Berzerkgirl, my daughter is 1 and this was the first time she has been sick from illness. Before now, she'd only ever thrown up a little bit of milk or some food (if I accidentally put too much in...

Thank you :) I am feeling very pleased about it. She is completely better now too.

It seems like an odd thing to describe as a triumph, but I think some of you will understand! I was always scared of having children, both because of morning sickness and in case they got sick and I...

I agree with Paisley - I think it's best to avoid anti-emetics unless you're in pretty exceptional circumstances e.g. recovering from a general anaesthetic. I don't think they're good for you and I...

I think if pregnancy was going to make you throw up, it would definitely have happened already with one of your previous ones, so I don't think you need to worry! I think you are going to be fine!...

You are SUCH a star! I'm jealous too. I hope SO much that if I ever do vomit I can handle it like you have! Well done to you. What a nice way to end the year!
(obviously not the concussion and...

I don't think you'd need to do it that frequently. If you were going to go down this path, I think it's probably more a case of just once or twice (in total) so you can prove to yourself that it's...

I was 8 the last time, and am now 32. It actually wouldn't surprise me if it never happens to me again!

I had a gastroscopy last year (also a colonoscopy in the same go), and it was TOTALLY fine. I freaked out for AGES first (mostly because of the colonoscopy - yikes!), and then it was kind of a let...

I am even worse than you. I don't eat chicken at all for this exact reason! I feel bad about it because it's letting the emet win, as Stephanie puts it, and I HATE doing that! But I just find it so...

If it looks / smells ok, I'd probably eat it if it was just 3 days over. But not if it's been out of the fridge!

I think everyone comes on here for different reasons. I come to ask questions that other emets might be able to help with (which they generally can, and I really appreciate their efforts), and also...

Thank you SO much ladies. I really appreciate the replies and I feel heaps better now. Thank you :)

I am due to give birth in a few months and at my hospital appointment today, the midwife mentioned that a lot of women *v during labour. It freaked me out a bit because I thought I was ok, having...

I saw a link to this in the treatment page:

Has anyone here (not associated with this product) tried it and do you have any reviews?

Thanks.

Aw, that's lovely. I'm glad it helped :) You have a fantastic trip!

All I can say is that I went to Vegas & the Grand Canyon last year and it was the BEST HOLIDAY EVER! You should definitely do it - you'll have a ball! Plus the US is the emetophobe's ideal...

Thanks for your replies everyone. Those are really interesting and helpful for me. Sorry about the horrible experiences :(

As I said, my first memory (from age 2) is of being sick. I don't...

Yeah, I second what KaydeeJayde says. I fly a LOT (long and short haul, lots of times every year) and have only ever seen two people get sick on planes. Neither was from anything contagious, so it...

Sage's post about the age 9 thing got me thinking about where/when my phobia started, and I wanted to ask if any of you remember what triggered it for you? Sorry if this has been posted before. I've...

I changed schools when I was 9/10, had a horrible year where everyone was mean to me and also v*d one day (I haven't been properly sick since). My anxiety got worse after that year, but I had my v*...

No problem Nicole. I haven't heard of that, but it wouldn't surprise me if that works because for me, probiotics definitely help balance stomach acid issues, and I think stomach acid is what leads to...

I think they're great. I take them (the refrigerated priobiotic capsule things) whenever I'm on antibiotics and they are BRILLIANT - they stop you feeling sick and getting that yuck upset stomach...

My mum, and her mum were both emet too, but my sister is not at all. I don't think it's 'genetic' but I think the reaction that parents have when it's happening (e.g. calm and normal versus psycho...

Thanks Tasha :) Hope you're feeling better already!
