Sickness strikes! →[More:]I was ill over New Year with a stomach bug that hit me out of the blue. I was never a puker, even in my worst days of drinking. I hate throwing up.

I think I'm coming down with it again. I can feel that slow, awful build-up of nausea and that twitchy feeling in my stomach. I don't think it'll be long before I'm in the bathroom.

Dammit!

No, not a chance of that.

I totally feel for you, jan. I have puke-phobia. Can't do it without bawling like an injured baby.

Do they have something like Emetrol over there? I helps a bit, but mostly just puts off the inevitable.

I think I'd rather get the inevitable out of the way. At least I don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Ouch that doesn't sound fun. How about some ginger tablets? Or ginger ale?

(((essexjan)))

This calls for snuggling in bed with a favourite book, dvd, etc. and a cup of ginger tea.

Hope you feel better fast, EJ, especially since you have a celebratory weekend coming up!

Hard Candy.

Ginger. Ginger Ale.

Peptobismal to make the throw-up smell nice.
