Sage,

Bless you for all you do for the people with this phobia.

Two hours! That is beyond the call of duty and I don't know how you did it. Even a non emet would have at least a 3/10 anxiety...

Gubba,

I'm with you. I don't think these young people who are not out earning a living should make a contribution. They really don't have the means and should not feel badly if they cannot...

I just donated. Hope it helps out.

I posted something like this elsewhere. Sorry for the repeat, but wanted you all to know this has happened before and enough donations came in to save the site. There was one large donation and then...

I was not sure where to post this, but here it is.
I do not post often, but I come to the site alot. I am probably the oldest one who comes here. I am 56.
Anyway, I realize how valuable this site...

Everyone,

I hate to burst your bubble, but I am 56. I have had emet since I was about 4 years old. And, yes, I still have it.

Don't let this discourage you though, because I did not have all...

I can't believe what I just did.

My grandson's school called to ask if i could pick him up from school because he is running a low grade fever and has an upset stomach. They could not get in...

Neha,

I have had that procedure done many many times. In fact, due to extreme reflux problems I have to have an endoscopy at least once a year.

I know you are scared, but everyone is right...

I agree. Benadryl should make you sleepy. It has never made anyone I know sick. So I think it would be safe for you to take.

Jennyleigh,
I just tried to get in the chat room and got an error message. Are you still on and are you ok?

For what it's worth, I just have to reply to this post.

I have been eating most of these foods for YEARS (since before most of you were born) and have never had food poisoning. If you cook...

Thanks, Monica and 2jo2 for responding to my post.
We are back from the cruise and it went pretty well. I did all the things you suggested and seem to have protected myself.

A few of the people...

I don't start many posts, but I am freaking out right now because tomorrow I am leaving to go on a CRUISE.

My brother-in-law is taking the whole family (18 PEOPLE!) on a cruise. We fly to Florida...

Hi Neha,

I had a reply written, but just got kicked off the site. It sounds like you have found a really good therapist and program. I know it is hard to get rid of something that is so familiar...

Tiina,

Thanks for the information. I am taking it for an infection in my lungs which has been very hard to clear up. I go back to the doctor on June 8th and hopefully he will take me off of it...

Tiina,

I am currently taking zithromax for an infection that I have and have been on it for over two weeks. In fact, I have to take it for a month or two and not just the 5 days. I have had no...

Kim,

Just to ease your mind, I did not get sick from my grandson. I guess he either did not have something contagious or my handwashing, etc. payed off.

Please try to enjoy your granddaughter....

Girls!

Thank you so much for responding to my post. I know it was probably too long, but I was excited about it. When I post in the future I will try to be more brief.

It is wonderful being a...

I don't do alot of posting but thought I would talk now a little about my week.

I have been an emet for a very long time and it has caused great distress during my life. ...

Susie,

I guess I will finally have to admit that I am probably the oldest one on this site. I don't do a lot of posting, but I check in from time to time.

I am a 55 year old female and I have...

I put my paternal grandmother because she suffered from depression, which is a big problem for me. I also put my paternal grandfather because he was a sexual predator and molested children. I...

I have not posted for several months but this is such an interesting post with so much encouragement. I just want to say that I can identify with ALL of you. I was not a single mom but my husband...

Allie,

I'm glad to help anytime. Relax, get some sleep. I will be thinking about you. Talk to me any time you feel the need.

Deb

I know it is a cycle of ups and downs. The more frustrated and depressed you get, the more frustrated and depressed you continue to get. But once you get to feeling better, things will look up and...

That is a possibility. And don't feel bad about having to go to the doctor all the time. One of these times they will find out what is wrong. If it is food poisoning, it should be getting out of...
