So, for some reason my emetophobia is worse this year than it's ever been.
My soon started school last year and he caught a bug the day before he was due to break up for Xmas holidays. I was a bit of a wreck but glad he'd got it out the way for Xmas, my husband was ill a few days later (just sick once but felt off it for a couple of days) and I had a bit of a dodgy tummy on Xmas day but I put that down to lobster I had as it's the second time it's happened after eating that.
Anyway, fast forward to this past week knowing the dreaded norovirus is about again (I presume that's what it is). I have had several breakdowns over the fear of catching it. A few people from work have had cramps, diarrhoea and feeling sick. A couple of kids from my sons school are off even my mum has had it and she's never ill! My friend whose daughter is in my sons class has text me to say her daughter has been unwell with bad pains and threw up just once last night. Also another child who is pretty resilient and never ill.
I'm not even on Facebook or anything and I'm still hearing about so many people being poorly it's frightening the life out of me! My husband is away tonight and Saturday too and I'm praying if it strikes it's not when he's away.
I do have some domperidone but I don't know if it would work for a sickness bug. It sounds bad because I'm absolutely terrified of it but if I'm going to get it I want it sooner rather than Xmas to get it out the way.
When my son was at nursery he never caught a bug even when it had a sign up saying there are cases of D&V. He had one last year when he started school does this mean he will get it every year now? I'm so so scared I can't handle it!
Why do people take great pleasure in talking about how many people have got it and how bad it is when you get it!
