Just try and remember that this may not be an sv, kids get sick sometimes for reasons other than sv's and i know you state that she has a fever, well that doesn't necessarily mean its an sv either.
...

yeah it is annoying...at least you were near a bathroom! lol :-)

It doesn't sound like an sv to me. The fact that your feeling hungry is a positive sign. If it was an sv then you wouldn't be feeling hungry in my experience.

Sometimes, you just need the toilet...

i've recently learnt EFT for work. Its called emotional freedom technique and is used in relaxation and anxiety. I was very sceptical as it claims to be a 'cure all' which i don't think it is but it...

no, it won't come out of nowhere. Just keep yourself busy to distract yourself from even thinking about it and nibble on biscuits if you begin to feel queasy. and yeah i know what you mean...it could...

you're not feeling well because your anxious...no reason why you would have caught it. you know the rules, people aren't contagious until they v* and you, like myself, are hygiene concious i imagine!...

...

It seems good actually, maybe tooo early to tell, i found out today about how to use it to help deal with past memories (of v* in my case) it will take a lot of work but it might just help, hmmmm lol
