The last time I had the SV was when I was six, and I v*ed once.

this is going to sound gross..but..swallowing the "snot" will cause the same?lol

Whenever i'm having nasal issues whether it be allergy or cold, I cannot spit every time it comes [/QUOTE]

I've had the flu a couple times in my life, and I never v*ed or had d*. I don't even remember ever feeling significantly n* with the flu. The main things I recall were the headaches, fatigue, and the...

I have answered it as well.

I'm from Northern California (I think that is considered Southwest in this poll).

I voted for "Yes, but Never consulted a doctor" because I have had bad constipation for my entire life. (TMI?) Not to the point where I can't go at all, but pain, straining, some bleeding, and...

I don't like McCain or Obama, but I feel the latter is the lesser of two evils, so I'm going to vote for him. America will be f***** if McCain wins.

I can't believe McCain chose Palin as his vice...

Like Laylamommy, I can't stand to have people crowd around me, talk to me, touch me, etc... It makes the fear so much worse. I have to get away from everyone, and in public places that usually...

Is it not possible to just look at the whales from the shore? That's what I've done... There is a lighthouse around here where you can see Gray Whales migrating every spring and fall, and you don't...

I didn't v* much at all as a kid... The only times I remember were when I caught a SV when I was four and again when I was six (this is the event that caused my phobia). I never got carsick or...

I've never told anyone about my emetophobia, and only like four people (including therapists) know I have any sort of panic disorder at all. I'm very good at hiding my anxiety when necessary, though...

I'm wondering how the OP's flight went; he hasn't given any updates yet (maybe he's still out of town).

Yeah, both my mom and my sister have been eating them and they are fine, so I guess the M&Ms are safe to eat.

I don't use the the apricot color either because it reminds me of the color of v*. I'm not good with internet things, but you might want to adjust your internet settings to make it store more (or...

I agree with the above posters... A phobia is something beyond a simple dislike of a certain object or action; it is something that causes distress and disruptions in someone's daily life when there...

I found some milk chocolate M&Ms today that had been sitting in an old backpack of mine for about a year and a half. They were in one of those large bags and it was still mostly full, though they...

I use the yellow color because it feels the warmest to me (which is more calming when I am nervous).

I'm sure the ham you had was fine... They always recall much larger amounts of food than is actually potentially contaminated, and the bacteria is destroyed by cooking anyway. Also, if it's any...

Yeah, I always find it much easier to deal with the n* caused by menstrual issues than n* caused by problems in the digestive system. I guess it is because even though I am n*, I don't really have...

I have some cramps and n* right now. smileys/smilies_06.gif

I took some Advil though, so hopefully they'll be going away soon.

I think that even if my emet was cured, I would just develop a new phobia or generalized anxiety.

I have never smoked cigarettes because I've heard several stories about them making people v*. Also, they're addictive.

I think gagging is the protective reflex in your throat that keeps stuff from going down your trachea, and it can be (but not always) accompanied by dry heaving. People gag when they v* to keep it...

I am terrified of myself v*ing (especially in public, but I'll get panicky even at home sometimes) and other people doing it if it's something that I can catch too. I can usually handle other people...

Yeah, don't do it if it will freak you out... I think if I hadn't grown up having butter left out for days, it would terrify/disgust me.
