Vomiting in public is the worst!

[Deleted]

I got sick at school 6x and spent 45 min on the bathroom floor. Still had shooting pains but thought I was in the clear because there can't be anything left in my stomach - I haven't eaten for 5.5 hours.

Had to get off the train early and *almost* made it out the doors before I puked. At least I caught it in my hands?

Thank you to the kind woman who offered hand sanitizer.

Omg That is one of my anxiety triggers--the fear of puking in public. So sorry, taco.

[explorer2001]

Oh! I hope you feel better soon.

[EmilieMadison]

OMG, that is the WORST! I'm so sorry
When I was pregnant I had really bad morning (er...all day) sickness and the weirdest things would trigger it. Like the horrible scent of Abercrombie & Fitch. I puked right outside that store, but thankfully into a trash bin. Fun.

I'm sorry. DS vomited all over himself in Target a few weeks ago. And a little on me. I *knock on wood* have never gotten sick not in a toilet in public except when I was trashed.

[auberge]

Oh no! Flu?

[catbus]

Ugh, I'm so sorry! That sounds brutal. Food poisoning?

That's not weird. I've nearly puked due to that smell when I was neither pregnant nor sick.

uggh how awful! I puked in a trash can in the middle of the day after having lunch once. It was in the middle of a very busy parking lot.

[Deleted]

Omg I just puked again. I just want it to stop!

No bug - I just can't tolerate iron pills. I'm okay for a while, then this happens. I start IV infusions next week so I don't think I'm going to take them anymore.

Emilie, I get A&F. They are obnoxious with the cologne!

Or steak! It helps too.

I'm sorry. I puked in the middle of the produce section once. It was just a random stomach bug that hit quickly and violently.

Oh lord. I'm so sorry. I have a huge fear of puking in a public restroom. When I was having issues with my gallbladder, sometimes I vomited. I prayed it wouldn't happen at work.

I just threw up three more times. It costs $25 to page my doctor now - but I probably shouldn't do that, right? She can't do anything for vomiting and stomach pain, correct?

[Kore]

Yes, she can! Zofran might help.

Omg thanks kore. Calling now!

benadryl can help

That is an awful thing (don't feel alone -- been there, done that!). So embarrassing and it is awful when you can't get into a private space to clean up.

Feel better!!

[Kore]

Good luck! It's humiliating, but don't be afraid to ask for the suppository version if you think you'll end up vomiting up a pill.

[Brie]

Are you sure it's not norovirus? H and I had that earlier this week and it's going around EVERYWHERE. Sounds exactly like what you described.

It sucked a lot but we were better fairly quickly.

[miss1991]

You poor thing. So sorry you are sick. All of my family has had this illness in the past month. Hope you feel better soon! Did not read the part it is from iron pills. Obviously i am sure this was suggested but i think the sell iron pills for sensitive stomaches. try to eat something also before taking. feel better soon!

[Deleted]

OMG! I am so sorry!

[Deleted]

Just vomited five more times. Im so fucking miserable.

I guess I can't rule out a stomach bug but I don't have a fever and this is the same shooting stomach pains I have when my iron has made me sick in the past.

[Deleted]

If anyone's curious that's 17x in 2.25 hours. I'm going for a record here.

[anniegoolahey]

I hope you feel better soon!

One day in Walmart my son made *that face* and I knew he was going to vomit. My instincts kicked in and I grabbed the nearest thing that would keep it from hitting the floor. Unfortunately, that meant I had to walk through half of Walmart with vomit inside of a neon green plastic bowl with a straw attached.

Thank goodness no one had a camera. I was sure I'd be featured on People of Walmart.

[anniegoolahey]

You're going to get dehydrated quickly at this rate. I'd call.

[luvmagoldn]

Oh no - feel better!

[auberge]

OMG. Did you call?

[rikki]

I am so sorry. I sympathize.... Hope you're feeling much better soon and that the source of your puking is not the same as mine!!

[Deleted]

That's way too much vomiting. You need to call a doctor or go to urgent care. You're going to make yourself more severely ill if you keep throwing up.

I am not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure if you throw up more than a handful of times you need medical attention for fluids/electrolytes.

Sorry! Hope you feel better soon. Being sick to your stomach is the WORST and I agree it sucks even more being in public. The last time I had a stomach bug it started when I was on my college campus and it was so difficult to even walk, let alone drive home and get into my apartment. That was the worst night of my life that I recall so I know exactly how you feel. Hope it passes soon!
