Hi everyone...I'm Julie, I'm 24 years old, and I can't believe that there is actually a NAME for this that problem I have and other people that have it, too. I feel better just knowing that.

Since I was a little girl, I have been terribied of v. I think it may stem from a time when I was about 3 years old and the dentist gave my way too much floride and I got soooo sick, right outside of my house on the sidewalk. To this day, I remember it vividly. I even remember that it was cold and I had on a pink coat.

I remember when I was in kindergarden and someone got sick in my class. I freaked out...I was crying and shaking. I had to be sent to the nurse and they had to call my mom because I was so upset.

Now I am 24 and I have always felt like I was overreacting in my fears because that is what everyone told me. Even when I was pregnant...I experienced morning sickness and I would just cry and get the worst anxiety from feeling sick. My family all kind of just looked at me like I was nuts. I actually decided to do some research because last week, my husband woke up in the night and sat straight up in bed. I asked him what was wrong and he didn't answer and the only thing that I could think was that he was going to get sick...just the thought of this made me break out into a cold sweat and start shaking. He wasn't even sick, he was just startled awake...and I felt like I was going crazy. Anyway, I'm rambling. I am so glad I found this site though. Thanks for listening.
