And why?

Such a cheery thread

11 years ago- caught a bug from Dd. I've not succumbed to another one since- no idea why not.
Prior to that, one drunken night in 2000.
Puking is not my thing at all, thankfully.

My sis on the other hand seems to throw up at the drop of a hat- if she sees something that grosses her out, smells, and every time she is ill whether it's a cold or an actual tummy bug. She says she doesn't mind though Confused

About 4 years ago, antibiotics and pain killers on an empty stomach.

In the 80's it was a couple of times a week - ahhhh the good times 😂

Another emetophobe here. Last time was 1995. I remember clearly what I'd eaten, what I was wearing and where I was Envy not envy but grim!

Almost exactly a year ago to the day.

One of my DSes was due to get some medical results back and I was NOT in a good place. I drank a shitload of too much Jack Daniels and fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up feeling dreadful, ran to the kitchen sink and puked and puked and puked. Poor DP was holding my hair back, running the tap and unblocking the sink all at the same time and I puked down his arm Blush

DS was fine, and I haven't touched whiskey or bourbon in any form since.

24 years ago when I was 11 (emetophobic so don't let myself throw up)

DerfelCadarn · 16/08/2018 13:31

2016 due to a bug - was also 17 weeks pregnant which exacerbated it - body decided that everything, including sips of water, was a poison. Morning sickness had only finished about a fortnight before so I was not very impressed. On the plus side, I first felt DD move while I was moping about on the sofa

itssquidstella · 16/08/2018 13:33

A couple of years ago from alcohol. Bar the very occasional bad experience with booze, I had either food poisoning or a stomach bug in 2011 and was horribly sick (just the once but it was grim). I have a fairly cast iron stomach though!

TomHardysNextWife · 16/08/2018 13:33

About 3 weeks ago with heat exhaustion. God I felt ill.

corlan · 16/08/2018 13:37

Yesterday - twice - migraine. Bleughh.

MaMisled · 16/08/2018 13:38

2 weeks ago with my first migraine in 3 years. Threw up and shit the bed!

hedwig2001 · 16/08/2018 13:42

April this year. Sudden rise in pressure in my eye. Had IV Acetazolamide and an anti-emetic but still vomited. Very unpleasant day!

Springersrock · 16/08/2018 13:47

Last Friday morning. Dark and Stormies are not as moreish on the way out as they were on the way in

Before that in January - went out for dinner on my birthday and I think I had a dodgy mussel.

I can’t remember a time before that, must be years

evilharpy · 16/08/2018 13:54

I think about eight years ago during a migraine. Prior to that I can’t remember.

I’ve been with my husband 14 years and he hasn’t been sick in all that time. Daughter is 3.5 and has had one stomach bug. We all seem to have stomachs of iron.

Oh, apart from that she was very carsick when younger. That was pleasant. But she’s never sick from actual illness.

IAmTheWifeOfMaoTseTung · 16/08/2018 13:54

Over my Dentist’s hands a year or two ago. I did warn him.

amusedbush · 16/08/2018 14:59

March this year. I got norovirus the day before an interview for a massive promotion, and three days before I was due to attend a conference that the interviewers would also be at.

Antiemetics were a godsend, even if they did make me feel drunk Blush

Notquiteagandt · 16/08/2018 15:40

About an hour ago. Thanks to hyperemesis.

My HG kicked in at 6 weeks pregnant on 20th of June. Fond memories of being sick free 😂

DelBoysCrombieCoat · 16/08/2018 16:00

5 weeks ago when I found my then partners profile on plenty of fish, it was what he wrote in his profile that churned my stomach, that and the shock, gut instinct that he was up to no good proved right. Before that I can’t remember, I hate being sick!

carriemathisonshandbag · 16/08/2018 16:08

April 2014. I had food poisoning from not reheating rice properly. EBF DC2 was nearly 6 months old and had Chicken Pox.

It was not a great 24 hours tbh

NerrSnerr · 16/08/2018 16:11

April 6th 2017, just before my son was born. I had awful hg throughout the whole pregnancy.

NCPuffin · 16/08/2018 16:15

Last week Tuesday. I'm pregnant and well into the third trimester, so have given up hope that it will disappear before birth.

Before I got pregnant it was 2 years ago, the morning after a night out - clear reminder that most other people were 10 years younger than me and coped a lot betterBlush

booandbumpp · 16/08/2018 16:19

This morning. 30 weeks pregnant with hyperemersis 🤢

Racheyg · 16/08/2018 16:21

Every time I have a hangover so about once every 2 months

motortroll · 16/08/2018 16:21

7th July 5.30am.

I only know cos I was supposed to be taking my girls to a local festival so my husband had to take them and he hated every minute!!

motortroll · 16/08/2018 16:21

Oh and don't know why?!

Frogletmamma · 16/08/2018 16:24

This morning. Fed up. Stomach full of gloop from my sinuses and I'm supposed to be going on holiday. Coughed a bit too hard.
