TW: Emetophobia/Vom!t!ng
Heyy guys... so, as you can probably tell, I've, unfortunately, caught norovirus. I have absolutely no idea where it came from which is why it's so surprising to me. Cuz like- I was nauseous on Sunday, but I think that was due to stuff I ate. I was fine Sunday night, till I woke up Monday night and just felt... off. I dunno how to explain it. I was partially nauseous, but it got SUPER bad throughout the day. I could tell this wasn't a regular type of nausea that I experience (usually from nerves or, again, something I ate), so that scared me even more. Not to mention, I have extreme emetophobia (fear of vomiting), so that didn't help anything whatsoever. So, we'll call Sunday... the exposure of the virus maybe. Or Monday morning.
Exposure (Sunday/Monday) - Minor nausea but got even worse throughout the day.
Day 1 (Monday) - Eventually, I threw up despite how terrified I was. It was so damn scary, and as much as I didn't wanna do it, I knew it had to happen. I definitely felt a tiny bit better afterwards, but... that's just when everything else started. From what I counted, I vomited 6 times yesterday. It mainly just consisted of saliva though since I've had nothing to eat nor drink until momma suggested 7-Up. I took some sips of it, but I threw it up later on. The urge to drink water or apple juice (random craving) is so strong..... I had a fever of 100 as well and felt hella tired at first.
Day 2 (Tuesday/today) - Woke up early cuz I couldn't sleep great... however, my stomach is starting to growl, aka I'm getting my hunger somewhat back. But I'm still not gonna eat nor drink anything just to be safe. My chest hurts when I breathe, my back hurts too, and the right side of my throat hurts for some reason.... my heart also won't stop pounding at a rapid rate.
I'll update y'all later on or tomorrow. I'm REALLY hoping I get over this soon.....
