guys I got SO SICK the other night, I wanted to type this story out earlier but only started feeling good enough to do it now. I woke up in the morning a few days ago with the telltale signs of being sick, I was achy and feverish and just had chills all over. Spent the day curled up on the couch watching old episodes of supernatural and drinking gatorade and hoping it would be a 24 hour thing. Boy was I wrong. I went to bed that night and my stomach just felt off. Looking in the mirror as I was brushing my teeth, I could tell that my belly was a bit distended, poking out from my loose comfy t-shirt. My stomach felt heavy, like there were rocks sitting at the bottom of it. I finished getting ready for bed and moved to my room where I laid down and gently rubbed my achy tummy, hoping the unsettled feeling would diminish enough for me to go to sleep. But after half an hour, I knew I was in trouble. The “off” feeling I felt earlier had developed into full blown nausea, and I knew that I was going to be sick soon. Shivering and wrapped in blankets, I slowly made my way to the bathroom connected to my bedroom. With forearms braced against the seat and my upset, gurgling belly pressed into the side of the toilet, I took a few breaths, trying to calm the sick feeling. I didn’t want to throw up. I didn’t want the dizziness and fatigue and malaise that follows being violently sick. But the nausea increased so dramatically that I didn’t have a choice, I felt my diaphragm heave and suddenly I was puking wave after wave of clear liquid tinged yellow with bile. My belly stayed clenched up tight, my body going through the motions of puking after every breath I managed to squeeze in. I was at a total loss of control. I couldn’t stop. Eventually the contractions eased off and I could take a few shallow breaths without setting off my stomach again. I spit out the bitter taste in my mouth and sat back, one hand on my tummy and the other covering my mouth. After a few minutes the nausea subsided and I went back to my room. I tried laying back down in bed after, but the sick feeling in my belly kicked back in within just a few minutes. I tried to ignore it and go to sleep, but the nausea would surge up so intensely I knew that I needed to be somewhere safer… the heavy feeling in my stomach returned with a vengeance and I knew I was about to be sick all over again. Sitting up in bed, I took a few sips of water just so my belly would have something to puke back up, and I went back to the bathroom to deal with the inevitable. Will post part 2 soon!

Anyone interested in a full length irl fic of this latest bug? It was intense but there’s lots I could write about!

Some of the time (alright, a good amount of the time) at least some part of puking can be enjoyable to me. Like whether it’s that I’m being taken care of and someone is rubbing back, or whether I get to enjoy feeling my belly hitch as I puke, or even the relief I get after I’m finished and I get to feel better.

There are lots of parts that are still not fun at all, like the unbearable nausea leading up to it and the pain and the physical strain it takes on your body, especially when your stomach won’t stop straining and it feels like you’ll never get a break between retches to breathe.

But right now? I’m just annoyed. Because every few minutes I burp and just get… like… a nice little splash of puke that I immediately have to spit out. Wtf acid reflux. We are not friends.

ugggghhhh my belly feels so horrible😩

it started a few days ago with just some general bloating and discomfort, feeling really full without eating much, and my tummy just felt gurly and rumbly and upset. But after eating dinner a few nights ago I knew it wasn’t gonna stay down. God, I felt so fucking sick😣 after dinner my boyfriend was like “time to watch a movie then go to bed?” And I just went “think it’s time to puke and then go to bed” and walked to the bathroom, already tying my hair back cuz I knew it was no use fighting it. I got that sick feeling in my belly you get just a few minutes before you puke when everything feels so tight, like your stomach is squeezing in preparation to send everything rushing up. As soon as I got to the bathroom I was gagging immediately. The first few gags just brought up some sick burps, but pretty soon dinner was joining the mix. I could feel it coming all the way up me throat; all the food I had just eaten was barely digested and scraped my throat as I heaved it up. It was so thick and heavy that it came up in tiny mouthfuls at a time, my belly clenching so hard trying to get it all up. My stomach was really struggling to purge itself, but that didn’t stop it from trying, heaving over and over again and sending little waves I had to cough up and spit out. It was awful. I was flushed and sweaty and white as a sheet, and tears from the force of vomiting were gathering at the corners of my eyes. Even when I puked for the last time I didn’t feel like it was over. I went, “I’m not done” to my boyfriend who had been sitting with me the whole time rubbing my back and holding my stomach. I certainly didn’t feel done. I felt like this could just keep going on forever. My tummy stayed clenched up for a few minutes after, and I barely let myself breathe for fear that the slightest increase of pressure in my belly would trigger a gag and send another wave up. It was miserable. The rest of the night I spent either curled up on the couch or on the floor of my bathroom, but I didn’t throw up again. Even as I’m writing this I can remember vividly the sensation of all the food I ate, completely undigested, scraping my throat as I burped it up. Ugh.

Another fun IRL story for yall 😙✌🏻

If I can’t enjoy my suffering then you all might as well have at it😆

This morning I was feeling pretty good actually, and got up to make some grilled cheese and tomato soup for breakfast. I sat down at my dining room table, happily eating my meal as I flipped through my phone. When I was finished, I got up to make some hot chocolate. Grabbing my mug from the microwave, I went to the living room to relax in my chair. I grabbed my med bag (because, you know, chronic disease and all) and chased my morning medications down with hot chocolate. All was going well, I was relaxing, it was pretty nice. All of a sudden, not even 2 minutes after taking my medications, I got a dizzy feeling in my head and suddenly felt like throwing up. I sat there for a few seconds just trying to process what was happening in my body, until my stomach gave a distinct lurch along with a tightening feeling in my throat that indicated I didn’t have a lot of time before I’d be puking my guts up. Knowing I didn’t have long, I gingerly stood up from my chair and stumbled downstairs to my bathroom as quickly as I could without upsetting my tummy more. My stomach was in my throat by the time I reached the bottom of the stairs, and I knew I was almost out of time when my belly hitched and I suddenly burped, tasting my breakfast splash the back of my throat. Another few agonizing steps, which probably only took a second or two to accomplish but felt like miles, and I was at the door to my bathroom. There was no fighting it. I launched myself towards the toilet as a second burp turned into a strangled heave, bringing up a tiny mouthful of breakfast with a hollow choking sound. I didn’t even have time to turn on the lights. My belly squeezed again and gave another heave, but it was empty this time. It fluttered a few times after, but I could feel the urge to puke subsiding and my belly starting to relax. I spit out the remains of puke that were lingering in my mouth and pulled myself up off the floor, flushing the toilet and turning to the sink to rinse out my mouth. My face looked gaunt and pale, my hands shaking as I turned on the faucet. My whole body felt heavy and weak, but the churning in my belly had subsided enough for me to feel safe leaving to go lay down. I feel so tired now. I’m not sure what brought it on or why it happened so suddenly without hardly any warning. I take a medication daily that can make you nauseous and pukey, but I’ve never thrown up before or so quickly after taking it. So here’s to living in this shitty little body I guess🍻

Ugh my stomach’s not feeling so good right now. I’m not really sure what brought it on but I just started feeling super nauseous all of a sudden. I’m so tired but I feel too queasy to sleep... my stomach feel tight, like it’s trying to squeeze everything in it. It feels so constricting inside, like I won’t feel better until some of the pressure is relieved. I think I’d be okay if I could just puke and get whatever is bothering my tummy up, but my roommate is still awake and I don’t want to worry her. Weirdly enough I’m almost enjoying it though. Focusing on the nausea and the way I feel is kind of a turn on (even though it’s miserable at the same time). The nausea is pretty dull, just kind of sitting high in my stomach, almost at the base of my esophagus. It feels cold, probably from the water I just drank. I wonder if I gagged if anything would come up immediately, or if it would take a few good heaves to get anything up. Pressing on my belly makes it feel worse, and when I press in the middle of my stomach right above my belly button, I can find the most tender spot where it feels like a lot of the nausea is sitting. I’m massaging into it right now, and it feels like if I pressed any harder I’d have to sprint to the bathroom to get sick. I can hear my tummy gurgling and sloshing inside; every time it rumbles I get a tight feeling at the base of my throat that almost feels like the start of a heave or a sick burp. But then it settles down. Laying down seems to be helping though. I think I’m going to try and sleep now.

This whole being sick thing blows.

Some things about me: I am rarely ever “normal people sick.” Like yeah, I often feel like puking my guts out because I have gastrointestinal problems and a heart condition that causes all sorts of things in my body to be funky, but I hardly ever get sick with regular run of the mill bugs.

UNTIL NOW AND IMMA BE HONEST? FUCK THIS SHIT. WORST THING EVER.

my normal shit I can deal with. I can power through just fine. But not with this lol. I have a tiny low grade fever and feel like puking my guts up and I am WRECKED. And like... throwing up when you have a genuine tummy bug is so much worse for some reason. Like the entire experience is so much more vile and disgusting. A symptom of my chronic health problems is gastroparesis, meaning that my stomach is partially paralyzed and I have very delayed gastric emptying. So when I puke because of this, I’m puking because there’s food sitting in my belly that isn’t digesting one bit, and I end up barfing it back up and feel immensely better afterwards. Puking from stomach viruses is a whole different kind of hell. I don’t feel better after. I just feel sick and sticky and sweaty and wretched and disgusting. The taste is my mouth stays even longer, no matter how many times I try to rinse my mouth out. My belly keeps trying to empty itself even when I know it’s done, even when there’s nothing to throw up, even when it’s just a sip of water I’m trying to keep down. My whole body is on fire and I feel so so sick.

So fun personal emeto story that happened to me yesterday!! I am in nursing school right now and about to start working with patients (super excited for clinicals!!!) and I was able to receive the Pfizer vaccine yesterday! I feel super happy and relieved to have received my first dose and very privileged to have gotten it so early. Can’t wait to be Covid invincible! (or at least mostly lol)

DISCLAIMER: Just because I’m going to tell a story about a vaccine reaction doesn’t mean you need to be scared about getting a vaccine! I have a chronic illness so reactions like these are normal for me and nothing I need to worry about. With the Pfizer vaccine, it is common to experience side effects (especially for young ppl) and actually healthy because it means your immune system is responding to it! It’s better to spend a day feeling a little uncomfortable then risk the health of yourself, your loved ones, and your community❤️❤️❤️

So a little thing about me, I ALWAYS react to vaccines. Totally worth it getting them because it keeps me and the people around me safe and healthy, but I knew that I was probably not going to feel very good from the get go. Got my shot around 1pm, and was feeling mostly okay that day. I went to bed knowing that the side effects were probably going to hit me the next morning. At 3:30 in the morning, I woke up with the most intense wave of nausea, and was just like oh shit I’m going to puke right fucking now. The urge to throw up just kept washing over me, and I knew I needed to get sick. So I just kinda gingerly sat up in bed knowing that I had to be gentle so I didn’t immediately throw up, and slowly got off my bed and walked to the bathroom. Nausea is never fun for me necessarily, but I don’t mind puking too much. If it needs to happen, it’s gonna make me feel better afterwards, so I just wanna get it over with. I opened the lid and curled around the seat with my head propped up on my arm and waited. The nausea would start to build up and I’d lean a little more over the bowl thinking I’d get sick, but then I’d just gag or burp a little and it would back off but not go away. I could feel my stomach hitching with each gag, and I kept heaving up a little bit of stomach acid that would only burn the back of my throat (I really had not eaten enough the day before). After around 15 minutes of this I realized I was shivering, so I risked getting up and grabbing a blanket from my bed. Standing and walking made me feel a lot more queasy, so I hurried back to the bathroom. Wrapping the blanket around me, I tried to warm up while starting to really feel like I was about to be properly sick. I leaned over the bowl to spit out the saliva that was pooling in my mouth. I gagged hard right after and made a thin retching sound that made me scared I was about to wake up my roommate. I could feel the nausea rising in the back of my throat and leaned further into the bowl, knowing I was going to puke soon. After a few more heaves, I brought up a small gush of mostly stomach acid and a little bit of water. I coughed a lot after that, because it burned my throat like hell. Usually after I puke the nausea subsided immediately, but this time it took a bit. I just leaned back, closed my eyes, and tried to steady my breathing in hopes it would calm my tummy. After a few minutes of that, the churning in my stomach subsided, and I quit feeling like I needed to burp up everything I had ever eaten. I was able to splash some water on my face and go to sleep shortly after that and sleep for a few more hours before I had to get up for class. I didn’t puke anymore (probably because I didn’t wanna let myself lol) but I felt super queasy all day today. Hopefully tonight I can sleep through the night without waking up to puke, but if it happens again I’ll be sure to let you guys know ;)
