Back From Vegas

[tink]

Hey All,

Just got back from Vegas lastnight. I had a real rough patch for the first day and a half, due to emet. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] I got through the 9 hour drive OK, but as soon I ate something I felt really sick. I chose to eat macaroni and cheese, because I thought it would be super safe. But I really felt lousy after just a few bites of it. So I stopped eating, and just had water and tea. I was super nauseated for the rest of the night and through the next day. When I got to bed, at 3:30 all I could do was lie there and shake. I had these horrible tremors every 30seconds until I fell asleep an hour and a half later. Heres the weird thing. I am really unsure if I was really sick at all, or if it is all in my head. I think it might just be. How sad that we can make our bodies sick like that just from woryying about it. The other weird thing that happens is that I NEVER tell anyone when I am feeling bad. It is almost as if it makes it true if I verbalize it at all. I was with a huge group of people and just kept going. No one had any idea I was feeling bad. Does anyone else do that?

Anyway, the rest of the trip was pretty fun. After I got my head together and stopped freaking out! I saw a good show and lost alot of money. But it was fun!

It might have been in your head but I find whenever I go on long trips I get sick like a day or two out of the whole vacation. I always manage to get some sort of bad upset stomach so maybe it was just traveling sickness.


I remember this one time when we went to Santa Fe and I got sick the WHOLE trip. We drove to Arizona and to Carlsbad Caverns. I was so sick that I had to stay in the hotel the whole time It wasn't fun. Then again my idea of a vacation is to go somewhere sunny, sit outside with a good book and read the whole time. I'm not much into site seeing.

Hey Monica,

I felt sick at Carlsbad too!!! I really think it was because of the high elevation. I tend to get pretty n* at anything over 3000 ft. [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img] I always keep going though. Almost like ignoring it. I know this is gonna backfire on me someday!

I'd agree, I usually don't tell people if I'm feeling weird, because it does make it seem more real. And a lot of the time it is down to anxiety, I've learnt.

Hey Kim


I'm glad you enjoyed the rest of your trip.I do the same thing as you, I don't tell anyone when I feel sick because I'm afraid that if I do, I will get sick. I also shake like you do. I know the shaking is anxiety for me, but I associate it with being sick, don't know why.

I usually never tell anyone when I feel bad also, for the same reason, I'm afraid it will really come true. I can remember even when I was younger and still lived at home, I wouldn't even tell my parents if I felt sick. I think another reason that I don't tell people is, if someone thinks I don't feel well and they keep asking me if I feel alright, it makes me feel sick...does that make sense?

[tink]

Wow, that is really suprising that you all dont tell anyone either! No one had really brought it up before, so I thought it was only me! Good to hear.. And yes, I to dont tell anyone becuase I dont want them asking me anything. I am usually trying so hard to blow it off, and it makes me feel worse when people are asking me about it. I guess being with a fellow emet would be a bad idea in that sense, you would drive each other crazy. But at least you have the comfort of knowing they probably will never v*.
