Common Questions and Answers about Fear of vomiting treatment

Avatar f tn If I recall correctly, I felt pretty crummy and spaced out the first few days of treatment. I know for sure I did the first 2-3 days of treatment. I had to lie down a lot because I felt weak and woozy and like I might faint. It was not anemia. It was the meds and my body was trying to adjust to them. I do think a person does adjust somewhat to the meds and some symptoms get better. Of course, some symptoms tend to be accumulative, so some may get worse.
Avatar n tn You said she gets her self worked up every evening and has a fear of eating it could be possible she to has a psychological problem causing this to occur such as fear of going to bed, a fear of going to school the next day, or possibly even anorexia. You said she doesn't know why she vomits and that is probably the case, she may be stressed over something either at home, or school and is either blocking it out or is embarrassed or afraid to talk about it.
595125 tn?1219834270 What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.
Avatar n tn and have resorted to researching extensively about what I could possibly have and maybe some tips to get through the situation and get the treatment I need. Despite all of this I cannot bring myself to do it and I know this is unhealthy for a plethora of reasons. Even the thought of calling to make an appointment catalyzes attacks. I can't talk about it because nobody understands the intensity of this fear and the urgency to eradicate it because of my infection.

Avatar m tn Last month she complained of a lot of abdomen cramping and gas followed by an episode of vomiting. The cramping resolved after that. On speaking with her oncologist he said that this could be a one off thing and did not ask for any tests to be done. Last week she had a similar experience of cramping and things got better after she vomited. This time too the oncologist dismissed it as nothing serious and did not order any tests.
Avatar m tn I feel like I should test to know my status for definite and to certainly ease my concerns but I think the fear of it being positive will always be there. The vomiting and diarrhea are really what worried me despite the low risk, both the timing of that and then the symptoms I've had since then. I did see Dr Handsfield say once that vomiting and diarrhea weren't symptoms of ARS which reassured me slightly but again, other places say differently.
Avatar n tn I have read that the side-effects of this drug are commonly nausea and vomiting and as someone who has a morbid fear of vomiting, I am really reluctant to take it. Is it worth hanging on for another few days and seeing if it clears naturally?
Avatar m tn Oh my goodness, the fear of vomiting i have is that bad. I constantly try and evaluate the tiniest sickness i have and think i am going to vomit. Every time especially if i am in public or at work i just think of utterly embarrassing myself by freaking out so much and vomiting everywhere. Everyone looking at me, having no where to hide, getting it in my hair, choking on it. Dry reaching is the worst possible feeling i could ever imagine... Feeling like your eyeballs are about to pop...
Avatar n tn I posted an answer to your question on the other forum, if it's still up. Haven't checked. As I said then, there are a lot of different forms of medicine practiced in the world. The newest one is allopathic medicine, which is what your doctor does. You report symptoms, he either does surgery or gives you a drug basically. He does diagnostic tests that give pictures which might or might not be clear enough or show what the problem is, as many things don't show up on these exams.
Avatar f tn For as long as I can remember I have had a massive fear of vomit ( not vomiting, fear of others puking) when ever I even think about someone throwing up it gives me anxiety. When I see someone even about to I start panicking. I live in an apartment complex and someone threw up in the parking lot and now I'm scared to go out there. It's makes me panic and want to cry.
358304 tn?1409709492 H1N1 is getting a lot of attention in the media, but remember the VAST majority of people that contract it, get over it just like the seasonal flu. Once you have the flu, vaccines are ineffective because it is prophylaxis (preventing it), but doctors can prescribe antivirals like Tamiflu and Relenza for treatment to help with recovery with both the seasonal and swine flu.
Avatar m tn First of all, don't beat yourself up. I knew I had Hep C in 1993 and didn't decided to do anything until 2005. When I made my decision to treat back then it was because I was in a place to do it. That means, my profession and job were secure, all the kids were out of the house, I had a more-or-less supportive husband, and I was mentally prepared for whatever the treatment would bring. So how is the timing thing on this job? Do you have to let them know before you get the biopsy?
Avatar n tn like my fear of vomiting (where when im anxious about it, i picture my self throwing up in my current situation or a situation down the road) my fear of depression causes me to picture myself actually depressed or suicidal.
455394 tn?1207513979 s going to be for anybody...everyone is different. I will tell you that during different times of treatment different sides come and go...I never got the "flu like symptoms" in the beginning of treatment but later I suffered many hard sides (the anemia, my thyroid was killed by the interferon, autoimmune disease problems, serious skin issues to name a few). Learn as much as you can about the disease so if anything does happen...you'll know what to do.
Avatar m tn I have had URQ pain for the last 2 mornings. This has been sudden and usually lessens and disappears during the day. Im fine when i go to bed but when i wake up this pain is back. I have mulitple health problems including pulmonary hypertension, asthma, a porcelain gallbladder and diabetes. Not sure what this is but any information would help.
1650642 tn?1301582117 Due to the risk and cost of treatment we decided to keep her on preventitive in hopes of stopping further growth and hopefully slowly killing the adults. This being said, she has had no change in diet... no change in behavior (happy, active, etc.) and no change in attitude. She has, however, started throwing up mucus. It has happened about the last 3 days once or twice in a day. There seems to be nothing other than a piece of grass or tiny speck of food in the mucus.
Avatar n tn Thanks very much for that. I think you're right that i should speak to her first. I managed build a certain rapport with my previous dentist, & treatment became slightly less of a huge issue, as he was so supportive. I think will ask if i can have a quick, quiet word with her in private, before she begins treatment, & take it from there. I appreciate the reply. I think i probably just needed a bit of encouragement.
Avatar n tn First of all, I absolutely LOVE your username! You MUST get a picture to go with it! JS has given you the only advice there is, and as usual, it IS the best. I'm rather suprised I don't have this same phobia as my older brother use to pee on me when we were kids! He sure got a lot of laughs out of it......at least until I whacked "it" with a stick and then he didn't think it was so funny anymore! When you wrote that anything that is wet, you assume it's urine.........
