I avoid cruises at all costs because of my experience with norovirus.

If a friend tells me anyone in their family has been puking, I don’t want to see them for a month.

I have so much anxiety about getting noro! I haven’t vomited in nearly 20 years, and I’d really like to keep it that way. But I’m an infectious disease epidemiologist, so I’m very aware of the threat and especially how infectious noro is

I have emetaphobia. I always fear noro. However now that I am in therapy, I know that every year the news talks about it non stop and causes a lot of the anxiety.

I am with you. Someone could tell me over the phone that they have it and I’d immediately be nauseous.

This is hands down the worst virus/sickness I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. Id rather snap my leg in half and deal with the year long recovery than 2-3 days of this again. Unbearable.

Why can’t someone who doesn’t have Emetophobia just for once say “hey don’t worry it’s not that bad” 😭😭

Everett Maureen :
I unknowingly had supra-ventricular tachycardia for decades and it was triggered by any severe GI upset (either end). I didn’t know it was my heart and thought I was having panic attacks (partly because doctors kept telling me that I was having panic attacks and I actually admitted myself to a psych ward to try to get control of my “anxiety”). It finally almost caused to me to crash my car and that got their attention enough to put a Holter on me for a week and I had an ablation within weeks of that, so am now cured. But now I have so much PTSD from it that the mere mention of norovirus, causes me so much anxiety. Logically, I know I won’t have an SVT episode because I know my heart is cured, but my subconscious doesn’t believe it. I have to remind myself that it is okay, it is a temporary discomfort, I know how to hydrate, everyone goes through this, my heart won’t race, etc.

When I find out someone I've been around has it, I'm literally terrified to eat. I guess I figure if there's nothing in my stomach it won't be that bad? At the very least, I won't have a lifelong aversion to a food I really like.

We went skiing once with another family, 5 kids between us, and go snowed in. My son had picked up Norovirus, and it went through the cabin like wildfire

Serth :
I’ve had severe emetophobia since I was a child, and it has caused me many panic attacks. Psychosomatic nausea kept me out of school for months as an adolescent. I started taking anti-psychotics for their antiemetic properties, but the side-effects were pretty severe (tardive dyskinesia). As the years went by I realized I could experience Norovirus without emesis by holding my breath and entering a zen-like state of calm. I figured out how to block what is generally considered an uncontrollable reflex. But then in the last year I started developing agoraphobia and it included pretty acute nausea, but having Zofran on hand seems to have almost completely eliminated it.

I had norovirus last Jan and I was in the hospital for 25 days. They had me on pressers in the ER and my HR wouldn’t go above 50 for days. I thought I was going to die.
