It was identified in march 2012, but who knows when the mutation actually happened? it could have been around a longer and we were kust blissfully unaware. It has already swept through the east...

Oh I'm with you on that! I let my gym membership expire. I have children, so I walk or run with them when the weather permits it. There's all kinds of great exercise programs you can do at home,...

I think a lot of us cope by coming here, so you're doing the right thing. Sometimes just knowing that other people feel the same way as you and that you're not alone is a tremendous help. Exercise...

I freak at night, too. Not because I'm afraid I'll get it, but because I'm afraid my kids will. Last time I got it, it was during the day so that fear, for me, was blown away.

Who else left?

Yuck.

Endive?

My father has always craved pickles when he feels nauseous. My mom tells this story about the morning after his bachelor party, he was wrecked, so hungover, and sick. They went to a convenience store...

I had morning sickness and never once got sick during my pregnancy. Labor was another story, but it was my fault. If you want children, don't let this phobia stand in your way.

Know any stats about the US?

Any update?

Hours of fighting it for me. Every time I've had a true virus I spend at least 3-4 hours in pure misery before it happens.

I doubt it's from the McDonald's. usually food poisoning takes a little longer to manifest symptoms. No, zofran is a prescription. Hope you feel better soon :(

I sort of had a similar experience. I remember being starving all day and ate a big lunch, then when I was getting ready to run to the store I ate a banana and a piece of chocolate because I was so...

I felt lethargic and weak the day it set in, then had diarrhea, followed by the onset of nausea, horrific back/abdomen pain, a fever, then vomiting. You'll know.

Yum.

Tom Yum?

I think the theory of rubbing your hands together creates friction that can help shed the virus. So if nothing else is available it's better than nothing!

I was diagnosed with H1N1 in 2009 while I was pregnant with my daughter and was prescribed Tamiflu. I refused to take it then because it's a class C drug in pregnancy, I didn't even think about the...

I'm a teacher and sometimes I warn my students about stomach bugs too. I think of it this way, if I warn them, make them aware, and remind them to wash their hands thoroughly and often I stand a...

My best friend has pancreatitis. Her attacks hit her suddenly and violently. I mean one moment she's fine, the next we're calling 911.

No. Why do you ask?

When I've had food poisoning the nausea always hit me about 12-24 hours later. My dad, being the geek he is, tested my vomit once for whatever it was that was making me ill. Turns out it was a cream...

Hey! Try taking sone deep breaths and splash some cool water on your face. Your anxiety could be making it worse. Feel better!

Antihistamines can sometimes take away nausea. My good friend used to be a nurse in the pediatric oncology department at UNC (how sad) and when the patients would get nauseated they'd given them...

I've made it through two pregnancies just fine! I suffered horrible morning sickness with both and and for some reason was able to cope knowing that it would be worth it in the end. I only ever...
