Ok - I'm being extremely paranoid and the people I work with aren't helping one BIT! I froze some cod, got it out of the freezer last night, and microwaved it, all fine, it was cooked - then cooled the leftovers down and put it in the fridge, had it for lunch today! It smelt the office out a bit, as fish does, but am really paranoid that it was off? I have a real phobia of being sick and everyone that comes into our office saying "ooh, whats that smell" - which makes me worse I think I've poisoned myself!!!!  What do you think? Any help to placate this paranoid person, gratefully accepted!

I have never had a problem eating fishy leftovers...as long as it was properly cooked the first time you'll be fine. Fish just smells!

I actually know what you mean about the phobia of sickness thing, I too have that, and you can actually think your way into feeling really ill , just by a slight comment. I have never been sick since I was 7 now 41 and it is something else that rules my life. I am always fine in the long run and I know you will be too. Don't worry, you will be fine.

I know - how cool - honestly, this place has been one of the reasons I developed the IBS! Its the bain of my life! I'm going to be stress free for a whole week (then I start my new job) but lets not think that far ahead eh!!! I've had nothing to do for the last week - so I've spent my whole day on the IBS boards!! Its been great....

My brain works at about 100mph and when I haven't got anything to do, I start creating things in my mind (hence the fish thing) - and if people aren't posting, that becomes a prob too!! ha ha!

This is exactly the reason that I refuse to bring fish to eat at work Tuna is my limit - no need to bring on the extra anxiety which will only flare up my symptoms.
As for people complaining about the smell - just ignore them - the smell will pass - and it's completely normal for fish to smell fishy when reheated!
