I spoke to my old doctor (I'm a travel agent and booked a trip for him) yesterday and just had to ask him what illnesses seem to be going around. Of course he said svs*, flu, and other upper respitory infections. So I started to get a little nervous but not too bad. Then I spoke to a friend today who knows 2 people that had v* and d* just within the last week. UGH!!!


I have a 5 year old daughter who caught it at school back in November and I'm just so scared that she's going to get it again! At night I amso anxious and scared that she's going to wake up and be sick. It's a horrible way to live your life and I wish this fear would just go away. I'm actually not afraid of her v*ing. I feel bad for her and get through taking care of her when she's sick(even though inside I'm having a major panic attack) but the worst fear for me is catching it myself. I pray every night before bed that we make it through the night without v*ing. I notice other people here do that too. It must be an emet thing.


I hate the winter and for some reason February seems to be when this ugly sv* is at it's worst and now that February is here I'm really panicing. I'm almost 7 months pregnant and really can't afford physically at this point to lose sleep over this - or to get sick for that matter.


Thanks for listening. I'm just venting since my husband doesn't want to hear about "my stupid fear" anymore. He is not supportive at all and most of my friends/family feel the same since they don't actually have the fear.


I hope that you and your families stay healthy!
