    It could be something he ate or maybe just a bad headache or something. You honestly never know for sure what has made him V*. Just stay away from his fluids and keep him contained to a bedroom/ bathroom.


    You will get through this. Go out and get him some crackers and sprite/ ginger ale/ 7up.

    We're both in the same room, because it's only a one-room apartment. We
    shared a bottle of Coke just a few hours ago or so. And he v* again.



    I'm shaking and crying so much right now.

    Honestly- it sounds like what I had yesterday. Out of the blue I just felt extremely nauseous, to the point that I vomitted, even after I took an anti-emetic. I felt nauseous for a few hours afterwards, and then was fine. It could really be anything- and it may not necessarily be contagious.


    I say go outside for a quick walk- as purple suggested, get him some ginger ale, crackers- anything that gets you out of the apartment for awhile. I know that being outside usually calms me down a bit.


    When you are ready to go back in, do so. Don't assume that you are going to catch what he has. Keep yourself clean, and clean the bathroom when you get the chance. Also, tonight try to sleep apart- whether you sleep on the bed and he the couch, or vice-versa. I have a bachelor apartment myself, and my boyfriend was over when he was sick- nerve-wracking to say the least. It really, really, REALLY sucks.....but you can do it.

    Treat it as though it is contagious. More than likely he has some kind of infection. It may not be a sv (and it does not sound like one). If you caught it, you may have all the other symptoms and not v**. However, treat it like it is a sv to try and avoid catching it.


    Remember all symptoms are not the same for everyone. Think of when everyone in your family catch the same cold. One person may breeze through it, another my develop a horrible cough and another may get a sinus infection. Each virus, while it may have similar DNA, may not react the same with each person. Some people get a virus and act as host. They transmit it and never get sick themselves.

    Now, I really think it is, which makes me freak out even more. He has
    v* three or four times now, and I'm trying my best to help him without
    getting near, so to speak, and wash my hands alot.

    He's much better, after a night of v*, he just felt really really tired and slept alot and just felt drained.



    I still haven't caught it, three days later, so I really hope the incubation time isn't more then two days.
