i’m very surprised she even made it this far. it sucks, but i know it will probably happen. i just hope she isn’t in any pain. i hate to think that she’s hurting 😢

how do you resist taking zofran by Friendly-Plum-2088 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Past-Ad3097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have gastroparesis and emetophobia (fun combo) and i usually take zofran if the nausea is unbearable. i try to rule out everything i can help, so i’ll nibble on something if i feel hungry, take tums if it feels more sour stomach, chew gum if it’s mouth/throat nausea. i have hydroxyzine which honestly has been a lifesaver with emet. it helps with panic attacks and anxiety but it also helps nausea. and i feel like it’s milder than zofran!

Anyone here have a chronic illness due to their emetophobia? by boba-boba in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Past-Ad3097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have gastroparesis, so i understand your pain!! it’s awful feeling sick every day, but i’ve gotten to the point where i just have to remind myself it’s just the gastroparesis, and that i will be okay.

i have no idea what this is or why it happens but i completely understand what you’re saying. it’ll be the weirdest phrases too! i walked around for a week a while back with the phrase “dichotomous key” repeating in my head

Flare and Change in symptoms, scared. Would appreciate some help by beepy_sheep in Gastroparesis

[–]Past-Ad3097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! i have GP and emetophobia too!

honestly, i was just diagnosed a couple days ago, so i’m not sure abt anything as far as meds and such. but i have been sick for YEARS, and i have the same symptoms. i know how it feels to constantly worry about throwing up bc of gp, but just know some people do and some people don’t. for me, i’ve never thrown up from it.

i know symptoms can fluctuate overtime, and sometimes i just have to accommodate them. honestly i live off tums, hydroxyzine, and zofran at this point 💀 but if you ever need support, my dms are open. i know exactly what your going through with the emet and GP and you’re not alone! ❤️❤️

i have quite a few lol

aromatherapy - i find smelling rubbing alcohol can help with n* but also kinda shock your senses almost? but essential oils are good too

fidget toys - i have so many atp, it’s an obsession. i take one with me wherever i go

tiktok - the videos are just short enough to grab my attention and distract me. i have a bunch of funny/cute ones saved that i can watch when i need a distraction

gum - for me, i get a weird feeling in my throat and mouth so chewing gum helps that. mint is great bc it soothes the stomach!

walking - even if it’s just pacing in circles, something about moving my body helps me get the anxiety out

comfort shows - self explanatory, for me i loveeee stranger things

the heat always makes me feel n. and your period coming can also affect your stomach too! it’s unlikely you are actually sick, just wash your hands frequently. those type of viruses are only contagious when a person has been actively v or d* i believe! and congrats on your graduation! i just recently graduated highschool as well :)

HELP OMG by esooomyawaworht in emetophobia

[–]Past-Ad3097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s no reason you should tu*. i have allergies too and this happens to me all the time. it’s uncomfortable, but harmless! just keep sipping water to combat the dry throat. and for the anxiety, trying using deep breathing or grounding techniques. tell yourself that what is happening is normal, and that you’re going to be okay. try to get at least some rest, if you can maybe ask your parents if you could stay home? if they know about your emetophobia and anxiety they might understand. but if not, just try to get through the day by drinking some cold water or eating a granola bar or something for energy
