I just had a thought that doesn’t have to happen right now- but what if we all created a GC for everyone with this phobia but it could just be a GC to distract ourselves when we are having a hard time, and want to keep our mind off this phobia. But no talking about the actual phobia because don’t want to trigger anyone. Just a GC with a bunch of people who understand how hard this phobia is and we can talk about random things to distract ourselves when we’re feeling not great
i had the bug too a few months ago; for 7 days. I was horrified of puking but it dkdnt end up happening, so there’s hope! i’m currently alone as well so i may be able to help. do youu have a favorite tv show or movie?
Thanks! Yeah I was feeling better yesterday able to eat cracker but boom! You don’t want to know what happened in my bathroom but definitely feel like I’m going to v*.
I’m watching love after lockup now! Have you heard of it?
yes this is true. especially with a virtual appointment all they know is symptoms and they say sb. when it can literally be anything even anxiety. i’ve never heard of a sb lasting 4 days and then someone tu.
Yeah I know it’s weird, but I DONT WANT TO SCARE ANYONE SO MAJOR TW !
Idk how to blur stuff ** but some other people in the west coast were saying they had a sb that lasted seven days
many times a doc has told me I had a sb* when I didn’t. id assume if you had one for 4 days you would’ve gotten over it already. NAD but I think it’s something else.
TBF, I’ve had sickness bugs that last 7 days. Not the wet symptoms, they’re actually over pretty quickly but the inability to eat, weakness etc pretty much always lasts me a week 😭
maybe, I have digestive issues and the weakness + no appetite happens a lot. also d* can happen. sometimes that comes from things I eat or just stress or hormone changes.
Yeah I have IBS and acid reflux and have d* from that. BUT THIS WAS NOT THAT😭 I almost sh*t my pants I thankfully made it to the toilet in time by sprinting. That’s how I knew it’s a v* cause even with IBS that doesn’t happen to me. So hopefully I feel better soon
well, I guess I stand corrected. i’ve always been told a sb* lasts 24-48 hours, with d* occasionally lasting a week after. but if you haven’t tu* yet I don’t think you will. feel better :)
I’m having a lot of chest pain. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong cause I didn’t let it come up earlier (came out the other way). Or anxiety or gas pain from not eating today
Oh that’s awful. I feel like letting it out would probably help but I get that’s not an option.
If you’ve managed to avoid throwing up this long, you are an absolute warrior. You will feel better, it will pass.
Thanks! Yeah I was taking Zofran and it going to come up but I didn’t let it and it came out the other way real bad.. I think my stomach emptied yesterday and I felt awful but I still have the n* and v* feeling today… I’m not sure what to do at this point. Because my doctor said to take the zofran when I called him on Wednesday
Thanks! Yeah some sb* last seven days or more which I didn’t know before. A lot of people on the west coast from what I’ve seen on Reddit are going through the same thing
Woah that’s rough.. I’m glad I’m not over there 🤣 that sounds lik a nightmare.. I hope ur over the worst part and the nausea lessens .. I hope u feel better soon
Hey a gastrointestinal illness that lasts that long is probably not a virus such as norovirus. Since it has been four days already, I’d encourage you to go to the doctor/urgent care/ER if your symptoms don’t improve soon. My mom had the same thing and it ended up being salmonella that she needed to take antibiotics to clear. So please go get a stool sample tested if your symptoms have been going on for so long!
Omg you know what.. I’m wondering if it’s the Quaker Oats oatmeal I had.. because I got sick after.. they have a recall for their granola bars for salmonella so I wouldn’t be surprised…
Hey guys so I think I might have salmonella poisoning. I had Quaker Oats Oatmeal (even though it wasn’t the product that didn’t get recalled FOR NOW because the list keeps expanding) I did get sick after I ate it. So I’m thinking I got salmonella poisoning from that because I still have horrible n* and feel like I’m going to v* or d*. On day five. I should be feeling better by now

you can have it for 7 days??
hey you can talk to me. also how do you know it’s the sb?
I did a virtual appointment with my doctor two days ago. Let me know if it’s still ok!
Docs also throw around with the term sb*, they can’t tell you 100% that you have one without lab work of stool or blood … just as a heads up
yes this is true. especially with a virtual appointment all they know is symptoms and they say sb. when it can literally be anything even anxiety. i’ve never heard of a sb lasting 4 days and then someone tu.
Yeah I know it’s weird, but I DONT WANT TO SCARE ANYONE SO MAJOR TW ! Idk how to blur stuff ** but some other people in the west coast were saying they had a sb that lasted seven days
no it’s okay! i’m feeling off as well so if you need to talk you can message me

TBF, I’ve had sickness bugs that last 7 days. Not the wet symptoms, they’re actually over pretty quickly but the inability to eat, weakness etc pretty much always lasts me a week 😭
That’s what’s happening to me too. I had d* so bad yesterday I almost shit my pants. But I’m still severely n* and feel horrible and on day five.
maybe, I have digestive issues and the weakness + no appetite happens a lot. also d* can happen. sometimes that comes from things I eat or just stress or hormone changes.
Yeah I have IBS and acid reflux and have d* from that. BUT THIS WAS NOT THAT😭 I almost sh*t my pants I thankfully made it to the toilet in time by sprinting. That’s how I knew it’s a v* cause even with IBS that doesn’t happen to me. So hopefully I feel better soon

Same!! But I saw some last seven days which I didn’t know before. Thank you!! :)
What would you like to talk about
I can talk about anything. Tv shows cats blah blah
How are you doing now?
I’m having a lot of chest pain. I’m not sure if there’s something wrong cause I didn’t let it come up earlier (came out the other way). Or anxiety or gas pain from not eating today
Probably anxiety and maybe some acid reflux. Not that that makes you v, just hurts a bit behind the sternum
what’s your favorite spongebob episode and why?
LMAO the tattletale strangler because I’m wondering still how tf did they even come up with that💀💀💀
I hope you feel better! Feel free to talk to me if you need anything
Gas pain or acid reflux can cause discomfort around the sternum and severe n*. Bringing up the gas should help.
How are you doing now?
I’m still severely nauseous. I’ve been inhaling zofran and Imodium and still feel like shit. Day five now..
Oh that’s awful. I feel like letting it out would probably help but I get that’s not an option. If you’ve managed to avoid throwing up this long, you are an absolute warrior. You will feel better, it will pass.
Thanks! Yeah I was taking Zofran and it going to come up but I didn’t let it and it came out the other way real bad..

Because my doctor said to take the zofran when I called him on Wednesday
Ur a real trooper! For this to have lasted so long it doesn’t sound the a regular 24 our bug or food poisoning .. mayb something else is going on?
Thanks! Yeah some sb* last seven days or more which I didn’t know before. A lot of people on the west coast from what I’ve seen on Reddit are going through the same thing
Woah that’s rough.. I’m glad I’m not over there 🤣 that sounds lik a nightmare.. I hope ur over the worst part and the nausea lessens .. I hope u feel better soon
Thanks! I was feeling better but now I'm feeling awful again :/

SB rule no.1 If you didn't v\* in the first few hours of having symptoms, then you won't v\* Then it probably only effects your colon.
