I just hate it.

I wish I could stay in bed all day-- and not throw up.

That's all. Sorry to bother you.

I spent almost all of yesterday *almost* throwing up. It was one of the worst days ever.

It was actually worse than throwing up.

We love you, oh Female Monarch of the Tomato Concentrate (, Water, Vinegar, Onions, Spices, Natural Flavorings, I don't remember the other ingredients anymore). You have our collective sympathy.
I hate throwing up too. I don't do it very often, though.

It all depends on why you are throwing up. If its because of a nasty stomach ailment, you have my deepest sympathy.

If its the harbinger of more royal condiments, you have my interest.

Get well soon! Throwing up/nausea is not fun. Not fun at all.

This might not be the place to admit having this condition, but I just couldnt resist.

Warning!!!! If you get nauseous very easily I would not read further, or if you are a sympathetic vomiter.


Some of us (me in particular) have a very weak valve where our stomach meets our asophagus.

Because of this every time I eat, unless I am conciously trying to stop it, I throw up a good number of times after finishing a meal. If I do not keep my mouth closed and swallow it again I would just starve to death, its like my body WANTS me to be a bulimic.

Usually it stops before it gets REALLY acidic, but there are a few occasions where it does not and that hurts BADLY. I can remember as a little kid running into a restroom so as to find a towel to soak the stomach acid off my tongue.

I don't even realize I am doing it sometimes until somebody nearby says, "Did somebody throw up?" The stigma of it all can be horrible, as I write this I just threw up my food again. Need I go on? Why not? I went in to a doctor to see if he could fix my condition. They put me out and put a scope down my asophagus. The doctor said that I was so scarred that by all rights I should be in constant pain, and that my body must have reached a point where it just started ignoring the pain signals that part of my throat is sending. They could operate to fix it, but it would only last for about 6 years whereupon I would have to have surgery again and then they have to work with an altered asophagus (they would have to fashion a sort of temporary valve).

So I am basically faced with a lifetime of eating my food which tastes delicious, but then finding out what it ALL tastes like meshed together. People ask me "how can you drink water before you are done chewing you food?!" Well um...you would be used to what that tastes like if you were me.

Have I sufficiently one upped you enough? [Wink]

Though to be honest I know that being sick and throwing up is different as you have waves of nausea and your stomach clenches VERY tightly together. Dispite this condition I find vommiting to be very relieving as it means the food that was making me feel sick has been ejected and I am going to feel better.

Now whenever you feel sick and throw up just think, "I know what its like for BlackBlade everyday!"

In all seriousness I hope you feel better soon!

Well, I hope I have a nasty stomach ailment. I may not.

It's a long and probably too-personal story.

Besides, I haven't thrown up at night once yet. Only during the day. Sun goes down, and I'm safe. [Wink]

my fav is when you've already thrown everything up you can, but your body thinks there's more to do so you dry heave and dry heave and dry heave and your body gets all cranky becuase stuff's SUPPOSED to be coming out but there's nothing left so you get those lovely dry heave cramps too.

Ah, memories...

Been there, pix. That was a lot like my tough days on chemo. The worst was the day I went into anphylactic shock from one of the chemo drugs. I was dizzy and having trouble breathing and was forced to lie back in a reclined position, and then they gave me some steroid that made me violently ill. Ever thrown up, over and over again when you could barely move any air at all in your lungs? It's not fun. [Frown]

Today, I had a CT with contrast and gagged several times on that nasty stuff they make you drink. And they make you drink 16 ounces of it! It's so hard to get all that down, and you have to fast before you come, so I was already queasy because I'd had nothing to eat or drink. Ick. [Frown]

I must confess Pixiest I do not know what its like to dry heave that extensively.

Belle sweetie, I think you win. I can't imagine chemo and how awful it makes you feel. It was bad enough watching one of my best friends go through it. (He had a lot of experimental stuff done that was really really awful before he finally licked it.)

BB: constant vurping sounds pretty awful too.

I don't think what I do has any aspect of burping within it. Its about 1/2 as powerful as actual vomiting.

Belle, I'm really starting to worry that this is NOT a virus, and it's going to be a nerve-wracking two weeks. But thank you, and prayers would be appreciated if you've got 'em (prayers that I'll be well and able to accept the Lord's will in this matter and have peace.)

<prayers for ketchupqueen>

There is a technique to throwing up, as there is to most things. Keep your nose elevated above your mouth at all times, when vomiting. Don't lean so far over that your nose gets lower, as stuff will go up your nose, and that is extremely unpleasant. Drink coca-cola in large quantities. Sugar molecules reverse the process whereby the blood is dumping fluids into the g.i. tract to flush it out. Sugar will settle your system down, and the fluids are good for rehydrating you. And in the worst case, it dilutes the acid and sweetens the "effluent" so that it's less unpleasant on the way up. It also is better to have liquid in there than to do the dry heave thing. It flushes your system better, which is the purpose your body has in vomiting.

Gatorade is probably good, too, but I think coke is better.

Good luck and I hope you feel better. <prays for kq, BB, MPH, and everyone on the thread who is sick>

oh I know I was assuming she was juxtaposing burp with vommit thus creating, "Vurp." I was arguing that since there is no aspect of burping in my condition it does not warrant the burp aspect.

This is such a strange post to be making, I probably exercise more restraint in the future.

No Coke for me-- Bridey gets fussy when I have caffiene. So I reserve it for extreme low blood pressure episodes (which I'm still having even three months after she was born. [Frown] )

I am sipping ginger tea with lots of sugar, though. [Smile]

I think it's just another word for that kind-of-vomiting thing. I know when my daughter does it, I call it "urping." No relation to "burping" whatsoever. [Smile]

She's a baby. She immediately regurgitates about 25% of the time when she eats. (It used to be 75%, she's outgrowing it.) I have a friend with horrid ARD who gets like you do. She also calls it "urping." [Smile]

They have caffeine free coke.

But frankly I think ginger ale is the best. And it doesn't have caffeine. For some reason the bubbles help my stomach, in addition to the rehydrating-sugar-non-dry-heaving helpfulness described above.

eewwww, Yozhik, and I was just thinking it would be nice to have a dog . . .

BB, you have my sympathies, I would NOT want your condition. Nor would I want cancer, chemo, or anything that goes along with it so I guess in the contest of who has it worse, you are tied because Belle wins for traumatic life situations and you win for chronic daily nastiness.

And Your Heinzness, I'll pray for you that all is well and that whatever the cause, you quit throwing up soon!!

(last time I threw up was about 5 years ago and I think I should leave this thread now in case it's contagious)

Incidentally my wife was completely unaware of my condition until I explained it to her. We were walking down the street and she said, "Where did you get whatever you are eating?" My wife contrary to me can only remember 2 times in her life where she has thrown up.

Hopefully our kids down the road will get her digestive system.

Caffeine-free coke is hard to find around here (you can find caffeine-free diet coke easily, but then that doesn't have the sugar.) Ginger ale is never a favorite drink of mine, and often makes me worse when I'm throwing up. Ginger beer (made with large amounts of real ginger) can sometimes help-- but only if it's a brand without too much citrus, which just makes me worse.

And imogen, that is EXACTLY what I've been saying! And thank you. [Smile]

I suppose Sprite would work too. The bubbles definitely help somehow. But real coke is even better. It's too bad you can't get it caffeine free where you are.

Speaking of throwing up...I hadn't been home from my CT scan five minutes before the nurse called from the school to come pick up Emily - she had thrown up twice. She'd been treated for reflux, and had taken prescription Prilosec for a while, but the doctor was hoping she would be able to get by after a month or so. Doesn't look like it. Poor kid is probably going to have to keep taking Prilosec every day, at least for the forseeable future.

The good news is that when she takes the pill in the morning, she doesn't throw up all day. But every now and then, without it, she'll throw up about 20 minutes after she eats. Very frustrating for her, she hates having to take pills and hates throwing up. Her activities don't help either - she's my gymnast - and reflux sufferers probably shouldn't spend so much time upside down.

BB, I sympathize. I'd hate to go through that.

It's bad enough that I vomit every two to four weeks since puberty... Only two weeks ago, I vomited for six hours straight... I hate it.

The only time I ever throw up is when I get really bad migraine headaches, which used to happen quite frequently. I would get them so badly when I was a kid that I would find the deepest, darkest part of the house and hide there in the fetal position. I usually get headaches around 2pm and it keeps me up (but functionally crippled) until around midnight, when I throw up. The odd thing is as soon as I throw up I feel just fine.

Go figure.

Sorry to hear about everyone else’s troubles.

dantesparadigm, how weird that you feel just fine after throwing up! Do you mean the migraine goes away? I've never heard of that happening, before, though most people get nauseated with migraine.

I, um, seem to only be throwing up in the afternoon now.

I'm hoping that a combination of virus and PMS is causing all my symptoms. I'm not sure if I'm quite optomistic about it, though.
