So i have been wondering lately how much of this crap is in my head and how much is that I am really physically not feeling well. Do i make myself not feel well? Am I so stinking scared of getting a SV that I always feel like i have one? I am currently not feeling well and havent all day. It seems like things get worse when I really pay attention to things that are going on around me. For example, lately it seems like at every turn I hear of someone being sick. Right before Thanksgiving my friend replied to my post on FB that her kids are sick with an SV. Then Thanksgiving day my Dad told me that his friend had been up sick all night Ving. Then, my husband said he asked the neighbor if she was going to go shopping on Black Friday and she said no because she always ends up sick when she does (he told me this as we were black friday shopping!) Then to top it off, my son's friend came over and was hanging out with him and my little ones all day. When we were telling him it was time to go he told my son that his mom had dropped him off on our island because she had gotten sick yesterday and didnt want to be bothered today. Plus she didnt want him to catch what she has. The kid was also at my house last night and i had to take him home. What the heck is wrong with that lady. She already exposed this kid and then sent him to my house where i have small children! Anyway, so now i am wondering...are these warnings for me to stay on my guard? Somethings to remind me that although i havent had a SV in awhile, I am not invincible? I just keep wondering how crazy am I that these little things that people tell me are warnings to me? If i even feel the slightest bit "off" I automatically assume that i am coming down with something. If my stomach grumbles the slightest bit I know for sure its going to happen. I must have a SV or something. Am i really feeling the waves of nausea everyday? Is there a hidden reason for the nausea or is it all in my head?
How common are SVs? Will my hand sanitzer and my excessive handwashing really work? Can I really depend on Antiemetics to prevent me from Ving? If you have an SV is it for sure that you will always V? Also I am getting less and less sleep now that its the time of year for SVs to run rampid through my kids' schools. I have always feared waking up in the middle of the night with the need to V. That happened to me as a kid and i think that may have been the beginning of my emet. I stay up late at night because i think that if i can make it pretty late and not feel sick then I must be in the clear. I know this is weakening my immune system cause you must sleep and eat to stay healthy.
Does anyone else feel sick daily? Is this in my head? Or is there really something wrong?
