L89- If your doctors believe that getting this surgery is going to help you, then it is an option you should definitely consider. I was only saying that getting the surgery to stop from vomiting...

Sigh...

Yeah, I have them alot. It makes sense when you think about how often all of us obsess and think about it.

I really agree with David on this one.

Risking the dangers of surgery, (let's not pass by this one, there is always risks) because of fearing a natural body function? I don't think this is wise...

I do the same Kaydee. It isn't a problem for me to type or see the words. But I know some people's emet is very acute and I do it as a courtesy to others.

You didn't 'feed' the bug. Your tummy has been empty for a while because you have been sick. It just needs to get used to food again. It's hard because I bet you are starving! And you probably...

Seriously? The frozen stuff at the store is just as good??? I can't believe that because nothing ever is...

Sorry to go off topic, but I totally agree with turbo here.

Just like with any other specialists, there are good docs and bad ones. There are docs who specialize in depressive disorders and it is my OPINION that these are not the type of doctors phobia...

I think people are doing this because some don't even like to see the words vomit, diarrhea, stomach virus.

Yes, what helps my phobia is to tell myself that really there isn't anything to be afraid of. It is a normal body function that actually serves a useful and necessary purpose. If you have a poison...

Post nasal drip is a major culprit of nausea. Whenever my allergies act up or I get a sinus infection, I have horrible nausea. Or just a yucky feeling in my tummy in general. Eating actually...

Don't you hate that!!! Emet has taken some of the most delicious foods away! I used to avoid but I refuse because I am a foodie!

Hey AbbiP!

I'm curious about your superstitions. So are you afraid of the memory of what happened that night coming back if you do those things? Or are you afraid if you repeat any of those...

Agreed! But it will probably be that I am being weird and paranoid when I get upset about these things.:rolleyes: Ok fine.

But I do think the majority dont think like us, so we have to assume we are the ones with the problem. Although saying that, if my kids or me were ill I would never invite someone else over as I...

Eh. I could take or leave, so yum I guess



Bruschetta?

I think you are fine. And you need to eat something more than mints and tums! My favorite go-to tummy soother? Peanut Butter and crackers. Carbs and some protein

Well I would just like to say that it was HUGELY brave of you! I'm sure you had to commit to doing whatever they asked you to, no questions asked. That's usually how that works. And, yes, they do...

I do. Final Fantasy is my obsession.

TPBM thinks Final Fantasy is for geeks?

Oh nevermind I watched the vid and it pretty much answered my question.

I was just thinking that if someone pulled a jar of v out in front of me, besides being grossed out like anyone else, I...

Can I ask you gcepeda, are you afraid of the vomit itself, or of others doing it in your presence, or just you doing it?
