Hey! It's been a while since I have visited this site! (I mean, look at my outdated avatar...lol)
I am sure many of you remember me. smileys/smilies_01.gifI see there are alot of new people on...
I have been officially "recovered" since around December of 2005. It wasn't until January 30th that I had gotten a stomach bug, and didn't let it get the best of me. Don't get me wrong, I had (and...

Hello all!! I have a question...first off, as some of you may already know, I have gotten over my emet, but I figured that asking this question to emets would give me a better response because you...
Ok, I just realized that the 2 links I posted are eithervery similar, or are the exact same, so I will post something different...LOL!

These little whitish-greyish things are called "tonsilloliths" or "tonsil stones". They hide out in the crypts of your tonsils. (you may want to do some research online and find out more about them)....
Like my psychologist says...with a program like this, you must stay completely focused. He also said that under times of stress, it is all to easy to get sucked back in to the old ways (comfort zone)...
I truly believe that it is far too easy for a person to live in their "comfort zone" with anxiety, phobias, and depression. If one is not ready to take the step and say, "I am so ready to give this...
I agree that some people feel more comfortable with having a live person help them, as opposed to cd's, workbooks, etc; however, I think that if a person did exactly what each weekly cd has to say,...
By the way, I forgot to mention the method Lucinda uses; it is Cognitive Behavior Modification. You basically retrain your brain. ~Charlotte
Hello all. As alot of you know I overcame my fear of vomiting, however, I still have alot of anxiety and depression. I saw an infomercial on tv a couple of weeks ago for anxiety/depression. I am...
I saw that she posted somewhere else on these boards today...dunno why she is avoiding this thread??
Unfortunately, no one will ever know the figures of how many emets there are in the US. It isa hard thing to prove.I honestly believe that there are alot more emets out there than there is credit for...
Hi sage! Well, maybe I should post my story on the "experiences" part of this forum...good idea! smileys/smilies_02.gif
Also...you asked where I got my stats; those stats were an estimate. The...

Everyone is different. You may not even have a SV.Like one of the pp said, you can't determine how you react to nausea just because that is the way I acted. I also mentioned in my post that I have...
Why is it that sometimes you hate these boards??
I agree with the PP...food poisoning can happen within 30 minutes to a day or 2...it all depends on the type of bacteria. smileys/smilies_02.gif
I think what helped me when I had a SV was the fact that I was nauseated for 2 days off and on before I actually vomited and had diarreah.
I can also say though, that I have had SV's where I...
I will say, it was unpleasant to vomit, but there are many things in life that are unpleasant.
It is not the vomit you are fearing...it is the fear of loss of control. I decided to take control...
No, I didn't have food in my stomach, and that hurt like hell! I would much rather have thrown something up...so I drank some sprite and vomited, and all was good. You can do this...your body needs...
I just let "it" happen when I had a SV over a month ago. I felt 100% better when I let it all out, in fact, I stopped vomiting altogether! :)
You should let yourself vomit...you will feel tons better physically and mentally. There is a reason your body needs to get sick, so try not to fight it. I know it is hard, but let it all out; you...
That is so awesome that you are handling your daughter's illness like a champ.smileys/smilies_04.gif
I know that you are extremely anxious, and let me just say that I overcame the fear of...
