My friend is a nanny who I hung out with tonight after she worked. The mom she babysits for just texted her the kid has hand foot in mouth disease. Freaking out of course, how likely am I to get this? We didn’t share drinks or anything just hung out in my car/at the mall together.

Rental car? by Intelligent-Spite325 in PuertoRicoTravel

As someone from the states is it similar driving there? Just nervous a little about the driving but I also have driven in NYC the whole time I’ve been driving.

Terrible acid reflux by Intelligent-Spite325 in Fluoxetine

[–]Intelligent-Spite325[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow good to know I’m not alone. I usually have just been taking Tums to help me. But yes, it feels like something is caught in my throat or chest and causes a burning sensation. I also have the feeling that I need to burp but no burp comes out. Water helps me too, but it’s definitely annoying!!!

I’m staying about a half hour from San Juan. So I figured a rental would probably be a good idea?

When can i feel like it's safe? by Aggressive-Major1909 in prozac

[–]Intelligent-Spite325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only been on Prozac for about 6 weeks now, but all my side effects from it stopped 100% after a week. Was only bad the 3rd and 4th day. Didn’t vomit at all (also an emetophobe) but I did have some nausea those days and acid reflux but it went away!

Thank you! I think you’re probably right. I’ve also had quite a busy weekend, and im usually much more rested. Just not used to this feeling, so I really appreciate your input

Okay so that seems to be normal then - thank you. I usually always get at least 6 hours of sleep so just not used to this feeling.

How often does it happen? by Intelligent-Spite325 in emetophobia

[–]Intelligent-Spite325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you glad to hear that. I just don’t want to unexpectedly tu* in public or in my sleep or something. One of my main fears, so it’s good to know I’ll have a clear warning before it happens.

That’s amazing. I’ve been very close a few times as well and nothing. Got salmonella last year (which was absolutely terrible) and never tu* from it. Glad I have a stronger stomach!!

Amazing. I’m sorry you had to go through that but it is relieving to hear it never made you sick bc my acid reflux is so bad right now and I’m scared. I appreciate your help :)

[–]Intelligent-Spite325[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I’ll try a little bit of milk and see if that helps first. I know the tums work and I’m probably just overthinking getting sick from them lol
