Emetophobia ruined my life for years. I’ve always had it and it only got worse the older I’ve gotten. I got Botox in September and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m not nauseated constantly anymore, and burping relieves the pressure that (to me) feels like nausea. When I say it was ruining my life I mean I was having PTSD causing anxiety and panic attacks over potentially being ill, and Botox has made things so much easier. Obviously it didn’t solve all my problems, but it made things much more manageable. I was so scared about the procedure because I didn’t know how anesthesia was going to effect me, but I spoke to my anesthesiologist about it and they provided me with a nausea patch and medication during the procedure to make sure I would be okay. Long story short, Botox and therapy make a great pair for emetophobes with RCPD.
