Hi,


Just when I thought I felt stronger about this whole emet thing and how I thought I could possibly get ready for it but just last night out of nowhere, boom, it hit me. Another panic attack...

Hey Halfoverthefur,


Since you've had kidney stones, how bad is the pain? I mean you've had kids too. Is it really worse than labor pains like some people claim? How many times can you multiply...

Hmm, not sure about this. since I have a problem swallowing pills, I myself take Children's Tylenol chewables for slight fevers during menstrual cycles in both grape or cherry flavor and have never...

Thanks for the articles. They were informative.smileys/smilies_01.gif

Nah, don't worry about it. You WILL be just fine. I have seen tests done swabbing door knobs at public places, public toilets and money-things handled by tons of people daily. Money had the least...

Thanks Sage for your feedback. That was interesting to read- a "perfect storm" of contributing factors. Yes, I agree as I sit here logging who had what kind of background. According to the people...

Cloughie and Kate,


I can see that you have some relative with a similar issue that you are currently undergoing. But Kate, you are fortunate in the sense that at least you have family members...

Daffodil,


I'm so sorry to have made you queasy. This certainly wasn't my intention for anyone here. Nevertheless, I admire you for coming out to verbalize what you kept as a secret for a long...

Thanks Laney. That's interesting. Sounds like a pretty normal life to me but yet you do suffer from this. Hmm. I'm still convinced that our backgrounds contribute and become factors in this emet...

Hmm, I guess now I know two people here who never were abused. I didn't doubt there were; I just wanted to know some to support the research I've read.


Halfoverthefur, yes, I agree with you in...

Just one question for those of you who had epidurals. Did the actual injection hurt? I mean it is so long that I wondered if it was more painful than your typical injections? What hurts more the...

Kim,


I DO believe that those of us who were abused in some way which includes molestation as a young child, are suffering now with diff. symptoms but the most common is anxiety, panic attacks...

I too am sure it was all related to the coughing and drainage in your niece. How many times have we emets felt filled w/ nausea? Many huh? and how many times did we actually v* from all those times?...

Thank you for your honesty. Since you feel some relation to the worsening of your sickness w/ IBS, perhaps I am right too in believing that my nausea was worsened by the abuse and how it digusts me...

I find it more comforting to eat at the computer while shopping for an item or just surfing the web. I find that I eat more this way. I prefer it this way even though my husband likes for us to eat...

I'd like to know what Sage's knowledge is on this question. The rest of you can also contribute to this question if you feel comfortable enough.


I keep reading in professional published articles...

halfoverthefur,


Where can I purchase these reliefbands? I mean what kind of chains sell them like K-Mart, Wal-Greens, Eckerd's Pharmacy, which ones?


Thanks

Thanks honeybee. I just don't use the relaxation tapes cuz i take xanax before bedtime and that will get me to sleep. I do sleep w/ the tv on as a form of distraction. I'll see some comedy to end my...

Thanks sage, I'll ask her where she stands on her methods.


Pumpkin

Thanks Sage.


My counselor really is into relaxation techniques and some person-centered approaches along with guided imagery. I already gave her a copy of the techniques on the thread here, but...

wow! thanks for the info. guys. I really appreciate it. Phewww!! What a relief. I did a little test myself and stayed off this website for a week and had much less anxiety during the day and slept...

Halfoverthefur, I agree with mjewell. when I feel nauseous, I take about less than .25 mg of xanax cuz I know if I'm nauseous, my anxiety comes next and if I let it go too long, it turns into a panic...

I have noticed that since I've been on this website daily and read topics right before bedtime, the information I've read makes a real impression on me. Since this website, I've experienced several...

Oh Sage, You are soooo right! I often ponder how it would be so cool to "just v*" like everyone else who is not afraid. I see my students come tell me they need to go to the restroom to v* or that...

I'm with you Wintergreen22. Is there a 24 hr. support line for emets in the USA?
