Mmmmm.....never met a pizza I didn't like. :)
P.S. Glad the curse is broken!

Ann...I know! I was appalled when my son started preschool and they didn't have the kids wash before snack. I had to speak to the teacher on my own and have her allow him to wash before. It's...

Good job! That is a step! I have 2 cats and they do that all the time...blech. Hate the sound and sight of it, but I think I'm okay with dealing with it cuz I know I can't catch anything. I would...

I'm so sorry about your Grandpa...but please, know that he understands and knew you were there with him, in spite of what you were going through. You will be with him again one day...I believe that....

Yeah, I guess...even though it usually ruins my life. It has kept me from alcohol and drugs, of course, and being bulimic...also I am ultra careful in keeping my kids healthy and my kitchen and...

Hey Sam!
Okay all--I am out of town on the 18th...and then I leave again from the 23rd-27th. But please don't plan around me...I'll just catchya the next time.

That would be fine with me, too...I can get there in about 25-35 minutes if the traffic is good. (Sorry for the late reply!)

Yay! So there's a lil' handful of us, at least!

Hey there...I live in Plainfield, and have searched like mad for a support group in the area...no luck. (I'm so glad to have found this site.) Wanna start a group? :)

Ewwww....what a way to greet the day. I'd change my route, too!

Oh, YES, I am the same way...I can't take two steps outside my house without my eyes darting everywhere, making sure there's no v* on the sidewalk, street, etc. It seems I am always seeing it...

Btrfly8888--you're right about the abbrev. of vomit. But I'm just lazy, lol. And, if I'm gonna spend time typing out words, they better be ones I like--ha-ha :)

Hey! Welcome! I have extreme OCD as a result of emet., too. I had the same reactions as you did with Zoloft and Lexapro...but I've been on Celexa a few times, and so far it does take the edge off....

Hey, Abbi--Did you notice a change for the better in taking 60 mg? I'm at 40 mg now, but my doc said to up the dosage to 60 mg if I am still having a lot of OCD symptoms and anxiety. I'm a little...

Hey, Girl! I told you about the yawning, eh? :) You know, all I can tell you is try to hold out a little longer...when this regulates in your system, the nausea, loss of appetite and insomnia will...

Yeah, I get that feeling when I take Tums...but I only take them for calcium purposes, 'cause I can't drink milk, etc. But yeah, they do make me feel crummy if I'm having a nauseous day.

Yeah, they're fine...ice crystals aren't even freezer burn--since they've been in the freezer so long, they've had extra time to develop the ice crystals, y' know? I eat stuff that's crystall-y like...

Have you tried to eat anything this a.m. yet? I get that tingly, weirdness when I am a mixture of hungry and anxious. Feel better!!

Welcome! I completely can relate to your feelings--I have been an emet for almost my whole life and you are right, without kids, you can somewhat control your environment and potential v*...

Welcome to all the newcomers--I'm pretty new here myself, but in the short time I've been here, it has been such a source of comfort and support. I have had this fear since I was 8, and I'm 36 now. ...

Well, I know what line of work I'm NOT going into! Ha-ha!! I know--I'm forever freaking out for "other people's sakes" :)

Vixki--Really?? Your therapist is committed to his career, I'll say! I am in awe--oh my gosh!!! yeah, let us know, I'm curious--but I bet he IS fine! Now if I tried that---

Oh my gosh, it seems I am continually freaking out over people eating gross, possibly spoiled food! Three times stand out for me, though--My husband ate mashed potatoes from Boston Market (made with...

Oh, if you were in your own car! LOL!

You'll be fine--although that is an unnerving thing to hear, right? You would have to ingest the v* particles into your mouth or nose. Could her respiratory illness have caused her to v*? Sometimes...
