More Worry

[rapturerocks]

Well, this virus is still going around the school, but I'm not sure
what it's like (I haven't had any contact with people showing symptoms,
simply by luck). I have read online about norovirus which seems to fit
the bill in a few regards: firstly that it's easiest to catch it with
close personal contact, and that a person is only infectious after
symptoms have shown.



All that places me more outside the likelihood of getting it than I thought.



The bad side is that norovirus is described as a stomach virus with frequent v* often without warning.</span></span>



V* without warning seems proposterous to me, as I've never experienced
it without like day long stomach aches, and the only time I've had it
was when I woke up V*ing, but even then I went to sleep with a stomach
ache.



I asked a friend of the person infected, and she said the warning was very slight with him.



Anyway, has anyone experienced no-warning V*?

The closest I've came to a v* with no warning senario was about an hour from feeling yuck, to the time of v*.


This is very fast, at least from what I know. The only times I have ever had that truely happen, is when I was preganant, and even then I had a good minute or two before the actual v*ing started!


Hope this helps.

PS...My aunt/best friend and her fiancee, and her three kids all had norovirus two weeks ago. They felt like crap for a good 6 hours before anything "happened", and they actually only v*ed 1-3 times. Not as drastic as they put in the papers, huh?

GRAPHIC AT POINTS-

i have experienced no-warning V* before...i was about maybe 8 or 9 years old..and i was sleeping with my gramma cause i remember my younger sister was v* already with an sv or somthing, i felt a bit thirsty, so i headed upstairs for a drink..then all of a sudden before i got up to the stairs..i v* but swallowed it again..then i went up the stairs about half way up i v* again this time it came up..and i never felt n* once..i ended up goin to the emergency room that night too..

i have had no warning v* before. It was 18 months ago, i was 20 at the time. I had no stmach ache, no dizziness or fever. Just all of a sudden thought omg and it happened, i had no time to run anywhere. This happened 18 times in 6 hours, i was very poorly. In a way i preferred it, as i had none of the anxiety build up of the stomach ache and analysing it etc. I had to walk round with a bucket permanently lol!

What caused your illness? Did you ever find out? Sounds horrific... WOW!!! I now understand a little more why you have emet...

I agree....that isa serious something. I have rarely heard of anyone being that sick from a sv.


Once, though, my mom had sv, and I remember her phoning me at my friends house and saying "don't come home tonight, I have the flu". I was a mess, and I HAD to go home, it was my comfort zone. I slept on the love seat and my mom on the couch. Whenever she got (I knew where she was going) I would throw on my headphones and turn on a relaxation tape so I wouldn't have to hear "it".


She v*ed about 25 times, in 24 hours. That is the worst I have every seen or heard about.
