My littlest drinks water fast after tea and then says her tummy hurts too. Once the next course comes she's all over it though! It's no good for the nerves though is it, just too much .
Sometimes if I’ve starved myself and have hunger pains and then eat it goes straight through me. As if my body’s not expecting it so doesn’t know what to do it just presses eject!
close to losing my tit at the moment because of the massive norovirus epidemic. I’m sleeping terribly because I’m constantly terrified that my son with start with it. He is FIFTEEN YEARS OLD and I am still this scared. I wish there was another toilet in my house - we just have one bathroom and no en suite or downstairs loo, so I get really panicky about us having to share a bathroom when one of us has a D&V bug.
I have IBS and I spent my teen years and twenties in a panic because of it. I take anti-anxiety tablets now and one of the side effects is constipation so I thoroughly recommend medication for two reasons - lack of diarrhoea and taking the edge off the permanent drama going on in my head!Hello fellow vom crazies (no offence meant to anyone - this phobia really does feel like a form of insanity a lot of the time). I’ve had this horrible fear for 35 years of my life and I swear it will be the death of me. I am THIS
I completely relate to every single one of you. It’s unbearable isn’t it? And since my son was a baby and caught it in the run up to Christmas, it’s ruined December and Christmas for me because the anxiety completely takes over my brain.
Here is a blatant bid for sympathy because only you guys will understand: over the past few years I have developed a lot of food intolerances to common ingredients and if I eat anything that doesn’t agree with me, I end up with diarrhoea anything from 4-24 hours later. This has irritated my bowel so much that I also get randomly alternating constipation and diarrhoea, so sometimes even if I haven’t eaten anything that doesn’t agree with me I have diarrhoea. Basically I have no up with the shits at least twice a week and every single time I panic that it’s a bug because it’s very difficult to tell the difference. I am a wreck.
Thank you. I’ve been thinking recently that I really need to be taking some form of anti anxiety meds again. I used to take sertraline and it took the edge off a bit. But I’m putting it off because I know it makes me really nauseous for the first week and I can’t cope with that while noro is doing the rounds.
I thank god haven’t seen any scare articles in the news about noro but I find it comforting to remind myself it is all year round and this article someone posted a while back (sorry I can’t remember who did it) gives me comfort too

Thanks for posting that, really good info. Shame the hand sanitiser they mention doesn't seem to be available in the UK, that would have really calmed me down. Very comforting that as long as you wash your hands before eating, get hot food in restaurants and don't stand next to anyone vomiting (I literally run for the hills if this happens anyway), you'll not contract the damn thing.I thank god haven’t seen any scare articles in the news about noro but I find it comforting to remind myself it is all year round and this article someone posted a while back (sorry I can’t remember who did it) gives me comfort too

I get a hand sanitizer from Amazon that kills noro it's called nilaqua
I buy the “Clinell” range. Amazon also. Hospitals use it and it kills noro. I’ve spend probably over £200 on the range. Wipes, hand wipes, house spray, hand sanitizer. I’m mad I know but it’s a comfort blanket to me and it’s what I’ll be wiping the aircraft seats down with at the weekend
