Thanks for replying and it helps a lot to hear you made it on your own. That is my biggest problem with this fear. I'm not sure why. I guess when people are scared of something it's more calming to face the fear with someone by your side. That's great that your boyfriend takes care of you. Sounds like a nice guy who obviously has no fear of being around germs. My husband dosn't get grossed out by anything so he's right there with me when I feel sick. He wants me to vomit so I will see there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm sure if I was vomiting he would be cheering me on!


I think you are ok now. I would be scared to eat and don't let that discourage you from feeling success. People that don't have this fear also get scared to eat right away after being really sick. I was told by a doctor a long time ago that after having a stomach bug you have to eat light for the first 48 hours and then after that if you crave something, eat it. If you are craving it then you are better. What helped me get better was sleep. Get lots of sleep and water. Hope you feel better and thanks again for sharing...
