Hi fellow Aussie..I am right across the boarder in Adelaide...I too have the same problem with Maxalon and don't take them. They have given me stemitol which is a bit better, but I really don't like to take medication and try not to. I just try to relax when feeling nausea. I acually can't wait to throw up...I know that sounds weird but I have a theory that I may get over it once I do it! i know what you mean when you say that it ruins your life....You feel so sick that you don't want to go anywhere or do anything incase...Hopefully with this diet I can get back to a normal life. I have heard that Hypnotherapy can help get over the fear of vomitting. Take Care....Amari
