I just hadmore diarrhea...I'm having to pop two Pepto Bismols every half-hour to manage the nausea.


I'm also thinking itmight helpto lower the Wellbutrin dose and give my body more time to get...

...But now I'm too distracted and terrified to do so. Last thursday, a girl on my floor said she was sick and might v* at any second. I've been washing my hands like a madwoman since, but yesterday...

A similar incident happened when I was in fourth grade. I refused to leave the room afterwards, despite my being thirsty and having to pee like there was no tomorrow. At the end of the day, I had to...

When my sister had a virus years ago, I think it took less than a minute. It might have been even shorter than that, since being nervous makes time drag.

That's a great idea. I've been having appetite issues myself lately. The only problem is I have a poor diet to begin with, so I'd probably feel worse if I thought about what was going into my body...

Fight-or-flight syndrome causes our bodies to direct most of their energy at escaping danger,and digestive function, beingpretty uselessto that cause,is inhibited.So, yes--it's unlikely, maybe...

Today during my psychology class, we talked about taste aversion--that is,when people avoidthe foods theyate before vomiting or feeling nauseated because they now associate the taste with getting...

I'm going through pretty much the same thing right now.My appetite has been down all week, and last night Ihad hunger nausea coupled with a mouthful of phlegm, plus I couldn't breathe. I had also...

Yay...it's over. I went under general anesthesia via IV withan antiemetic and didn't feel nauseated at all.Thiswas my second surgery under general anesthesia (I didn't use an antiemetic for the...

Thanks, everyone--I talked to my doctor this morning, and I will be given an antiemetic during the surgery. They're also prescribing menon-codeine, non-nauseatingpainkillers.


I assume I'll be...

I'm having all four wisdom teeth removed next Monday. As usual, my fear is less of pain than of any possible nausea and vomiting. I can deal with pain. I'm not so sure about the other.


Does...

I feel uncomfortablewriting or talkingabout vomit outside the context of my phobia. And even when I'm discussing my phobia, I don't like to say or write"thr*w *p," even when it doesn't refer to...

I've been on Lexapro for over a year now, and I hope it'll be comforting to know it hasn't made me sick. I haven't gained weight either.


I remember thefirst two or so weeks were weird. I was...

Me too!


I'm scared about sharing a bathroom, too. I've beenbegging my parents to let me live at home (my school is fifteen minutes away), but they think I need to "get over it."

I graze constantly, often while I'm on these forums. I can't be on a computer without at least drinking pop.

Glad you're feeling better. I just read the 5-page topic, and it was, as everyone says,strangely thrilling, like a suspense movie. Kind of makes us relive our own battles with the urge to vomit. It...

Last year I had a really bad bout of either food poisoning or stomach flu. I was at school when the symptoms began, and because my mom was busy and couldn't pick me up, I had to spend the...

I've had mixed experiences. I've never told a teacher I'm emetophobic (not that I don't trust any of them--it just seems like TMI), but I had to tell a few about my panic disorder to explain...

I smell phantom vomit all the time. My emetophobic mind can twist any smell into vomit, and all cleaning-fluid vapors make me nervous. This is probably becausethe smellof vomit is what triggered my...

I guess being quite literally surrounded in your former worst fear can cause a relapse.

From the way it sounds(people coming to class and not seeming to realize...

I tend to overeat at restaurants, plus,as Suze said, restaurant food is usually very rich. I always come home bloated and cramped at the very least, and occasionally nauseated. Never to the point of...

Why do filmmakers all of a sudden think people find vomit scenes ENTERTAINING? Even to non-emets, it's just crude and cheap.

Does anyone here have experience wearing corsets? I'm considering VERY MODERATE tight-lacing--that is, not cinching to more than 4-6 inches below my natural waist size, trying to restructure my rib...

For me, it depends on the degree of nausea. If it's justa little twinge that MIGHT be nausea but probably isn't, I'll take Pepto-Bismol (I don't go anywhere without it), run to the nearest bathroom,...
