You'd think that after a dozen flights in less than four years I'd get used to it, but nope. I have a couple of flights coming up in January. I'm going to a conference to present my research, and it...

I've heard the newspaper thing as well, but never tried it. I think I read it on a website about overcoming airsickness.

I'm mildly lactose intolerant, so ALL things dairy give me an upset stomach. I can generally digest things made with nonfat or very low fat milk okay, though. I only keep skim milk in the house, but...

I take a pepto and either pop in a funny movie or start reading a light-hearted book (Harry Potter is my favorite book to read when I feel nauseous). If that doesn't work, I start to pace and talk to...

I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was VERY young (pre-emet), and now I generally don't like to go on any rides because of my emet. Some rides I don't mind so much, like normal ferris wheels...

That's odd, because my carsickness always got BETTER if I could look out the window.

I went on a binge a while ago were I read every scientific research article I could find through my school's library on emetophobia. I'm not a psychology student but I am a biology student so I have...

Oh no, please don't let that stop you from seeing it! It's really a great movie otherwise. You can tell it is coming from a mile away so you're not going to be surprised.

I've been trying to post this to the film list, but I keep getting a script error. I made a post under site discussion about the script error, but I figured that since there's already a thread about...

I've been trying to add a new warning to the film list, but each time I submit I'm getting a script error. I don't think it is on my end because I've been able to submit them in the past.

It is interesting to me how answering those questions makes me feel a little disgusted and nervous.

Breakfast: Coffee with lactose-free skim milk and a Lean Cuisine (if I have time) or a donut/muffin (if I'm running late).

Mid-morning snack: Special K cereal bar (or a candy bar if I'm feeling...

I have never been sexually aroused by the idea of v*, but I would like to share that when I was really young (like 9-10 years old, a few years after my emetophobia manifested), I would confuse sexual...

I just finished my B.S. degree. I lived in the dorms my first two years, and I was mostly anxiety free. Fortunately I only had one roommate who was a big drinker, and after one unpleasant v* incident...

If I'm outside in the heat I always wind up feeling a little n*, but I've never actually gotten sick from it, and it might actually be mostly from dehydration.

The heat always makes me less...

I've developed a sixth sense for it too, and if I think it is coming I watch through my fingers.

LOL, Michelle! 100% cranberry juice would be impossible to drink. Cranberry juice as it's sold in bottles is 27% juice. It is always mixed with filtered water and/or something else.
...

As far as cranberry juice goes, try to get the stuff that's 100% juice. Check the ingredients, because they usually mix it with some other juices like apple or grape (instead of adding sugar or corn...

Just an idea, maybe you should stay away from condoms that have spermicides? Nonoxynol-9 gives me wicked yeast infections, and I'm sure it could trigger UTIs in some people.

I'm Michelle. I'm turning 24 this summer, and I'm about to finish my undergrad degree in a week (BSc in Zoology). I'm starting a research internship in ornithological physiology and ecology (I'll be...

Ger, the Pepto Bismol isn't why you vomited. You were already feeling sick when you took it, remember? You must have been. Otherwise why else would you take it? You vomited as a result of being...

Oh, absolutely. If I know I'm going to throw up it's nowhere near as bad as the worrying and waiting to find out. It's still BAD... but worth a million dollars, sure.

My safe foods are tea, water, Coke, and any kinds of bland carbs, like toast, crackers, or noodles. I can usually eat chicken, too, for some reason. My standard 'anxiety order' at a restaurant is a...

Yes. Yes, all the time, yes. Half of the time, when my boyfriend tries to initiate sexual activity, I have to turn him down because the thought of all that bouncing makes my stomach anxious....

Lately I've been slipping into a lot of mental fixating on my emet. I don't know if fixating is exactly the right word, but what I'm describing is the constant mental obsession with replaying and...
