OMG - I thought I was the ONLY person in the world that is a puke-a-phobic!!!!!!!!!!! I get so freaked out when I hear that there is a stomach virus in my daughter's school (last week as a matter of fact) that I called the nurse and asked her if it is going around in her particular class yet so I can be "prepared" and I start counting down the days thinking of the incubation period. I then make sure that the "puke bowl" is ready and available and I clean out the wastebaskets in the bathrooms "just in case"! I am totally certifiable - at least that's what my mom says! lol! Now I turned my sister into a puke-a-phobic too.
I too have been nauseous for about 2 yrs now - it would hit me out of nowhere and last a day or two. Never puked from it though (but I did get hit with 3 stomach viruses 2 years ago - ick). Turns out I have gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). I had the endoscopy last week. I am so glad I did it because I was on famotodine for about a year and it helped somewhat but then it started not helping and I was getting really worried. I was always afraid that if and when I got sick - I couldn't take care of my kids. Myhusband works alot. So that's my story. I don't have ibs and never thought I did, I am on this board because my 6 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with ibs (d). This family has some stomach problems, huh?
Thank you so much for letting me know that I am not alone in my obsession with puke! lol!
