bug or eaten something bad???????????????????????

[jadepanic]

Right ok,i will try to explain..my cousin came round yesterday very briefly (about 10 mins) and then she left but today she has told me her sister who she lives with (my other cousin) was sick in the night (last night) and a couple of times today...my first thought was "oh shit, my cousin could have brought a bug round if her sister has one".but their mum is saying they think its something she ate as she wanted this chocolate whipped cream stuff yesterday evening,but when they examined it,all over the lid was mould...but they thought it was okay to eat the stuff inside anyway...as it was just on the lid....could it have been due to this or is it more likely a bug??I am panicking so so much,i have 3 children and i have extreme emetophobia...i cant stop thinking about this.I'm panicking sooooo badly and i'm afraid to eat.her sister and mum didn't eat it and they ae not ill (yet anyway)...she kissed me and my mum on the cheek when she came round to say bye...could i get it?? what do u guys think it was??absolutly terrified right now and i keep thinking my tummy is hurting me!!

[jadepanic]

Anybody please!?!? i'm ever so frightend and I have know one to talk to...my family just says "don't be so silly"

[olschesky]

i would think that since her sister didn't get sick until after she was at your house there's no way you could catch it. the person isn't contagious until v or d.....and then you would have to get the particles on you or your children in order to get a sv. also if you've kept your hands away from your face you should be fine....

try not to panic....i know it's hard....i do the same thing when i hear someone i've been around has been sick.....but i really think you will be fine

do you know its awfull that this post has been viewed 25 times but yet only one person has got back to me,thank you to you but i need some help.i am afraid.

You have not been exposed. The chances of you becoming ill from that brief encounter with your non-sick cousin are extremely slim. I know it's hard not to let your brain go to that "worst case" scenario, but honestly, I think you will be just fine.

First, its okay to fast for a little while so don't sweat not eating. If you were gonna get sick, then you would not get hungry. An appetite is usually a sign you are not sick, so eat light once yosu feel hungry. as far as your nerves go, try to do something you are really good at and busy yourself with it. This might get the constant fear and obsession out of your mind. In fact, i will keep myself busy (such as reading) until i start to doze so i can go right to sleep and not think. Thinking is your enemy right now. Also, you have better chances at winning the lottery than getting sick. Try concentrating on breathing while you are busying yourself. This will relax you. Hopes this helps. You can beat the curse!

however,today i ate a McDonalds chicken burger as had slight stomach pains and thought it was hunger.also i have been told i need to gain weight as my bmi is 16 when it should be about 25 for my height.but now 3 hours later i still feel soooo overly full and my tummy has slight discomforting pains...I have taken 2 anti-emetic tablets (the right dose for my tablets) about an hour ago if not more and its supposed to help with bloating feeling and nausea but its not helping me.I dont no waht it is and what the discomfort is...bsolutly petrified its a bug....please someone help me.

[damean29]

Jade, at all costs AVOID McDonalds! you probably have indegestion bcuz that food is so fake and heavily processed! I'm not sure about your weight but if you want to increase your BMI in a healthy way, you need to increase your intake of healthy fats - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, but mostly mono. Try (some people find this gross but i do not) drinking a- 2 tablespoons of EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil and taking fish oils everyday.

If the anti emetics haven't worked, chances are any symptoms are caused by your anxiety. If you were really ill, they would have had some effect. So try and do something to take your mind off things.

i didnt no McDonalds would be so bad for me as i am not overweight already...I am a size 6 in english weight...which is a size 25 waist...anyway,my nurse weighed me and since feb (when i had an bmi of 18) i have gone down to 16...should be 25 apparently.they say that if i dont put on weight they will hospitilise me and MAKE me put on the weight...so i am trying to put on weight by eating more calories,thought this was right thing to do.but as over the years my stomach has shrank i find it very hard to eat,as i feel so full and uncomfortable afterwards,and i constantly think that if I'm full it will all ome back out.I am having slight pains though in my stomach and im terrified its a bug.HELP!! thanks to all who has responded.

Damean...I have herd that eating oil can make you vomit??

[damean29]

Oil make you V*? Well i guess we all have our fears. For me its most condiments. But olive oil is natural and very healthy oil that has been used for thousands of years. Oils, anyways, are found in every single food, every single one that is not a fake fat free food that is. Our bodies need it for many reasons from maintaining correct horomone levels - blood - the HEART, etc. You can look it up if you want. Besides the real reason i take olive oil is to maintain a balanced diet - each meal i try to consumer 30%protein, 40% carbs, and 30% fat. I have read that this diet helps maintain healthy horomone levels and can help mitigate against anxiety, stress, etc. This diet is also suppose to prevent indegstion, bloating, and fullness, since those are symptoms of overeating and incorrect balances of protein, carbs, and fats.
