I keep reading about so many of you who get hazy or dizzy or palpitations. Do any of you have throwing up and dry heaves as one of your symptoms? I would rather die than vomit. And with others with me? Or in the car? Big time misery and humiliation and Fear.The fear of being sick in public terrifies me and I feel like a total insane loser usually. I avoid things when my stomach hurts and I feel like I am gagging,so to go anywhere I won't eat till I am back home and know I am okay. Please tell me someone that you know what I mean?

thanks,
Jill

yup, nausea is my main problem with I get anxious when out in certain places. Restaurants especially. I have gotten sick and so now I avoid it if I can or if IM out with people its all I can think about so I withdraw from conversations, etc because im worried about when its going to come on.

thanks for letting me know I am not the only one with the dilema. I think it's fixable and I am hoping it won't last. I miss going out more with my friends.

good luck, i think part of it for me is theanticipating it happening that builds and builds. IM working on just going, not thinking about it. Just be present with people and relax. I think relaxing is the key to learnin gto overcome it.

I have the same exact thing except sometimes I can't even eat when I am home all by myself. I fear that someone might call and then I will throw up when I'm on the phone with them! The biggest problem with stopping it is that I will feel great for a couple weeks and then forget to do the relaxation techniques and then it comes back for another 4-5 days of hell! Just keep doing relaxation and the program when you are feeling fine and then I think it is curable.

Thanks Fixme and Harding
I think you are right I have got to get the
relaxation down. I know that there are soothing calming foods like banabas and apples so I eat those more. I had a terrible day filled with acid reflux from breakfast. Coffee/decaf and some cheerios and It tore me up.
My body was probably in shock that I wasn't having donuts or pastry..LOL
and that I actually had some Fiber! Holy Cow what was I thinking.

I also woke up feeling overwhelmed looking at my complete set of the program DVD's and CD's. As if I have to complete college in 15 weeks. I may have to put the box away and only keep out the first set of sessions? Yikes.
Goodnight and thanks again for sharing.

I have same problem with nausea. It then leads to anxiety.God I thought I was alone. Its almost like i get up normal and wait for nausea to start. Lets get better together and chat.Im at VSSCTravel@aol.com.Let me know when we can chat.That goes for anyone. I just finished week 1 and hope success will be in future

I also have a problem with nausea. It is one of my main symptoms. I always have to have pepto or imodium on hand at any time and often take it before I think I will need it to keep it from happening.

That is my main problem also.It triggers anxiety and panic. Your not alone I just learned that. Thought i was alone but were not
