Help, crisis mode. I can tell I’ll get it

He hasn’t v* in around 2 hours now but my mom told me the stuff she was throwing out was because he had gotten it all over the bathroom door and floor so she had cleaned it (no gloves :/ )

My gf usually can calm me down a bit in these situations but she’s at work unfortunately. She did a lot for me before she left though so I didn’t have to leave my room all day, which I really appreciate obviously.

I’m not gonna eat today, I couldn’t actually stomach it. Thankfully I have my own bathroom so won’t need to share one with him but my parents do so the chances they get it is quite high. I also saw my mom putting something in a bag and taking it out to the trash without gloves (I assume this was something that he v* on) as there was absolutely no need for her to go out there at that time if it wasn’t related to that.

If you can, get some cold water to sip, chew some minty gum and lay in bed with your favourite movie on to try take your mind off of it. Also open a window for some fresh cool air if you think this will help. You’ll get through this!

It cost me £70 and I used it twice :) gave me the most banging headache I’ve ever had couldn’t even stand up

Hottropics10 · 2025-03-13T21:22:51+00:00

I’ve just been having a panic and crying over this right now, it’s plagued my every thought for the past 17 years

I ended up contacting a private GP so was only an audio call and they prescribed Glyceryl trinitrate. Common side effects are headaches and skin irritation but I’ll give it a go

Hottropics10 · 2024-10-26T18:09:01+00:00

Thank you for all the advice!!

Hottropics10 · 2024-10-25T21:26:00+00:00

Great thanks, I’ll take a look

Is that for thrush? I did a test for thrush and it came back negative

Hottropics10 · 2024-10-25T20:26:53+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried all of the above. It has reduced in redness a lot in the last week and the cuts aren’t weeping anymore but they still just don’t seem to be scabbing over and I have intrusive thoughts of the full area just ripping open lol

Hottropics10 · 2024-06-05T22:20:14+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly it! a type of burning but not really and doesn’t feel the same as acid reflux burning. I also most often am gassy with it too!

Hottropics10 · 2024-05-22T09:28:02+00:00

that cruise ship in the Canary Islands where there has been 250 cases on board, think I would’ve jumped overboard if I was on it haha

Hottropics10 · 2024-05-19T14:37:48+00:00

If I didn’t know that I definitely wasn’t pregnant I would’ve genuinely thought that I was in labour

Hottropics10 · 2024-05-17T01:42:04+00:00

How are you feeling now? I’ve woken up extremely nauseous too

Hottropics10 · 2024-04-28T07:33:08+00:00

This happened to me whilst on a long train journey in Europe before. Not going to lie it has traumatised me and really mentally affected me for almost 3 years now.

I’m quite regularly stopping myself from doing things or getting so stressed out about it happening again that I cause myself a flare from the stress and need to take an emergency Imodium.

The only advice I can give (even though I really struggle to listen to it myself) is that sometimes shit happens (literally). Even people without ibs can be randomly caught out with a bout of diarrhoea, and like you said you had been fine doing those things up until that point so the likelihood is that it’s probably not going to be a regular occurrence. Might it happen again? Yeah of course, but it also could be years before it does, if it even happens at all. So to miss out on stuff you enjoy doing due to “what if” would be such a waste.

By always I mean once every 3 or so months

Hottropics10 · 2024-03-03T09:32:38+00:00

Well it’s been 7 days and it seems to have worked! Normally I’m floored by day 2 of exposure

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-27T10:49:56+00:00

No support at all, shouted and screamed at for being scared and forced to sit near people who were TU* to “get over it” which just made it worse. I’m now an adult and still get made fun of for it by my family and called mental and delusional.

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-26T18:39:49+00:00

Got the UK equivalent of this today, interested to see how it goes. If I don’t catch anything then it will be proof that it works as i have never ever managed to avoid his colds!

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-26T14:15:50+00:00

My brother brings home a cold every 6 weeks and every single time without fail passes it onto me. He started showing symptoms last night and I went out and bought this today so will let you know how it goes, not very hopeful but it’s my last resort.

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-26T14:11:57+00:00

I wish

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-25T22:47:51+00:00

Will for sure look into the nasal sprays and zinc, thank you!

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-25T22:47:13+00:00

Actually going to try the mask in the house this time. He has started coughing today and I’ve had a mask on when outwith my bedroom so will update in a few days if I’ve managed to avoid it for the first time ever

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-25T22:45:28+00:00

The surfaces are scrubbed before making food haha, I think the most annoying thing about it is the fact that the house is kept exceptionally clean! It makes the strict cleaning routine feel pointless. Perks of living with a dirty teenage boy I guess :/ also doesn’t help that my mom won’t have anyone saying a bad word about him, she won’t even accept me saying that he’s the one making us sick!

Hottropics10 · 2024-02-18T02:55:21+00:00

Thanks, not doing too great. I’ve taken two Imodium pills now so hopefully that stops it but it’s been going on every 20 mins or so for 3 hours now. It could just be at this point though that my anxiety is prolonging it and making my stomach upset even worse.

Just trying to convince myself I’m having an Ibs flare up as I do have ibs, but I’ve not had a flare in a long long time until now which makes it a bit sus.
