I completely feel you on this one. I struggle with this daily and just can't seem to shake it. I am in college and find myself worried sick about going to class this time of year for fear that someone has shown up with the flu. This disease is debilitating and sends me into a world of panic, stress, and extreme anxiety. You aren't crazy and unfortunately this is more common than you probably know. Don't for a second think your girlfriend deserves better just for that though. You have a disease and for people like you and I, sometimes we just can't cope. My boyfriend of 2 years has come to terms with what I suffer with on a daily basis. He knows that I'm being irrational and he doesn't necessarily understand it but he supports and comforts me always. As soon as I find coping mechanisms I will let you know. Currently my coping consists of popping anti nausea, anti acid, and others mess I probably don't need...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has some experience with this and can shed some light. I have an extreme fear of throwing up and will do just about anything to avoid it. Several days ago I was diagnosed with a UTI and prescribed Microbid (an antibiotic) to help with this. I have been unable to take it because a common side effect is nausea. Of course I have been obsessing online reading every review possible about this antibiotic and there is a handful of people who vomit on this medication. I know I need to take my prescription so that the infection doesn't spread to my kidneys but I just can't come to terms with the nausea which will in turn send my anxiety into overdrive. Your experiences and encouragement are GREATLY appreciated.
