Hi and welcome to the forum

I don't think it is likely that you or family have radiation poisoning. It is more likely a bug that is going round. If you think you have hot it then drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest. I hope you feel better soon. If you are still worried I would go to the doc. X

Hi

Sounds like there are some nasty bugs going about & your family has caught them but they are all recovering from it ?

I understand with anxiety we can get irrational fears & that is what is happening with you but they are not reality even though our minds start to believe it is

I can be stood talking to someone & the moment they say we have had a sickness bug my head will think I feel sick now to !

Its the fear I don't want to catch it !

Your stomach feeling upset & the burping will either be your anxiety over this fear or maybe you may catch the bug , not very nice but nothing life threatening as you have been researching

Keep away from Google & the News they are always coming up with something & when we have a fear we always zoom in on the worse scenario & think that's what is happening to us

I dont think radiation poisoning is what you family has had they would be very very ill & so would everyone around you not just your family

Try & see this as a nasty virus going about & tell yourself nothing bad is going to happen this is my fear which is creating anxiety causing me to think & feel this way !

Let us know when you are all feeling better , hope it is soon

Love

That is good news about your girlfriend , it sounds like she is getting over the worse now

Have you eaten even though your stomach may feel upset something light will help to keep your energy up after feeling so stressed & looking after others

Try & eat & get a little rest while you girlfriend is asleep

Good luck with the appointment & let us know how it goes

I ate a little bit but not too much today,I tried to eat but I've been feeling like this for about 2 weeks now I'm burping constantly and I feel like I'm gonna throw up then I don't. the stomach aches end up hurting to the point where I get really scared and stuff and idk if it has anything to do with the omgezole I stopped taking it too see if it works. idk if it has anything too do with my side that is hurting idk if you remember about my posts about that I'm trying to stay calm for my gf cause doesn't feel good. I'm really happy that you are here too help makes me feel like I'm not alone ha

Hey

Don't know if this will help but even if it was radiation you probably wouldn't get as sick as that right away...it would take years to have any kind of effect on you.

Sounds like your family and gf have had a rather nasty tummy bug.

Lots of fluids and electrolytes and you should be on the mend soon.

I think maybe your tummy upset is anxiety... at least I hope so and not the bug.

The best thing is it will pass and everyone will soon be well and a few pounds lighter. Julie xx

yeah I think so too I'm just stressing so much about it I've been feeling yucky for about 2 weeks before that I didn't feel my anxiety for about a month I had panic attacks here and there but nothing that intense, I think its my anxiety too its just hard too believe it is at times, thank you so much.

[Jeffju]

I went there last night!! You think you are fine and then, boom, it hits you right out of the blue. Not a panic attack but very increased anxiety.

Have just been for a lovely morning walk and am feeling better now.

Hope you are coming right. Julie xx
