I know what you mean, I'm always torn as to whether or not this site helps me or just makes me panic more. Reading panic posts can definitely be unsettling and I definitely think reading about...

I don't understand when people being sick became newsworthy?? The news came on the radio whilst I was driving today 3 times, and each time noro was the first story. It's ridiculous. I guess it makes...

So glad I read this post, it really helps to have the figures put into perspective. I just read on bbc news that its estimated that between 600,000 and 1 million people will have had norovirus...

Also I've just googled them and it says they help empty your stomach faster by moving contents into your bowel. Would this just encourage worse diarrhea do you think? I'd rather have bad d* than v*...

@dreamer - does Motillium actually stop you throwing up then? I'm hesitant about buying them because I don't really know what they are meant to do, but I've just worked myself up about norovirus by...

I just saw your post on another thread, and I blame the daily mail entirely for both of our returns! My first day back too, what a sad occasion, though probably for the best if I wanna get through...

Also I do not understand how people are physically capable of going into work with this bug! If it's so bad that you spend half your time with diarrhea and being sick and running a fever how on earth...

I really wish the news didn't report norovirus, it sends me on a downwards spiral! This is my first visit to this site since last winter. I had been doing so well apart from the odd scare every now...

Obviously it'd be great to not be afraid of sick, but at the same time I just think being hygienic is...right. I don't know if you mean not be obsessively clean or just not care about hand...

I've looked for that in Boots before and never found it. I've just given up, i'm too forgetful to use them. They've got toilets on trains so you can just go wash your hands. Tbh I always put it down...

I have once, it was the next morning. I was so hungover and had to get up early and go to work. I had no food and just kept drinking water and I was stood up walking around all morning. I really...

Has she definitely been sick? It might not necessarily be a sv, but i'd be taking extra precautions if I were you! You should be perfectly safe to sleep in the same room as her just as long as she...

Wow that's so exciting! I've never been to Japan by my Japanese friend visits family there lots and it looks so cool! I have no idea about the noro situ, i'm guessing it's similar to everywhere else....

I can't say i've really noticed any difference because these days i'm very alert about sick bugs and hear about them over the internet like on here or on facebook or from reading the papers and...

AH at last someone else! I've not met anyone else that knows it. I loved that series sooo much too, the first few books were quite young and the last ones got a bit weird but all the ones at the...

I've not heard of this but I've seen the trailer and it looks good. Don't quite get what its about but I might go see it. I love being that excited about books/films. I was SO excited when the last...

Hey thanks for the responses. Yeah I know it wasn't vomit, i've had it happen plenty of times before it's just cos I was feeling sick as it was so it freaked me right out. Entered panic mode. I think...

Sorry to hear you're so fed up, I am too! absolutely freaking out right now! Hopefully you're in a better situation and are asleep right now, deffo sounds like trapped gas, beans can cause that and...

I hate that i'm posting another panic post within a few days of my last one but its the only thing i can think of which might calm me down right now

I went to bed nauseous and my stomach has been...

That's really sweet, deffo one to hold on to. Man I need to get myself a boyfriend like that! I swear everyone on here is a couple, you lucky buggers.

jmoore I can not comprehend sleeping with the telly on! Do you have it on mute? I have to have complete darkness and no sound to distract me, though I often listen to my ipod before going to sleep.
...

I don't really have too much of a problem with food. I can be a bit of a fussy eater but it's not really cause of emet, although I will avoid shell fish cos that is a more common food to make you...

I agree with what you are saying, and it would be good if we could all come to this site and discover new ways of thinking and help ourselves overcome the phobia. But I don't think it's that easy to...

I only recently joined, perhaps 4 months ago? It makes me wonder reading this where i'll be in a few years time, if i'll still be using the website for support and just generally where i'll be with...

Ohh you have no idea how glad I am you said this! I definitely have daily bathroom fear, though it's not really because i'm scared it'll be the first sign of a sv. I just really hate it. I'm...
