Crystal,

Sorry you had to go through all that. You probably didn't need to use your finger. You probably could have made yourself vomit just by taking a few quick, sharp, deep breaths when you were feeling severely nauseated. In my FAQ, I tell people who want to vomit to take two deep breaths within three seconds. Then do it again. If you were truly that nauseated, it would have started you retching.
