Irony at it's finest... I reacted better than I thought. My exposure therapy may have had a positive affect. Although still awful, the tears were there, but the panic was minimal. Perhaps the anticipation was the worst part. Basically once the worst was over, I looked back and was, well, OK. It gives us emetophobes some hope, I hope. :) I got the flu on the peak.

I got my first “stomach flu” in the late 70’s from my grandmother who was visiting for Christmas from the Red Cross home she stayed at. Have had it a number of times since, but have been able to progressively reduce the symptoms period down now to 12 hours by flushing the buggers out with drinking a load of Evian water. Unlike other fluids it appears to be the only one that does not immediately come back up and that you can consume without wishing you had’nt!! It really seems to work and makes simple sense and hope that I may save some of you a day to a day and half of unpleasantness. Kind regards Many thanks for the various pieces of advice!

There is even a section for therapists, as well as a microbiologist's article on how noroviruses are spread, so folks can be calmer. I have nothing to "sell" on this site - no miracles cures or scams - just information. Thanks www.emetophobiahelp.blogspot.com Sage Hi,

I don't care what it is, if it has to do with my stomach, it will start a nausea attack in seconds and take hours to subside! What I have been doing to stave off the panic/nausea attack is every day I take my antidepressant (clonazepam) and Prilosec OTC. This is my basic daily dose. I have ordered promethazine online and keep that in my medicine cabinet. It is an anti-emetic and if I even feel my heart pumping fast or that familiar panicy feeling that is the onset to the debilitating nausea then I take one. I travel with it and everything. I have done insane things not to get nauseous and vomit. I can't begin to tell you. I do feel better that I am not the only one with this affliction. I used to think I was the only one in the entire world and NO ONE. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN MY FAMILY OR ANY OF MY FRIENDS NO ABOUT IT! Oh man, do I KNOW THAT FEELING!!!!
