasn't a bug? That's what the doctor suggested, gastroenteritis, but what if it was just a bad stomach flare up? My mom...

I think I'm on the mend today, Day 3. But unfortunately my mom has awful stomach cramps and is running to the bathroom, exactly what I dealt with. I feel really bad. My aunt had d this morning but...

I've been feeling really crappy for the last two days. New Years Eve, I had a fever - really bad chills to the point of shaking but with cold sweats, and then I would burn up. I had a light headache...

I'm in Grade 12. None of my friends have had a bug in the past 5 years. None of them are frequent hand-washers. There have been no outbreaks. It's very rare that it passes through my school or...

Feeling horrible right now!!

This the second night in a row that I've gone to my grandmothers for dinner. Last night she made a casserole with lots of dairy in it but I took my lactaid pills. The...

Absolutely it lowers your immune system. Your body needs the nutrients and weight to function correctly. I sympathize - about 5 years ago I was underweight due to fear and anxiety. I was always sick...

I think it's the uncertainty - that it could happen anywhere, any time. The last bug I had, last February, it hit me hard and sudden while watching my sister's swimming lesson. It wasn't the end of...

Hm, have there been recent tests done on your water? Sometimes tap water can be not so great and cause an upset tummy. It happened to my mom and I when we were in the US, actually it's happened quite...

Where the heck are the mods around here?! We need active mods on this site. I'm not trying to resurrect this thread and apologies if it seems that way. This topic should be closed.

Me too! Those were the people I remember when I first joined this site. You were here as well and you were all so kind and welcoming when I first joined, as I'd been suffering for a long time but had...

Here is the link! https://www.facebook.com/groups/113447145388670/

Just be warned that it's Closed, not Secret. So although it doesn't appear on your profile, it may pop up in suggestions for your...

It does actually appear sometimes though :( one of my friends texted me about it the other day, lol. It sometimes comes up in a sidebar suggesting groups for you to join, saying something like...

Wowza. Harsh.

I don't know who the hacker is, whether he is or isn't from here... maybe I should have clarified that. Only our administrator knows the identity, all that we know is that it's been...
