I dream about it often enough. I'm sure non-emets don't. Usually in my dreams (make that nightmares) I am someplace where EVERYONE has a sv and people are just everywhere throwing up and it's all...

About a month and a half ago. I get at least one sv a year now that I have young children. :( (Actually, the time in July was my second tummy bug of 2006 but back in January I just got d* and tons of...

I only got those when I had tonsillitus attacks and once I had surgery to remove those, the icky stinky balls never came back.

I donate very regularly. I've never felt anything but fine throughout and after the whole thing. Less than 4% of Canadians donate, and I think that is pretty sad.

The only thing I fear about it...

That is completely irresponsible parenting, imo.

Firstly, because the child needs to be at home resting, and as comfortable as possible. I don't know anyone who would rather be out and about when...

It definitely sounds like influenza more than sv. But some people v* because of a fever, so maybe that's what happened. My husband is a horribly loud and graphic v*-er as well. I don't understand why...

I think not infecting others should be a priority to anyone whether they're an emet or not. So not everyone is as traumatized by a sv as we are, but no one wants it. To me, trying not to pass your...

It's probably the pregnancy and the anxiety = brutal combination. How pregnant are you?

Welcome. :) I'm new myself, though I found out the name of the phobia and this site some months back. It's such a feeling of relief to know there are people in the world that understand you, isn't...

I would be as freaked about it as you are. I've never admitted this out loud before, and my husband would roll his eyes at me for sure, but when I was deciding whether to go back to work or not after...

D* can be caused by so many things, and it seems to sometimes happen even for no reason. It doesn't necessarily mean v* is next. The uncomfortable feeling in your stomach is likely from the anxiety...

If I go to sleep with a full stomach I definitely wake up with indigestion. I usually take an antacid and a glass of water and it passes.

I am not a fan of being on meds, but I'm a fan of crippling anxiety even less so, so I went for it this winter when things were out of control. I also have two young children, so was leary of the...

It's been running rampant around here (Northern Ontario) all winter, and we're in the middle of another wave of Norwalk right now. It has been an odd year. So far we've had a sv through my house...

I eat pretty normally most of the time. When my anxiety is triggered I find it hard to eat because I get queasy, but I don't not eat out of a fear of getting sick. I would much rather v* (if I have...

I stay calm, but panic inside, in virtually every scenario. In most cases these days, it's my children doing the v* and I pretty much keep it together as far as they know and I do what I have to do....

My kids are only 4 and 1.5, but neither of them has ever eaten themselves sick, so I don't usually worry about it (not that it never crosses my mind). I think you should go, and have a good time. :)

I love that little pill. I take it very sparingly, but when I'm really having a panicky time (like tonight) it is a life saver. I took one 45 minutes ago or so, and I can just feel myself relaxing....

The virus wouldn't be living on any surfaces, afaik. I would hesitate too. But in the end I would go, and I'm glad you did. I hope you had a good time.

I find that I hesitate about going just...

Yeah, I'll 2nd that. I was feeling pretty good today and DH and I went out for supper with the kids. I ate too much so was already feeling bloated, then my anxiety got triggered and I've been feeling...

I'm so frustrated with these bad feelings that I just want to cry right now. I'm so tired of fighting off panic, and thinking about v* all the time, and I just want to be 'normal'.

Heck of a way...
