Player #2392447, how does one arrange not to vomit? It usually gets me from a completely unknown source.

A friend of mine had this. She then moved abroad and had 9 children! I often wondered how she coped with this fear whilst raising them all...

In previous employment, I had to clean up any and all bodily emissions. You didn't have to like it but you had to do it.

ImplacableMedic72287, I suffer from it too. I'm scared of also seeing others vomit. It is dibilitating.

Phenergan is a great anti emetic medication, Zofran doesn't come close for me. A decent OTC anti emetic is Emetrol, but depends on what is causing the vomiting.

I think everyone has this to a certain degree. It is immensely painful.
