Re: Does it Run in the family
I'm pretty certain my mom is emet. My dad's just always said "your mom really hates throwing up" and left it at that, but the way she acts/acted... I'm pretty sure. I felt horrible for her a few years ago she kept v* after a surgery. *I* was begging the nurse to give her more antiemetics because I knew how upset she was by the v*, but they wouldn't. They gave her zofran but it wasn't working, and didn't want to give her anything else because of the type of surgery and the way her blood pressure was reacting.. something like that. I forget.
My brother and sister are both emet to a degree, but not for themselves anymore, they're both like "I used to try not to, but now I just feel better if I do" which I'm like "Ughghghhh." My sister is a teacher, and she has said she freaks out about the kids getting sick in class (she teaches high school) and ships them off to the nurse if they say they feel sick, or tells them they can leave to go to the bathroom without raising their hand first if they feel sick. She's always afraid of one of them getting sick in her room.
