I went to Disney Land last summer and didn't get the SV (went in the Fall) but did get a cold. I probably breathed in the molecules from someone else's sneeze or cough. No SV, though!

Though the symptoms are the same, strains can vary person to person based on many aspects - it is just the way viruses and bacteria morph so unfortunately, you can get it again and again. Though I...

Thank you! This sort of thing has happened to me before but not really with the cramps before needing to go and a dull stomachache - those "extras" freak me out!

Though I totally agree with Syrup and I tell myself the above ALL the time, when I get into moments like you're in right now where I think, "this is it!" those logical thoughts go out the window, and...

Like Claire said, the stomach flu (noro) and influenza are two totally different illnesses. If you're coughing/sneezing/fever/chills it sounds more like influenza. Take emetrol or a dramamine before...

*hugs* I have had my fair share of breakups and they suck. I can tell you though, I am now engaged to a wonderful man who cares for me, doesn't bring drama into our relationship, and is all around...

Glad you were able to see it wasn't the end of the world! : ) That's a huge step - seriously! Nice job!

I am dealing with this right now so I can totally relate and I want to start off by saying I am sorry you're dealing with this.

Like SoVerySorry mentioned, distractions ARE great!! I use some of...

*hugs* It's fairly unlikely that if you gave it to him you will catch it again. But still, take the proper hand washing procedures and take care of yourself! I know it's easier said than done, but...

*hugs*
It's true that if it was noro it could still be in her intestines (you know what I mean!) Just take the proper hand-washing precautions you normally would! It may have been something else,...

I totally feel you! Last weekend we went to a nice restaurant and when I walked into the restroom to wash my hands, the manager was in there cleaning what looked to be v* out of the sink! Needless to...

One thing that stuck out to me was asking your mom if you've eaten a lot that day. I remember one time we had a babysitter over at our house and she made cookies. We never ate dessert at our house so...

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words and am taking to heart all you have said and allowing it to help me make a better decision about my undergrad! *hugs*

When you say chicken tender do you mean a friend chicken tender? It is VERY hard to get salmonella poisoning from fried food because unlike grilling, for instance, restaurants generally have timers...

Just read your reply! I have IBS to and just knowing I suffer from it has helped me a lot with my anxiety. Instead of thinking, "Oh my gosh I must have gotten food poisoning, I am going to be sick!"...

Emetrol always helps me with overindulgence as does Gas-X as it can help get some of the gas out and alleviate some of the pressure you feel from being full. If you're feeling really full I actually...

Glad you're feeling better. This just happened to me and I am writing from the bathroom. I like being in here listening to water knowing if something happens I am in here by myself. I had a similar...
