Eddie:
Poor soul, hope you are able to feel better as the morning progresses, it can be a viscous circle of not wanting to eat and be sick or eating and being sick. Did you find your Rescue Remedy?
Did anyone see this article about the fear of the dentist?

Didn't find the Rescue Remedy >:( ......... I nibbled from 7.30 until 9.45 then my stomach began to feel queasy even though logically it's hungry so have had a doze on the settee with F1 practise in the background. Hubby keeps handing me various items of food to try :-* he has to bully me at this stage :'( ........ once I woke up we had a walk round and planned the next stage in our garden whilst I was munching Rich Tea and I have 1 and ahalf biscuits to munch now. He's making me a chicken/ginger/garlic mix for tea ??? FEAR is a huge driving force in this in that I don't recognise when my stomach is hungry and when it's ill. :'( I'm shaking all over as I type .............
CLKD:
I still feel vulnerable. Hubby made me a lovely chicken mix which whilst cooking turner my stomach but I ate small amounts all afternoon until Imanaged an almost 'proper' tea. He kept me busy all day, or outside watching the tadpoles and fish in our ponds, anything to stop me getting introspective.
I no longer feel like I want to die. The only way I can get rid of the awful physical feelings is to eat - which is impossible at the time and this can go on for weeks; or sleep which I was unable to do due to the facial pain.
Pain is still present but no longer constant. I've taken my anti-biotic and it stayed put; I've eaten a small breakfast and swalowed my AD and beta-blocka to stop the anxiety surges. I need to take a walk this morning to try and clear the headache.
Thank you so much!

I do feel for you CLKD. I have this phobia too. I can pin point where it started in childhood but this one is about you and not me.
As you say little and often. The fear of being sick is worse than the actual event for me, and others being sick is my big thing. Not a wonderful thing to have when you have kids.
You hubby is a star...you are a lucky lady. Hope things continue to improve for you. In a few days you will be back to normal.

He is a Star. He was begging me to eat half a biscuit whilst I was laying on the floor wanting to die :'( [just for me] ..... I could have kicked him actually ::) 'cos we've lived this life before >:( and 'just' doesn't come into it. However.
We had the walk, sat by the river and watched wild birds; I was tired but not uncomfortably so: he's had his camera out round our pond since lunchtime [which I managed to eat], taking photos of small damsels mating and laying eggs in our pond: my gut is rolling now though through a dose of anti-biotics and 2 Nurofen :-\.........
