a little nervous

[baseballplaya12]

About a month ago i heard of a couple cases of the "bug" in my area...but now you are all saying that it gets bad around feb-march and its making me really nervous sometimes i think this site helps but sometimes i think it makes me worse....

well it all depends on where you are. I mean think aobut it. since i live in a dorm i really have to worry about it starting to go around, being that i share a bathroom with people. You dont have to worry about that. all you have to do is wash your hands, and dont touch your face!

it's okay! try not to worry too much!! i know it's hard.
please respond to my poll!

Don't worry, its mainly going around the uk (and basketball is American I think...) Anyway, I had it and it was just d* for me. I think us emets have built up a resistance anyway.

I had something like that, and it was only a little n* and a couple bouts of d* and a generally icky/tired feeling. I only felt reeaaallly bad when my period started while I had it, and I was going nuts with anxiety and emet.

Im in ireland and i unfortunately got it. v* and d*!

[baseballplaya12]

how did you react to that...? and where in chicago im from highland park

[jptk]

Do you mean my reaction? Well, it was a shock at first, i couldnt believe it actually happened. And after it happened my anxiety went away cause The worst had happened. But my anxiety came back first thing in the morning and now im still really anxious and it was almost 2 weeks ago. Thats just me though, that dosnt mean youll react the same way. It could happen to you and then your fear might be gone!

[baseballplaya12]

i mean like was it really as bad as you thought it would be?

[harmonygirl72]

I'm in Park Ridge! Not too far!!

The worst is living in a small town, I am always hearing about everybody being sick and with what. I don't start feeling better intil late May, hopefully the snow is gone andit is warm. I caught the stomach flu 2 years ago at the end of May, it wasn't fun with it for 4 days. Summer can't come soon enough!
