I am in the exact same predicament, from Australia and going away at the end of the year to the US and am absolutely petrified of being in a plane for that long. I've never been on a flight longer...

When I was a baby I had to have a big operation. One of my first memories is a doctor putting a gas mask on me to put me to sleep. I actually remember it made me feel nauseous and scared, but don't...

It happened to me when I was about 8, set my emet off for good. I had flown heaps before it happened and never suffered motion sickness and still don't, I was just run down from a busy holiday with...

Wow I didn't know there was a specific name for it, it is definitely my biggest fear as an emet alongside being stuck in your own house with a sick person.

Yeah, it definitely sucks. I find them semi fun though when with people, e.g. a friend had a party a while back outside in summer and it was thundering and raining the whole time and it was one of...

Thunderstorms. I hate the unpredictability of the noise and flashes, must be related back to our fear of losing control. It's much worse for me at night, most people I know aren't scared of them and...

Enmalinda, I mentioned in my first post in here that I drink A2 milk, I'm from Australia too so you should definitely get that milk; it's from a different protein in the cow and is for lactose...

In Australia over the past few years we have had the most terrifying alcohol related ad I could ever imagine. As soon as it starts it's a zoomed in shot of the toilet bowl with watery v* in it, and...

We haven't made any plans just yet, but we would presumably be flying to LA or San Fran first, I have to go to either Kansas or Virginia for my course, which if you aren't familiar with America are...

Sorry for late reply Haylz113, I'm from Adelaide, it's nice to meet a fellow Australian with my exact thought pattern, thought I was truly the only one, ha!

JoHalle and Haylz113, I'm the same...

Hi guys I too am a newbie as of last night and wrote about this in the "sick on a plane" thread, I'm also going overseas to the US from Australia in a year and I'm trying to gear myself up for the...

This must have been awful! This is one of my most feared situations, as when I was young I v* on a plane (not from motion but was legitimately ill), and it was when we landed, and people were getting...
