    today at work, a girl was complaining she didnt feel well, she wasnt
    like complaining alot but just a general i cant be bothered attitude.
    As most emets do we like to know whats wrong when someone says they're
    feeling ill/been ill. And almost time freezes before they say their
    dreaded answer. You heart races as you expect the words 'i've been
    sick' etc etc. So as i did, i asked what was up she said 'oh i just
    feel sicky' i said oh right and kept away from her though i wasnt
    around her much to begin with. it was hot at work and we all feel n*
    for loads of reasons. could this be a sv* should i be worried? she was
    complaning about 1:30 and at 6pm when i left as far as i know she hadnt
    been physically ill!

    Hey,I wouldn't start worrying yet at all...Unless she is v or anything thne you have nothing to worry about...One if it was an sv then she wouldn't be contagious until she v'd and 2 she prob just doesnt feel well which could be for tons of reasons ( period, food, being hot in there, tired, hungry, cold, ) Try and stay calm, but still stay away and wash hands to protect yourself ( mostly from your own worries ) How is everything now?

    As Carolee says I'm sure it's fine. In my experience it seems that only very few cases of nausea end up with someone actually being sick. There areloads of things that can make someone feel a bit sick, and it also depends on the person. Most of my friends at Uni are thankfully strong stomached, and touch wood, the only time they've been sick is through too much alcohol (I've learnt not to worry about that). If they tell me they feel sick I hand them a glass of water and tell them to drink ginger tea and get some fresh air. It usually does the trick!
