I get so paranoid if anyone in my family feels sick to their stomach or just anyone I've been around, I am afraid to eat chicken at restaurants b/c i fear samonilla poisoning, the list goes on and on. Not that I drink now anyhow, but I was always afraid of being drunk to the point of throwing up. I plug my ears if I know I'm going to hear it happen on tv...lol the list goes on and on. It really is a dibilitating sort of a phobia. Last winter when my IBS was really bad I remember I would just avoid going anywhere really at all cause I hated to be stranded somewhere and feel like I was going to throw up. I slept with a plastic bag next to my bed just in case since I felt sick soooo much of time. I remember going to see the Rockettes Xmas Spectacular show last December and I HAD to sit on the end of the aisle just in case I had to make a mad dash. And I too remember like every single time I've thrown up and vivdly remember the times that I know I was soooo close. Well just had to share that. Nice to know I'm not alone here!
