I'm so sorry your mum said that to you!

Sorry - I didn't mean to make you afraid to drink water. It's just that I think gulping water down can annoy the stomach when you have already v*d. Sipping little bits is okay. If you are really thirsty you should drink because you don't want to get dehydrated.

How long were your family members ill with it for? It could well be that the worst is already over for you. The chest pain is not necessarily an indication it will happen again. Did you feel relief after you v*d? xxx
