I think it also matters what you considered 'cured'. As much as we all hate this sentence, it's true...nobody really likes throwing up. My friend told me that she gets a little scared before she does it and will even sometimes pray she doesn't do it, but Neither she nor I consider her emetophobic. I guess at this point in my life I can be seen as lost my fear of vomiting, or being cured. I don't think about it like I used to, I sleep better, when something triggers my g reflex I don't hold it back anymore and I just let it happen. But I still shake when I do it, I am terrified when it's happening and have to have my husband calm me, and after it stops, I hope it doesn't happen again. I'm also still really scared of getting a stomach virus or food poisoning to the point it's still a phobia. I guess it depends on an individual person if they believe I'm cured or not.

Also, I agree with others, no offence to Niki. I personally would rather have arachnophobia (spiders) than this phobia but to a person who suffers day in and day out of arachnophobia, I'm sure they'd trade places with us in a heart beat. I'd just rather have no phobia and just learn to deal with things like a normal person.
