Hi guys,

Last time I posted was about 6 months ago (ish), I was dating someone who became ill and didn't understand emetophobia and essentially told me to get over it. So I cut all ties with her. Anyways, my reason for posting now is that my sister threw up earlier this week, my parents are telling me its because of a reaction she had with a new pill she took for a headache.

She was sick for a few days after the incident, but not throwing up. I guess she had stomach cramps or something, but no diarrhea or vomiting, and she just overall felt crappy. So my question to those of you who are well informed on this topic is...do you all think she had a stomach virus, specifically norovirus? I'm inclined to believe that she did, only because I'm paranoid. But looking at the facts, rationality says that she didn't have the virus, only because she threw up one time and that was it. But I guess that's why they call phobias irrational fears.

Anyways, thanks for the help folks. I'm really struggling with not only vomiting but also being around anyone who is sick in any form...I guess the phobia is developing further. Lovely. I've been hiding in my bedroom for the past few days because I'm unsure of what my sister has, hopefully you guys can ease my nerves and say its not norovirus!

Thanks again!
