Used to suffer with the word vomit but not anymore. my hand used to shake if i needed to write it or if i saw it on a page i was reading. when i was was at college i had to be sent out the room when the subject came up with illnesses when i was studying to become a nursery nurse. but got over it and i am not afraid of it anymore. which is a small part of getting over the phobia which i am happy about and been successful in.
