So, my mother had some kind of bacterial-viral-stomach-kinda-thing a few days ago. She v* 3 times and had diarrhea multiple times through out the 36-48 hours. I don't live at home with my parents, but had gone over after work to pick up some things and stay the night. When I found out she was sick, it took a <i>lot</i> of convincing for me to stay, but my father assured me she hadn't been in the spare bedroom at all, and she'd hardly journeyed downstairs. So, aside from only touching the TV remote control with a tissue, I didn't take any precautions. But I wasn't in contact with my mother at all until the next day when she felt better and told me she thought it was just something she ate.


She said that it started by having to do diarrhea <i>really bad</i> while shopping, and she did and then left for fear of having to do it again. And then, shortly after, she said her stomach felt weird and she was just very sick for a couple hours straight.


Well, I felt pretty confident that I was going to befine (I left Friday afternoon - she was s* Thursday/night), but just about an hour ago my stomach started getting all rumbley and it <i>wasn't</i> hungry. I can't say it <i>hurts</i>, but I'm so petrified! I'm going to lose my mind if I get diarrhea, because that's how it started for her!


Please help! Is it likely that I got it from her, even though we had VERY VERY limited contact? I'm terrified that I got it from her, or someone else and that I won't be able to avoid v*ing!!!!


Gah! I hate this, because IF this blows over, I'll feel all embarrassed about blowing this out of proportion!!!
