Thank you so much for re-assuring me that a healthy diet will help. I guess I'm in the clear! Everytime I go grocery shopping, the baggers are amazed that all I buy is fresh veggies and fruits, etc.

Yes. Thank you so much. So I guess there's really no point in worrying about it because you can't possibly know when it will strike if theamount of timewhere a person is contagious is so wide....

Did they say how you can prevent the stomach virus?

Honestly, I don't think germs stay alive for that long. If he already got over it, and you haven't gotten it yet, I think you'll be fine. I think the stomach bug is the type of thing you catch before...

I know exactly what you mean about how it's not really the nausea or v that is scary. It's more the feeling you get in relation to them. And my therapist told me the same thing; that emetophobia was...

Oh, I wasn't talking about my therapist. Trust me. She's really really good at what she does. I was talking about the research I did online about it. But EMDR is a fairly new thing. Perhaps it is...

I'm really glad you don't think I'm being that way. :) I did find it strange that you would eat sugary things if you're an emetophobe. Well, I'm pretty sure I think similarly to most people on here...

Oh. sorry. I guess I got my information from a bad source. Don't be too hard on me. smileys/smilies_09.gif

Great. Hope you had a great birthday!

I'd love to. After Christmas and all though. I'm celebrating my birthday this weekend and then, I'm celebrating christmas with my boyfriend and then, I'm leaving to visit my parents. Well, are you...

That's great. So, I could take 4 in one flights time and be safe and not overdose or anything?

I'm glad you're feeling better too! KFC is the devil! JK.

I used to have feelings like I was withering away when I ate unhealthi

I could function absolutely normally.* It relaxed me so much that I think I could have fallen asleep.*





My doctor's instructions were to take it 1 hour before the flight, and that worked...

I am so sorry to hear that you don't have a supportive family. I feel really lucky. My mother is completely supportive 100%. If I panic, I call her and she helps me get through it. Also, she has...

Oh my. I can't imagine going through life for that long being terrified. But I know exactly how you feel. Did you never think you could get treatment? I'm in therapy now. I haven't yet conquered...

What's that like? to have a cat who is sick like that all the time? I remember I once saw a cat cough up a hair ball and I thought I was going to be sick. How pathetic is that? I can't even handle a...

Oh gosh. I really feel for you. I only took xanax last time I went to and from Europe. I had to take 5. it didn't really work. But I would never get on a drug that was addictive like that. Being...

That's so great. Oh my goodness! I'm totally going to get that for my next plane trip. Can you walk when you're on it? I remember the reason my doctor prescribed xanax was so I could still walk when...

hmm. The information I got said recovery. Oh well. Yeah, it's helped me a great deal. I can actually be sick and not be terrified. It's the greatest feeling in the world!

My doctor gave me xanax but I took 5 and it barely did anything. It's supposed to make a person apathetic but it only made me slur my words. So then, my doctor suggested Ativan next time. Is it easy...

EMDR-(eye movement desensitization recovery) is about stimulating both sides of the brain. When people sleep, they are able to work throughout the day in their sleep. Some people have a harder time...

This is totally me talking. I was exactly the same! A year ago, it was so bad that I was about 105 pounds (5'6"). Now, I have beatent the fear of eating as well. If anyone is interested in knowing...

Actually, they look more like hard cottage cheese.

you've probably had them before but thought it was just food that was stuck in your throat and forgot about it.
