Funny you bring that up. Reddit and people that use it are among the things that piss me off. I'm glad that one troll got outed though...For once a journalist actually used their powers for good...

I don't know, that guy seems like an asshole, too.

"You just say that because you're stupid."

Probably.

Oh, you're talking about someone else.

Point stands, however.

I've probably mentioned it before, but colds. I fucking hate em! I don't have much a problem with feeling nauseous, or sick in general, and sneezing and coughing doesn't annoy me too much, but it's the five days or so of my throat feeling like garbage that really gets to me and it's just started tonight. Hopefully it lets up quick. I'd honestly sooner go through one entire, like, bad-food induced night of nausea and violent vomiting than three days of a scratchy throat. Offer me that trade, I'll take it!

For me it's a stuffy nose that drives me nuts. Everything else I can handle, but not being able to breathe properly is the worst thing.

[megatronbison]

Yeah- when you are so bunged up that you can't even blow your nose and your throat is clogged with phlegm it can be totally disgusting. When you are trying to breath but struggling due to your own fluids it is a horrid experience :-\

I spent Halloween night vomiting aggressively for 8 hours straigh. The last food I've had has been 2 chicken nuggets about 12 hrs ago. Couldn't keep those down more than 10 minutes.

I refuse to vomit. I don't let myself. Even when I had the flu, last year, I still didn't allow myself to vomit. I've vomited exactly 2 times in the past 4 years. Once due to food poisoning and one due to inhaling whiskey into my lungs and expelling it through my nose (which made me sick for over 2 weeks).

I just man up and compose myself. I will not vomit again.

That sounds somewhat less than pleasant.

I always try to tell myself I won't vomit. Not this time! This time, I will keep it together. I'm fine. I'm doing perfectly fine. See, no problem. I don't need to vo- BLEEEEAAAAUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRGH.

As for the whole sickness stuff, I always hate the change of seasons. I have terrible allergies and currently I'm recovering from stuffy sinuses (and a blocked ear). Can't stand it. Mucinex definitely helps (the kind with pseudoephedrine in it, not the OTC stuff).

dooz, do you just fight the vomiting? I've done that before when I've gotten really, really drunk and it normally comes down to me hyperventilating for several hours. Sometimes that's worse than puking...

[dooz]

I just don't get that drunk anymore. We all have limits, and it's good to know what those limits are. Of course, to learn those limits, one must exceed them, and then puke all over the place.

I learned early when to stop drinking.

I made the mistake of having half a glass of vodka a few hours before I got sick. I thought maybe that was what caused it, but everyone else was throwing up too, I just got the worst of it. Turns out liquor exacerbates the stomach flu pretty nicely!

[thethird]

I think it's interesting that you guys actively fight vomiting. I mean, I get it in the case of alcohol (i haven't had that experience yet, partly cause i don't drink much and partly because the one time i was a half step away from getting blackout drunk the people i was with cut me off), but when I'm sick I find that I feel better after, you know, throwing up. It's a momentary respite but it's something, although if it keeps happening to the point of dry heaving it gets pretty awful.

I'm with thethird here.

I have an intense fear of vomiting. I don't know why, but I just do. I wish I wasn't so terrified by it, but I'm not exactly about to put myself in a position to try to "get over it". The last time I puked was in elementary school, maybe junior high, so we're talking 15+ years. I can't even be around people who are throwing up. The smell instantly makes me start gagging and feeling like I'm gonna puke too, and even the sound is hard for me to deal with. I can somewhat tolerate seeing it in a video, but usually I avert my eyes to some extent.

I've never been drunk in my life, so that's in my favor. Never had food poisoning. I have had norovirus or something along those lines, which is one of many viruses referred to as the "stomach flu", but they don't absolutely 100% result in vomiting. I wasn't really in the bathroom at all with that, I just had extremely painful gastric inflammation that kept me in bed for days (through Christmas... :( ) and I couldn't barely eat or drink because my stomach was burning so bad.

[Ike]

For as shitty as vomiting is, you do always feel a million times better after you do it. It's your body's way of ridding itself of poisons and it's something that really shouldn't be fought - it's like trying to hold in diarrhea, it's only going to make you sicker. Rip off the metaphorical band-aid and just puke for your own good.

One time I was drinking fortys and I ate a milky way. Shortly afterwards the malt liquor decided to betray me and I vomited. ...that was the best puke of my life; it just tasted like warm Milky Way.


I hate not being able to sleep.
