Urgh. I’m in for a rough night. Sick

[HerculesTheBercules]

Woke up feeling a bit sick.

Stomach making some terrible sounds, am at that point where I am fairly certain puking will come along shortly.

No point in posting this. Just distracting myself ....

Oh god, and so it begins

Another person who is terrfied of vomit. I got a racing heart just reading this thread. I don't know why I am compelled to click on them but weirdly I do.

Just been through all this - early hours of Tuesday. I felt like I was setting The World Vomiting Record. Classic Novovirus symptoms

It does get better. I've been out this morning and survived.

Wish you well

I’ve not been sick for hours now and have kept down a glass of water - tentatively hopeful.

Another one getting the dread just from reading this thread (and almost feel that just because I have read the thread, I'm now going to catch it .. Though I think that might just be the stark reminder that it's noro-virus season...). I've had it the past two winters (since my DD came along.. never had it in my life before that!).. Surely I'm due a winter off?!

Glad you're feeling a bit better now, OP.

Seriously though.. does anyone know why it seems to hit over night? It just seems to make it ever bleaker.. and you obviously feel worse from the disrupted sleep.

Maybe something to do with stomach acids?

Wish me luck, I am about to try food for the first time in 24 hours.

Another emet here. Twosoups describes it exactly. I am astonished and fascinated and seriously impressed that your DH vomited and didn't tell you. And that you are/were so laid back. It's like you just had a cold, a nuisance and unpleasant, but no real biggie. When I vomit, it's like a minor tragedy, I'm too scared to be alone and I'm haunted by every tiny detail of it for ages after. I envy you your attitude to it and hope you enjoyed your food!

Severely emetephobic here and I am so sorry you have been unwell op.

This is my major fear and my heart is pounding just writing this.

Amazed I have had two children. It’s a terrifying and debilitating phobia

Hope you feel better

Had mine since aged 7

Not nice at all

First counselling appointment has come through for next week.

Apologies for hijacking your thread op

My DM made me a lovely chicken casserole which I have managed to retain. First solid was a bit of scrambled egg.

It tastes so much better having been in a situation when even the thought of food made me feel queasy.

Good luck OP - you'll get through it!

Another morbidly fascinated emetophobe here...i havent puked for 7yrs, even staying free of noro while having a small child. I live in dread of it every year, coping with it in myself and DD heart also racing now!

Another phobic who can't resist clicking on a sickness thread, arrrgh.

Glad you're feeling better OP.
