Does this happen to anyone else... I'll be laying in bed, totally fine and drifting off into sleep when I wake ubruptly with panic for a few seconds, I continue to drift back to sleep but the same...

I feel as though for a lot of us we are scared at nighttime more because of the idea of waking up in the middle of the night with the sv. I know that for me, that was always when it hit me. I find...

Thank you all... Seriously

I posted this on a Facebook emet group and I got one of those annoying responses that say " I would never eat pink meat... Hamburger has bacteria in it.." blah blah blah... THAT IS SO THE OPPOSITE OF...

I love you both... Haha I seriously NEED reassurance or I will be up all night worrying. I get scared to go to sleep when I feel like this because of the fear of waking up in middle of night in a...

So i ordered a medium rare burger, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I was so hungry that like half way through I panicked because the texture felt weird and I never inspected it! I feel like it may have been too...

If I wake up abruptly in the middle of the night I generally get a hot flash and then think, "maybe this is it" but it NEVER IS, yet I react the same way each time. If I have ANY kind of stomach...

I keep different "stomach aiding" teas with me, along with a mini gingerale, pepto, and 2 different kinds of homeopathic anxiety meds at all times.

Is it just me, or is EVERYONE updating their Facebook status to having the sv and in terrifying detail!?
Like "been p***** since 7:40 last night now at ER" I mean REALLY!?!??!
Stay off Facebook,...

Drinking lots of water when not feeling that great makes it worse for me... Maybe try some herbal tea or something fizzy

Maybe it's anxiety?

Just try and relax, it's the panic that makes it scary, you can do this

Thanks! But here's my question, what if the particles the person touched (that they get sick from) are on their hands when they come in? Meaning they technically could be contagious or no?

When you guys talk about someone throwing up in your house how do you stay!? If my husband got silica I would be in the corner blocking my ears, I can't listen to it I would probably sleep outside.

What are all these meds people talk about? I can't take any kind of narcotic and also don't want to mask my phobia but am very curious as to what these meds are and how to get them? What do they do?

Does anyone know if this scenario is possible, let me preface by saying this is all triggered by one of my clients status updates stating she's got the sv and I cut her hair 4 days ago...
Can...

This gives me hope

thanks.

ok so Im a hairstylist and right now this VERY second, I have someone who is processing... she sits in my chair as I start to apply her color and says she has felt sick all day and that she feels...

First of all when I hear of anyone via Facebook getting sick I get minor anxiety. When it's a family member ( even if I haven't seen then in like 2 weeks) it's so much worse. My brother just had a sv...

I love this post

I get stomach cramps at night a lot, like subtle gas pains I feel like I'm creating them! I hate it, I'm on the couch right now at 12:30am because if I go to bed I feel like they get worse, probably...

We clearly should be friends! :)

Omg no no no! It's fine! I'm just pissed at this stupid phobia. I am SO SICK OF IT.
Sorry, nothing against you at all!
I just dread getting sick so much that when someone tells me they have I end...

I know this site is for people to feel support etc but when answering a question by saying how awful it was the last time you got sick is NOT HELPFUL TO ANYONE. It just makes us more paranoid! I hate...
