Good thing is-- it's at 6:30 in the morning. No time to think (worry!) too much before I go. AND I don't have to go too long without food (get so nauseous and shaky when blood sugar gets low!).

I know this is an old thread, but I was on here looking up colonoscopy prep, as I'm supposed to start one in about--oh, an hour and a half!-- and I found this one :). What's funny is that I was...

I see what you are saying, for sure. For example, I had a psych one time tell me that I had borderline personality disorder (I don't & have had many psych drs since then confirm that I don't); after...

Yay! So encouraging. Thanks for sharing! I love love music festivals. Haven't been awhile (well, since I had kids lol), but it makes me feel good to know that you didn't let emet stop you from having...

Oh! FIT fruit & veggie wash is good if you venture down the "green" road ;). I soak ALL of my produce, rinse and spin dry in the salad spinner, then pat dry with paper towel. I also read somewhere...

Yay!! I know you don't want to eat leafy greens, but other things that I like are smoothies with yogurt, berries, bananas...really whatever you want to add! I sneak spinach in mine, but I know that's...

Extreme heat is one of my panic attack symptoms. I have literally hosed myself off in my yard with the water hose with my shirt tucked up into my bra to try to find some relief. It totally sucks. If...

I know you are hesitant to check on food sensitivities, but if you are at the end of your rope, it's worth a shot. If you are like me, I was finally willing to do ANYTHING to relieve the nausea....

That would be horrible. Truly a nightmare. I would hope I would do something to cope-- take an anxiety pill & maybe even a Phenergan to knock myself out & listen to music on my headphones (wouldn't...

This sounds crazy, but salads kill my stomach. And I love big salads with grilled chicken. I am going for nutritional testing Friday and hope to figure out some of these allergies, but right now,...

I live very near the Smokies, and yes, the winding mountain roads are rough ;). I don't really get motion sickness, but if I feel anxious about it, I take the less drowsy Dramimine. Works every time.

I have never been on an international flight, but my husband and in-laws just flew to France from America and back a week ago, and they are all fine and didnt witness any air sickness. My husband...

So... How was it?! Hopefully you are sleeping soundly by now and you got some answers! I felt so bad after posting about my friend. I didn't mean to worry you at all. I am just very PRO colonoscopy...

You can do it! It may even provide some answers for you and lead to proper treatment. For me, emet is not nearly as bad if I don't actually feel n, you know? I did the magnesium citrate prep in May...

I used to live off of Tums Smoothies- started when I was pregnant. They're not dangerous or anything, but I try not to take them as much. I don't want to mess too much with the acid balance in my...

That makes complete sense to me. I don't know anyone that is emet (at least that I know of-- have suspicions of one of my friends), but I would definitely feel better about eating their cooking, etc....

Not sure if you have IBS or not, but I have gotten to where I can barely eat greasy food at all with mine. I don't get d anymore--now it's just heartburn/indigestion / cramps/ bloating. It happens to...

Just wanted to chime in and say, "Me, too!" The chat banner is driving me crazy for all of the same reasons. It's taking up 1/2 my screen and makes it super hard to reply to posts. Half the time, it...

I have been thinking about this lately... My daughter is not even 4 yet, so no camps or anything, but seeing her at vacation Bible school a few weeks ago made me so nervous for her. I know that...

Vicodin is for pain-- it's an opiate-based pain killer (hydrocodone); Valium is for nerves-- it is in the benzodiazepine class. I would bet they are talking about Vicodin.

I know everyone is different, but I have never had any problems whatsoever with Vicodin-- or any pain meds, for that matter. If you are worried, you can always request some Zofran to take along with...

It sounds like an IBS flare up to me. There are some places that I canNOT eat salads-- sends me straight to the bathroom. My dad is the same way. It's not that the food is bad-- just that your...

Bakogirl, I know what you mean about work out soreness... I lift weights and have for a few years-- love it! It is hard sometimes with n, I know. I tend to feel pretty icky when I push it too hard on...

Aspire Grrrl, after you posted that, I realized that my first time v* from alcohol was Southern Comfort, too-- not Wild Turkey. Guess its a good thing that I can't remember lol ;). At any rate, no...

Welcome! I can relate so much to what you wrote. I have found wonderful support here over the past few years. Haven't been on as much lately because things were going so well! Am currently...
