    Hi. Is your throat sore? I think if you've been feeling nauseous for so long you would have been sick by now. And if you haven't eaten much it probably means there's nothing to bring up anyway. It's good that your fevers down though.But remember what you are going through just now isn't pleasant, but you are GETTING THROUGH IT. And it'll be over soonso just keep on going.


    And you'll be OK

    Just because you feel nauseous you won't be sick. I know when I get a fever I always feel queasy, but I never throw up. You are sick, andpeoples body reacts to sickness different. When I had the true flu, I just had a headach fever and chills. I felt nausous here and there but never v*. My mom got the same thing, and v* a couple times. So I wouldn't worry. If you were to be sick, you would have sick already by now. Just keep taking tylonel to bring your fever down and you should be fine. I hope you feel better soon, I know it sucks, but you probalby made it through the worst part.

    Aww, I hope you feel better soon! How's your mom feeling? That might give you an idea of how long it lasts then you can at least see and end in sight. Just remember everyone is different just because your mom got sick doesnt' mean you will, yours seems to be more the other end. Let us know how you're doing!

    Oh no...I hope you feel better soon. The rotavirus is going around in my area. That affects kids MUCH WORSE than adults. I am sure you will be ok!


    Keep us posted!

    OMG. You threw up? I can't even imagine. So was it worth all of the anxiety? Sometimes when I feel fine, I wish I could just v**, but when I actually feel a little sick, the thought of v* makes me panic. I'm so proud of you, you got through it. I am jealous.

    Poor thing[img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]Just try to stay still, it will help your stomach to settle. And since you have a bug, no use worrying now. Instead just keep telling yourself-"tomorow, I'll feel a little better, Saturday, i'll feelmuch better and next week at this time, I'll be saying-thank God it is'nt last week at this time"

    I know, I literally have woken up in the morning and gone to bed at night pondering that same question. If the sv bugs are not air bourne, and you have to be in close contact-like shareing food via utensils ect., or if someone was to v* on you or something. I really wish I knew exactly how it spreads! Imagine all the greif we could save ourselves!And also the timing-it's supposed to be you get it from 12-72 hours but I hear of lots of people that a whole week goes by and they get it. Emily,I hope you start to feel better soon. If you could get to a Dr., Compazine might work better than Dramamine.

    EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE I FEEL A TWINGE OF HUNGER, WHAT ARE GOOD THINGS TO EAT? COMMERCIALS FOR FOOD ARE NOT BOTHERING ME AND I GUESS I DO FEEL SLIGHTLY HUNGRY MAYBE? ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

    I would stick to white bread or saltine crckers. Something very mild. And drink sprite or ginger ale.

    I'm proud of you! you have accomplished something. However, i
    dont' think your sickness made you wretch. I think it was
    actually the fact that you have not eaten, combined with the queasiness
    of a fever and such. Have some crackers or toast maybe?
    start slow. i'm sure you'll start feeling better soon.




    Do what your heart tells you to-- even when your fears tell you not to.

    Just continue to nibble on crackers and sip room temperature ginger ale. If you haven't eaten, the reason the shower made you feel bad is because you are so weak. Just take it slow.

    Have you v* since yesterday? I'm sure the worst is over. Just try and rest and watch a little tv to get your mind off of feeling yucky. Can you eat anything? Even if its just a little jello to raise your blood sugar. Ginger ale is best to drink. There is also a tummy tamer ginger tea by celestial seasons-but I've never tried it.Hang in there Sweetie, keep telling yourself"next week at this time, I'll be all better".&nbs p; [img]smileys/smilies_08.gif[/img]
