Purging / Being Sick *possible ED trigger*

Psiren · 08-07-2007, 09:32 PM

Erm, this is a bit strange and pretty gross but it worried me slightly.

I've caught some stomach bug and it's making me sick. Except I keep making like I'm going to throw up but it only comes out like a burp that's really really acidic. It annoyed me and because I felt sick I just gave up and made myself sick. Well I made myself throw up once and then stopped, but that lead to involuntary vomiting for the next minute or so which is what my body had been trying to do anyway.
And every time I was going to vomit I had to make myself throw up first and then my body took over.
I don't purge often really, and I haven't for a couple of weeks. But I'm quite worried that that could have caused this. It's just it seems really strange as my body was clearly trying to make me vomit in the first place but I have to start it off.

Sorry if that's a bit muddled and weird but I was worried.

Have you already got a stomach bug?
What symptoms haveyou had with that?

Psiren · 08-07-2007, 09:44 PM

I started getting the symptoms friday.
Friday I just felt really nauseous
Saturday at 1am I woke up and I kept making like I was going to throw up but nothing came out. Which was the first time I made myself throw up and then discovered my body took over after that.
Then all Saturday I was vomiting (well like I described above) and had diareah (can't spell it ><)
Today I've just been sick and felt nauseous.

does sound like a bug. You had a temperature at all?

Psiren · 08-07-2007, 10:05 PM

I don't know. My mum said I felt hot but I never actually took my temperature.
My hands were cold and I felt cold =/

Many of my friends are poorly at the moment with these symptoms, They have had to get antibiotics to clear up the problem, I suggest popping off to the doctors so you can get the medication needed to make you feel better.

Do you feel dizzy at all?

Well I would say that ts not your fault that you are vomiting. With a stomach bug, your boy tries everyway possible to get anything that might be disagreeing with you out.

Make sure that you drink plenty of water even if you dont feel like it. Your body will need lots of fluids.

Yep just like Bitter angel said [Sorry don't know your full name =[ ]
Plenty of water, Keep yourself hydrated and ittle flush out toxins. Which is just what you need to feel a bit better.

I think a lot of the time you subconciously try to stop yourself being sick if you feel nauseous, so if making yourself sick in this instance speeds up the process then that's ok. My boyfriend does this anytime he feels sick rather than suffer the nausea, and he has no ED history. I don't do it myself but then I'm emetophobic anyway. If you still feel ill after a few days go and get it checked out by a doc though.
