I used to have loads of piercings but I took most of them out. I had one ear pierced twice in the lobe, and the other ear had two lobe piercings, a cartilage piercing and the middle bit pierced (...

It must have been about 50 minutes ago that he got up to go to the toilet - if he was going to have d* he would have gone again by now wouldnt he? also if he was going to v* he would have done that...

You are right, I know, but I'm kinda sitting here more worried about the fear I get from him being ill than him actually being ill. If that makes any sense. I'm scared he will pass it to the other...

My little brother is complaining that his tummy hurts. He has been to the toilet to see if that helps but he says it is still hurting. He says it is definitely not hunger, and now I'm terrified it...

Yeah, thanks to him for working me up!!!!

Good :-) Glad there's a positive...anyone else here?

SO many of you in the US have said that Benadryl acts as an anti-emetic. How do you know this? Are we talking about Benadryl the cold and flu medicine? Does anyone in the UK know if our version is...

I say yes. Always yes. I see a counsellor at my university and he is excellent at what he does - he has helped me already more than I could say. I was so terrified to go to him the first time, I...

HI guys, I haven't been around much lately, and when I have it's been basically only because I've been having a stress or a panic, so I thought I would see how everyone is doing. I hope you are all...

That's right, you don't want to sit at a table in a restaurant wondering if you're gonna need to make a run for the toilet. I'm from Cleveland, Redcar actually :-)

in the vast majority of cases i feel it is unneccesary but i think im one of the lucky few who isnt really that bothered by it. I think i hate the same reatcions as a non emet person - i find it...

Strange, I hate d as much as v, or should I say I fear them the same.......if she's not contagious will it be safe to eat food she has prepared? Normally youre not meant to eat food prepared by...

Do you know what's casuing the runs? Maybe its anxiety from worrying about the meal that's caused it? My steomum has had the runs all week, where in the UK are you from?

Yes, that just made me want to cry, it was awful, I felt traumatised just watching it. I wish I had recorded it because I really think a lot of it would have been helpful to apply to myself in terms...

That's the attitude!! The only way we will beat this thing is by getting mad, telling it that it isn't going to control your life any more and just going for it! This kind of approach is what I have...

Thank you all for your support - this has been a very testing week for me! I think she's doing better although I keep getting the standard "I'm fine" response when I ask now. However, on Saturday she...

Wow I didn't expect such a positive response, thanks guys! I just think that when things like this have attention drawn to them , it can't be anything but a good thing. Obviously the chance of it...

Wow, I totally don't want to be the one on TV - for starters I can't even consider travelling all the way to London....maybe we could get Jenneh to do it!!! But seriously, they should at least talk...

Thankyou :-)

Don't we all agree that it is time there was more awareness of emet? More awareness would mean more help professionals learning about the illness, and more help being available to more people....

Thanks for replying, I was beginning to give up hope!!


I didn't think it was an sv but then when the doctors say its a bug that implies an sv. However my setpmum said that all the doctor did...

So she's been to the drs. They says she has "a bug" Why do they say that? Do they say it about everything when they can't be btoehred to find out what's wrong? I HATE IT WHEN THEY SAY THAT! Now I'm...

Thanks guys. I hope she is too. She's going to the drs this morning. I have been washing my hands like a crazy woman, and using Antibacterial hand wipes every time I come back into my bedroom for...

Some of you may have read my other post in Questions and Answers. My Stepmum has had d* and cramps sicne Sunday. I was scared that we'd all end up with it (I fear it as much as I do v*) and I was...

Well I don't think she had d* during the night but she said she still had cramps this morning. I've just got home and she said she's had to take some immodium to stop the d* but is still having...
