I hate dreams like that especially ones where I get sick. Honestly, I don't like dreaming. Do you?

Honestly, I would prefer to keep my fear and be hygienic. I think emetophobia has some positives if under control!

Need.help.now,

The feeling of hunger is a good thing. It is the instinct that drives us to eat. However, overeating can be not healthy. I suggest that you try to limit how much you eat. That may take practice. For...

That's great! Living life!!! :)

Get well! I am sorry that you are not feeling well. :( Sometimes anxiety can make you feel sick to your stomach.

That type of behavior is very annoying. However, I do not think that all people will get sick because some people have stronger immune systems than others.

It can be difficult to tell. It may be a virus or it may not. It could be food poisoning as well. Though food poisoning is contagious. I think you will be fine as long as you wash your hands!

I do not smoke. I tried once though! (only one puff haha)

Sorry that your roommate is sick :( Anyway, just wash your hands, and do not put your dirty hands inside of your mouth. With that said you should be fine! :)

I think you will be fine. That is a scary experience for someone who has emetophobia, however. It sounds like there is something wrong other than a stomach virus.

Sorry about the way you are feeling :( I hate dreams where I get sick in them!

I do not have this problem. However, you are put to sleep when they do an endoscopy. If you are still worried about getting sick ask for some anti-nausea medication. I would go to the doctor even if...

It could be a multiple of things. Even if he was sick with a norovirus all you would have to do to avoid getting it is wash your hands and avoid placing your hands in your mouth while they are dirty....

There are some medications that you cannot just stop. I am not sure what would happen with this medication. You should talk to your doctor and see what your doctor tells you.

Do not eat food that has been left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. It grows Staph on it and that can cause some nasty food poisoning.

Every time you get that fear reflect on what it was like being sick. Emetophobia has a tendency to creep back up once someone faces their face. Keep pushing on! You can do it! :)

I'm sorry :(

The incubation period for a stomach virus is 12-48 hours. Depending on how much the virus was ingested. I think you will be fine. People who everyday stuff like that and not once get sick. I don't...

Welcome! :)

Everyone has fears. Fears affect people in different ways. It all depends on the person and how they perceive the world. People who do not suffer from fears really need to realize that. I am sorry...

I am not sure how to answer this question. I have read that immunity lasts only a few months. Our antibodies in our body remember their plan of attack once they attack a certain strain. Your daughter...
