freaking out

[lizzo]

i really do not feel well, i haven't felt like this in years. i really
feel like i'm going to v*, i've been taking gravol and i'm just totally
freaking out and cannot relax at all. ughh i need help!

Liz- I hate to break it to you sweetie, but gravol isnt 100%. No anti-emetic is, so you have to resign yourself to the fact that you still might vomit. It's rough to think that, but it's reality.


If I were you I would get as comfortable as possible.....tie your hair back, get in comfortable clothes- even take a warm bath if that sort of thing relaxes you. Do you have a tv in your room, of have access to the livingroom? If so, make yourself comfortable, put on a chick-flick or trash tv- something to keep your mind off your current situation, or that might distract you for a period of time. Try to sip on something like tea, or a carbonated drink....when you feel really nauseous, take a small sip. Sometimes that helps me, and I'm positive that it has even stopped me from vomitting a few times. But, I would also keep a garbage pale, or bowl onhand- just in case. You don't want to make a mess if it does happen.


I know its scary, and you really really REALLY don't want to get sick....but think of it this way. If you do vomit, there is a big chance that you will probably feel a bit better afterwards. Also, this isn't due to some stomach virus- you have a head injury, and it tends to screw with your system......if you vomit once, it doesn't mean that it will open the floodgates, and you'll vomit over and over again.


Finally- you're a strong person. You will manage, even though you're really scared right now. Take a deep breath.....you can do this.

Ok, I'm feeling a bit better. I made it through the night with no vomit! I acutally slept for 8 hours straight, then another hour and a half


I'm not feeling 100% right now ... but definetley not as bad as I felt last night.

[lizzo]

(with the help of amber and my boyfriend) I calmed down a bit.


Me and amber also decided the culprit, half a box of after 8's does NOT help nausea :P

[suze]
