I can't. Every stomach bug I've had (which is about nine or ten) I've vomited at least once or twice. For some reason when I'm ill I can't stand the thought of taking any medicine at all. In my mind drinking Peptmo or popping a pill of some kind will make me feel exceedingly worse. Strange, I know. I know how I got this notion: When I was little every time I felt sick I always drank Peptmo Bismol. However, my confidence on medicines got squashed when I vomited it up one night.Ever since then I don't touch any of that stuff.
