I am just gettint over from being sick, I don't believe it was the flu, just sore throat, achy and nausea. Lasted for about three days. I will get panick symptons when I get sick. If I am sick for longer than 4 or 5 days, then I start to obesses that its something worse than a bug. When my childern were little and be sick also, I would surely panick. I would have thoughts like what if I can't handle it and lose control in front of my childern. My oldest son would have deluisions when he would get a fever and that would freak me out. The doctors told if it last for longer than 45 min to take him to the hospital. Thank god they never lasted that long and he out grew it. I would tell myself that this won't last forever. You need to take extra care of your self and let things go that can be dealt with later and don't obsesses on things that you feel you won't be able to catch up on. Order out food and ask some one to run errands. People really do like to help others. Your body will be getting some of the medication even if you are exiting it out both ends. So don't give up. My doctor told us, When you are feeling a little better and think it might be safe to eat or drink any thing,I as to take a sip of water and wait 15 minutes and if you were able to keep it down do it again and wait 5 minutes and so on. It is good indicator to how much you want to ingest if you are still vomiting. One last thing and all give it a rest in Dr. claries Weeks book she warns us that when the flu or being ill, we will experience the same symptons that of panick and not to be to thrown out of sorts, because of it. Take Care!
