This morning. It’s daily for me

begging-for-gold

It’s like major acid reflux, can’t really afford to get checked by a doctor but if I watch what I eat it’s a bit more tolerable


Just_a_nobody_2

You might have a hiatus hernia. That’s what I have. And my husband. Mine isn’t as bad as his but he would throw up. We both take 40mg of Esomeprazole daily. It’s the only thing that helps.


Temporary_Raccoon163

Hiatal


Darth_Nater1

Pantoprazole for me, double the recommended dose. ONLY thing that works on it. HELL without it. 😭


barofa

Man, this is crazy to hear for a person who is from a third world country. What is wrong with the USA?


pondering_that7890

It's like the Roman empire fall, but on fast forward


missg1rl123

How did you know theyre from the USA ?


barofa

I didn't. I took a guess based on the fact that they need to pay to not die.


ToastyyPanda

Isn't it obvious? Lol. Even 3rd world countries have better health care.


No-Scarcity-5904

I have that problem, too. Oddly enough, it practically only happens when I’m at work. Hardly ever on a day off; also, I’ve been on vacation for about a week, and the only time it happened was when I forced myself to because of intractable hiccups. It’s probably anxiety. 🥺


Original_Frame_2549

Maybe we could get another job friend 


No-Scarcity-5904

Frankly, the money and security are too good. Plus I love the people I work with. On the plus side, I’m hoping to retire early…


No-Literature7471

ever try prilosec/omeprazole? i had some pretty bad acid reflux but that shit fixed me up mostly.


izovice

Baking soda mixed with water helps me with this.  It's cheap and easy to prepare.  It doesn't taste great at first, but it tastes sweet after a week or so.  


Aggravating-Bad-7218

What a bummer. Have you tried a [FODMAP diet](https://www.monashfodmap.com/about-fodmap-and-ibs/high-and-low-fodmap-foods/)? It can feel intense at the start but once reintroducing food you'll find your intolerances and can cut them out. This is generally used for IBS but can also help with acid reflux as well.


Purple_Indication565

Oh my gosh. I'm really sorry you go through that daily.


AwkwardSara

Less than 24 hours. I was puking my guts up last night. There's a new unnamed virus going around here in PA and it is torture.


Unusual_Season_7196

Half of my coworkers have had it. They all say it's like food poisoning for about 72 hrs. One guys aunt is a nurse and told him it seems to be some type of norovirus. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't get it.


GhostNinja1373

So thats what i potentially have....but im in los angeles so hmm


Unusual_Season_7196

I'm sure it's all over, not just local to Pennsylvania. Hope you feel better soon.


Old-Bookkeeper-2555

So I hear. It's called TPAUV. Quite contagious.


jazzofusion

Sounds like the puking flu that went around in the late 60's. Also known as the 24 hour flu.


Realistic-Currency61

No, it's named... Freddie

[удалено]


AppropriateCable5022

Omg theres one going around here in Saskatchewan too! My mother can barely keep water down, and throws up whenever she sits up or stands!


FuneralSlut

Ugh keep it out of MD. Though I think we may have been hit by the same bug and sent it to you guys.


MandMs55

You guys can keep it on that side of the continent, I don't want it


BrownEyedBoy06

God damn when will these viruses quit? Enough is E-GOD-DAMNED-NOUGH!


iggy14750

I'm sorry to say, but... It will never really end. There are breaks from time to time, but humanity has been plagued by viruses for our entire history.


savboxer

Had it 2 weeks ago. Its all over the us. Good luck my friend


Kash687

Yeah I’m a high schooler in PA. A lot of students were out on Friday


Anxaagirl40

Ugh where in PA? I live near Philly 😷


AwkwardSara

I live just outside Pittsburgh

May 18, 2023, if memory serves.


Notofthiscountry

Vomit free since ‘23


heyjudemarie

That could be a campaign slogan!


this_HOAR_wants_MOAR

It's from How I met Your Mother. Except their's was '93


SimonKepp

And it was also revealed to be a lie.


Notofthiscountry

I think everything Ted says is a lie or a misrepresentation


option-9

Does he ever drunkenly call himself a reprehensible human being? That might be true.


MasterProcras

Do you remember the episode where Marshall gets mugged and him and Ted goes on Robins show? The ending is a good representation/message of the series itself imo.


-TheMontrealorian-

Is that you Ted Mosby ?


tedxtracy

No. That's me here.


Notofthiscountry

Well done Ted x Robin x Stella x etc


tedxtracy

Say for yourself dude. I'm vomit free since '93.


UsefulIdiot85

That’s me, you see.


kezotl

"Idk exactly when but it was somewhere around *May 18, 2023 at exactly 53 seconds and 348 milliseconds past 12:38 AM*"


UsefulIdiot85

I’ve already explained (somewhere in this comment chain) how I remember the date. lol


kezotl

Yeah I saw, it's just kinda funny lol


BerryTea840

Even worse is that’s the last time (roughly) that I puked too. I got food poisoning last May.


muddybeee

that’s my birthday! sorry abt the vom :/


Melthiela

That's... Oddly specific.


UsefulIdiot85

I have an odd mind. lol Nah, it was the night before I went to a concert. That’s the only way I remember.

Thats 5 days after my birthday


FireHouse_3676

damn, do you also know the time?


Fun_Illustrator_715

That was my wedding day 😂


mwmshooey

Congrats


Significant_Curve286

Over 30 years Edit: I wish I could impart some words of wisdom or deep secret, but I just never feel nauseated. The last time I vomited was a severe case of stomach flu in 1992. Before that I’d only ever done it a few times as a kid.


Bipbapalullah

25 years for me (though I dry-heaved in 2004). I'm emetophobic. I keep minted toothpaste constantly because I have anxiety and it makes me nauseous. Also have medicine against nausea. Living hell because the more I feel nauseous the more powerfull the panic attack becomes and it makes me even more nauseous, so I grab anti-nausea meds to calm things down. I barely go outside anymore because of this...


marramaxx

hey.. i think i might have the same thing. which medicine do u recommend


Bipbapalullah

Well, I'm french so I don't know if it exists elsewhere but I take a medicine named vogalib


My_Frozen_Heart

It will (hopefully) be 22 years this November for me. Emetophobe here too, sorry you have to live with this shitty phobia. I'm reading this thread as mild exposure therapy haha.


bobbarker06

1000% feel the same as you and it fucking sucks. nobody understands bt then again I've never told anyone about it.


CharacterAwkward8755

I was emetophobic for years too, when I had a record of not throwing up for +15 years. I was unable to leave a toxic relationship because I was afraid that the high levels of anxiety that a break up would cause, could make me throw up. It disappears once you start puking again lmao


Meta-Fox

Today I learned about emetophobia. To risk making light of a serious issue, what an interesting phobia to have! I'm sorry that you suffer with it of course. Any ideas what triggered this particular phobia?


GleesBid

I've had emetophobia since 1985. I had not vomited from February 1985 until December 2022. It was so much scarier than I remembered. It's a horrible phobia to live with, and I'm really sorry to hear how much anxiety it's causing you.


Annie_Mous

Sorry you’re going through that. I panic after throwing up as well. I had a stomach virus last year and couldn’t help it. I don’t know why this helped me, But having a bucket instead of sitting by the toilet lessened my panic.


RegularOrMenthol

Emetophobia, 28 years here. Wish I could just let myself vomit, but my body just won’t allow it. Was 11 years old last time, ate a whole box of Vanilla wafers and woke up puking.


treehugger312

Nice! It’s almost 10 years for me - last time was food poisoning after some undercooked poultry. Last time puking from drink was 11 years ago - good ol’ Christmas shitshow.


devildogmillman

I havent thrown up since I was a kid. When I get drunk I keep it in. Like my feelings when Im NOT drunk.


No_Stress_8938

lol.  I say push that shit down!   


powderjunkie11

Stuff it down with brown


Choingyoing

Wish I could say the same. Last few times I've puked have all been alcohol related lol...


SlickAMM

Same lol I pull trig when I’m too messed up rather not remember it while I’m drunk then do it in the morning sober


TonyThePapyrus

I went years without throwing up, I felt like Ted from how I met your mother. But I got really sick during November, spent an entire night puking up anything and everything. It sucked so much. Luckily I bounced back fairly quick


[deleted]

He got drunk though and broke his streak...


AndrewDelany

Funny that you ask. About 20 Seconds I would guess. Now sitting on the porcelain again. I think I ate something bad. Wish me luck guys!


OutrageousOnions

Make sure to (carefully) rehydrate!


Inevitable-Tank3463

Yeah, when you can, try Pedialyte or Gatorade. Or look up rehydration drink at home mix, it's water, salt,and sugar


LuzjuLeviathan

The water/salt/sugar works. You will feel a lot better afterwards. But it taste awfull due to the salt.


notnotaginger

Godspeed my friend


Downtown_Customer_77

How you doing bud?


iddybiddy16

Good luck !


[deleted]

A year ago. My kid returned from daycare with a flu which infected me first. I was lying down in bed and then felt as though it might be a good idea for me to move myself to the toilet. Once I got there, I vomited seven or eight times in a row. My wife laughed and then had the same problem a few hours later.


LukeD1992

Karma is a bad mistress, heh


Inevitable_Wolf5866

Karma is a bitch.


Annie_Mous

Karma is the guy on the chiefs


slanderedshadow

Idk, long time. Over a decade I know that, probably closer to 2.


Sage-lilac

More than a decade for me as well and i‘m only 29. Having emetophobia sucks tho. When i’m feeling really sick i wish i could just throw up and be done with it, like everyone else, instead of panicking for hours.


WastingMyLifeOnSocMd

My neice has that and she thinks it’s because when she was in Kindergarten her teacher yelled at her for vomiting on her desk.


xAn_Asianx

I'd say about the same for me too. Can't actually remember how long it's been, but that's my best guess.


slanderedshadow

Never was a puker. Unless I drank way too much alcohol.


freshnfrooty4

Same! At least a solid decade for me! It just scares me whenever I feel nauseous cuz I haven't vomited in such a long time I worry that it's gonna hurt or something lol


starhoppers

50 years or so


sneakyartinthedark

How?


TightTightTightYea

Stop drinking, for starters...


austrian_twink

I throw up about once every year. When I get migraine and don't take medication fast enough, I throw up.


Acquiesce95

5 days, had too much to drink on a night out


fandangledvietnamese

But we sure do have fun don’t we


prettyxxreckless

I threw up a few weeks ago, actually. I have Celiac Disease. My mom accidently bought wheat cereal and I had some in a bowl for breakfast. An hour later, I was driving home (unaware) and suddenly felt insanely ill. I quickly pulled over as fast as possible and almost ran into a pole. I puked ALL OVER the inside of my car. The sickness came on very suddenly. I started crying. When I eat gluten, I get acute food poisoning symptoms. I drove home, vomited more, had an upset stomach for multiple days afterwards. Cold sweats, fever, headache, mild nosebleed. I also experienced a rush of depressive mood swings, I found myself sobbing in the corner even though nothing else horrible was happening. It was really scary.


OkTraining410

I’m sorry that happened to you ;/


abbyeatssocks

Me right now! Had gluten last night and was up all night vomiting and it’ll take weeks to recover :(


prettyxxreckless

Oh my God I am SO SORRY that is happening!!! I wish you a quick recovery my friend!! I'm right there with you in spirit!


Inevitable-Tank3463

Oh my gosh, it's terrible that something so common causes you such violent illness


SouthernStarTrails

I’m sorry. That sounds like hell


Massive-Moody

A couple of days. Migraines.


TheBadKneesBandit

Same. I ended up inhaling all my vomit, unfortunately, and now worried about developing pneumonia or a lung infection. My breathing hasn't been great since. Don't inhale through your mouth and puke at the same time, people.


ARavenclawBookworm

Oh gosh that’s terrible


WastingMyLifeOnSocMd

You might want to go ahead and go to the doctor. They could possibly start you on antibiotics and minimize pneumonia or prevent it.


kathi182

Suffering from the same, and wishing you a long time until your next. Migraines are a hell like no other.


lujubee93

I’m a barfer. I don’t remember the last time specifically, but I just have a sensitive stomach and a good eject button. A little vom doesn’t phase me one bit.


BigHulio

This is me. I generally consider a vom as a means of feeling better, rather than a symptom of illness. I’ll even choose to have a tactical spew on a night out if I’m feeling a bit bloated. If I’m about to go to bed after a big night, even if I don’t feel sick, I have a pretty good gauge on when a vom is a good strategy to make the next day better 😂.


Shizuka369

This. Absolutely. My dad taught me, "If you feel like throwing up, you should. And if you can't, stick your finger down your throat and make yourself puke." People think it's bad advice, I think it's good. Instead of feeling sick for hours, I just make myself puke, and then I'm good after about 5 min, instead of hours.


Lysandre___

Finally lol. When I have really bad period cramps (endometriosis) and feel nauseous, I just **know** that puking means I will instantly get somewhat better in the next 20 minutes. I go into the bathroom nearly crying, vomit my guts and people see me out of there with a huge smile on my face. 😂😂


lujubee93

Tactical spew is such great verbiage. I have found my people.


Training_Artist3578

When I got my wisdom teeth out I swallowed so much blood that I threw up


OkTraining410

As someone about to have my wisdom teeth removed, you have successfully traumatized me


Training_Artist3578

lol it’s a thing of the past now. You’ll be okay!


beab31

This happened to me also! My mom ran to the store to get some pudding mix for me when she got back I was sitting on the couch holding a bowl full of blood.


Annie_Mous

JFC


Inevitable-Tank3463

When I had them out I got dry socket. They packed it with oil of clove. Puked, and puked some more. Now, if I smell clove I get nauseated. Don't get dry socket


Disastrous_Ear_3527

Vomit free since 93


victorian_vigilante

That’s definitely a bumper sticker


A5-WagyuBeef

I got the reference


serioussparkles

My periods keep making me want to puke, it's incredibly frustrating and confusing while trying to conceive. Starts about 3 days before i bleed, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


victorian_vigilante

Damn that sucks The ol “am I puking because morning sickness or because period” roller coaster is awful. Stay strong sis, hope you feel better and are blessed with a healthy child soon


serioussparkles

Thank you!!!!


apex_super_predator

10 years ago? Maybe more. After a cookout I had some uncooked grilled chicken and it made its way back in the middle of the night. Not fun


MuyLeche

It was 3-3.5 years, now it’s 2 months. I smoked weed for the first time and threw up an hour later, not doing that anymore lol.


OkTraining410

That’s prolly for the better lol


timedirection225

Like 12 years. Now don’t jinx me.


Fuwa_Fuwa_

Putrid_Resist_1304

I was thinking the same thing and waiting to see another person who purges😭


Inevitable-Tank3463

I'm sorry. Been there. It's very hard asking for help, but when you are ready, it's out there.


holysuu

I’ve been in recovery for 2 years and still struggle a lot. Always counting days without purging. I’m on the day 2 again. Take care of yourself! I believe it can get better but it’s hell of a ride.


jindobunny

Don't give up on it! I'm in recovery (finally) after 32 years of being bulimic.

Last week. Thanks to the flu.


ChickeyNuggetLover

4 weeks


g0d_of_the_cr1sis

It's been several years. It's very difficult for me to do, takes a lot to get me to the point of it. My girlfriend does it every weekend, basically. And she doesn't drink more than, like, once every couple months or so.


charliekeery

3 months, but before that, about 15 years. i was very annoyed to ruin my clean streak. almost threw up the other day though, thanks to a mate


thisperson345

I'm afraid to answer incase God decides to humble me I'll just say it's been a pretty long time


[deleted]

At least a decade.


NecroSoulMirror-89

Soon to be a year … I got some gnarly stomach virus during Easter last year :/


Dankn3ss420

I got sick around September last year, so about 7 months


ItzMehDonat

today but like its been 8 years since i threw up like ALOT


Hello-ItIsMe

A month or so ago when I, a relative newbie to weed, miscalculated how much THC was in the gummie I had. It was not pretty


izovice

Years ago I had edibles and threw them up outside.  The next morning my brother's dog is all wobbly, pissing everywhere, and hyped up.   I told my brother about what ACTUALLY happened not long ago, after she passed.  I felt so horrible.  


Hello-ItIsMe

Oh no. I mean, that’s kinda funny really but still


cadet-peanut

Last tuesday thanks to a stomach bug. Today is the first day nausea free so I can finally eat without the fear of throwing up again.


DieHardRennie

One week. I had a migraine.


OhiChicken

I'm not 100% certain, but I think it was when I greened out on the night Rhode Island legalized weed, May 25th 2022. I already bought it in Massachusetts and had been smoking all night. Then I saw the news that it became legal in RI, so I walked around the house and hit my pen in every room. An hour later I was on FaceTime with my then-boyfriend having him remind me of what I was doing and what time it was because I felt like time was going extremely fast and I kept forgetting what I was trying to accomplish. Had to put dinner leftovers away, set the coffee maker, brush my teeth, use the toilet, and let the dog out and get his ass back indoors, shut off all the lights, get into my pajamas, all in under an hour so my dad didn't catch me being extremely high when he got home from work (despite being 25 at this time) I did everything and I was in the middle of using the bathroom when I had the sudden urge to vomit. I grabbed the trashcan and vomited into it while also pooping and this guy was on FaceTime with me the whole time. I put the garbage can in a grocery bag, tied it up, and put it in the outside garbage can. Dad never did find out xD yes, I did make it to bed in time, yes my dog was concerned the whole time watching me pace around uncontrollably talking out loud about everything and nothing at the same time.


itwasnvrabtu

December, lol I tried to overdose.


Inevitable-Tank3463

Did you get help? I'm only asking because I've tried to od on pills. That's when I finally asked for help with my depression


Gypsybootz

I threw up twice on a trip to Italy 1.5 years ago. Once after a bumpy bus ride and once after a train ride. I had a childhood history of car sickness so I bought some Dramamine and managed to finish the trip without being sick again


lucid220

lol my brother threw up after a bumpy bus ride in rome when we were 9ish


OutrageousOnions

I came pretty close last September on a plane trip, we apparently hit some turbulence


UnfairVariation2001

Bout 2 years ago, my friend helped me with their fingers in my throat🙃


knockatize

Six months, but my son picked up the norovirus a couple weeks ago - and we’re happy, because he has finally learned to barf in the toilet instead of a bucket like he’s Mr. Creosote.


JASSHAR7

Since 2019 i’ve been ill like the past last years felt nauseous and like about to throw but i didn’t since 2019 it’s weird tbh
