tummy bugs about in winter i need to avoid them :(...... im over coming the swine flu but the thought of a tummy bug is killing me

The same precautions apply - use hand wash and keep away from anyone that is obviously ill.

I am replying to a thread and not creating a new one. Dear Sweetypie I'm sorry that you are worrying about the Autumn and catching a tummy bug. You sound as if you have overcome swine flu. Well done for doing that. I am concerned about swine flu but for me the likelihood of having a bout of major depression is greater in the Winter than catching swine flu. I hope that you come to this website for help and support.

I think it's a lottery when it comes to winter bugs, all you can do keep the hygiene up and steer of anyone with a bug

[sweetypie]

thank you guys my cbt suggested taking a formula that makes u vomit so much it gets you used to it but iv heard its not a good idea

yeah i overcome swine flu im so proud

Hi Sweetypie i always dread winter bugs as i work with kids but so far touch wood i have always managed to escape them! I always wash my hands with anti bac soap and hot water or hang gel when im out and take multi vitamins and echinacea to boost my immune system too! x

I've considered just not going out or eating or drinking or touching ANYTHING or seeing anyone. But this just isn't practical :wacko:

Well done on the swine flu sweetypie, I've had it too but very mild.

[sweetypie]

[Angelai]

cbt is hard, well done for actually trying xxx

I'm still on the waiting list...

Hope I don't sound thick - what is 5-htp?

[sweetypie]

he wanted to make to get this pill from doctors to make me vomit but i said no way i aint doing that but it was just a suggestion it is hard but it makes me you feel better for it

5-htp is a natural anti depressant
read up on it hunni cost me 12 pound from holland and barret iv heard its a really good thing to take for ocd panic and depression
i was speaking to the woman in holland and barret for ages about it there is good feedback for that stuff

[sweetypie]

oh and you dont sound thick hunni i didnt even no till someone mentioned it on here hehe xxxxx

[Anxious_gal]

did you get the flu shot?
maybe try the pharmacy or health store for things to boost your immune system

[sweetypie]

i dont think the flu shot works for vomiting bugs

iv been to holland and barrett but in the end they just gave me ocd tablets
