Terrified of getting ill again as my child is unwell

This feeks really hard to explain but its will try anyway im sorry if it comes out all over the place.

Around January last year I got really ill. It was absolutely awful. I could barely walk my legs were giving way. I was constantly shaking. I couldn't turn over in bed without gasping for breath. I couldn't talk because I couldn't breath. I couldn't even get to the toilet and had to use incontinence underwear. I was also weeing out brown stuff. I was having horrible dreams that I was dying and my dad way saying it's ok to die .I wasn't able to get gets kids to school or anything. Its was awful.

Now ny son us ill hes been crying saying his body hurts and she's been sick. I was hugging alot this morning he was fine. But hes come home from school ill . Im so scared that im going to get ill like before. I have had an issue with food over the past several months. So my immune system is probably quite low.

The thought of getting that ill again is really scaring me. I don't know if theres anything I can do.

Im sorry for typos and spelling. My eyes are blury.

What was wrong with you last year? Did you go to the dotors?
Get some of those water soluble vitamin tablets.
No one can say if you will get ill again or not. But unless you have an auto immune system disorder it’s unlikely that you will get so ill.

I didn't go to the gp. I could barely walk. There was no way I could get to the gp.
I alsi couldn't think in a logic normal way its hard to explain. I was ill in a very simlar way before as well. Do if I get ill like that again it will be my 3rd time.

Are water soluble vitamins different to standard ones?

I think you should go and get a check up at the GP.
Your symptoms sounded serious and you should have called 111 or your GP to get a call out or speak to a GP at least.
Might be an unpopular opinion but it’s irresponsible not to get checked out if you were so ill you had to use incontinence underwear.

You really need to see a doctor. You really should have when you had the brown wee! That’s really not good

I get what your saying but I litterly couldn't think . I couldn't even dial a number . I couldn't find words or anything.

Crikey, did you not think to go for blood tests afterwards?

I didn't know i could . I thought by the time it was out of my system nothing would show. I mean I did contact gp but that was towards the end of being ill. I was given antibiotics. But I still wasn't able to fully explain things so I think possibly I didn't tell them everything. But the antibiotics did help.

How old are your children, and we're they at home while you were ill?

rainbowunicorn22 · 17/03/2026 07:54

Who had your child while you were ill? Could they not see how ill you were and contact the GP or get you to the hospital?
When you have children at nursery or school, unfortunately, they do seem to bring bugs home a lot. But that does not say you will be ill. As long as you keep up good standards, wiping down with anti-bacterial etc you should be at least doing the best you can.
I think it would be helpful to talk to your GP they might shed light on what you had and it may be helpful to talk to someone how worried you are over being ill again
