Please help. I am really scared!?!?!
Question: Hey. Ok so I am a HUGE emetophobe (fear of vomiting). Long story short. My lil bro got a stomach bug thing on Monday. Vomited twice and then dry heaved 8 times the whole night. Then on Wednesday my mom got it. Threw up 4 times. Then that same night, My dad was out. He came back at 12am. Then like and hour later, Had at stomach ache. And oddly enough he burped to try to shake it off. My mom said he then finally forced himself to get sick (stick his finger down his throat) But only really got sick once. They all 3 are doing fine today. Except for tiredness. my sis, other bro, me, and babysitter are all fine. So far.....I had a little burning sensation in my stomach today but I DO have an appitite. (idk if that has anything to do with anything). Do you think I have it!?!? I am so so so so scared. And I would seriously appriciate some comforting and reasuring answers. pleaseeee!!!!
thanks. In advance. :]]
P.S. I have not had ANY contact with ANY of them.

If you've not had any contact with any of them you probably haven't got it. The burning in your stomach is probably acid from the stress you have in worrying about the situation. Drink a glass of milk and calm down. If you have an appetite and you feel fine (other than the burning), you are probably just fine. The milk will help with the burning and the relaxing will help with the acid - you may even want to take a tums or rolaids. Take a deep breath, drink your milk and chill. :-)
there is a strong change you could get it still , if they use the toilet and you use the same one within the same day then you could pick it up ,
when i had a stomach bug i wasn't hungry so maybe your OK ,
if you start getting sick drink F.U.C.K.I.N.G loads of water as it will make it (vomit) less dense and easier to pass and make you feel a whole lot better
i know you don't like it but just think of it as your body getting rid of toxins
what you are experiencing is worry and you should not think about it to much. try and do things to take your mind of it. also ask the parmasist if they can suggest anything you could take as a preventative measure.
don't worry life is too short!
I felt the same way. I was scared of vomiting I felt like if I was going to die but really your not and actually when feeling sick vomiting makes you feel much better and takes off that bad stuff out of your system much faster. But don't forget to drink lots of liquids... Hope you feel better!
