I was prescribed azithromycin by my dentist yesterday. I took it today. I just took a Zofran for my gastroparesis nausea and I also just found out that azithromycin and Zofran can't be taken together due to both having risks on the heart. So I've had 500mg of azithromycin, and 4mg of Zofran. But I'm prescribed to take 8mg of Zofran. I am so upset with the dentist for not asking me what medicine I'm taking and prescribing it blindly. And I'm so terrified that the interaction will make me vomit.

I was prescribed hydrocodone a few weeks ago for tooth pain. I still haven't taken it because I'm so scared it'll make me vomit, but the pain is super bad today and ibuprofen and Tylenol isn't touching the pain anymore. I'm just so scared to take the hydrocodone even though it'll probably take the pain away.

I'm scared of literally everything my stomach does. I get scared when it growls. I get scared when I eat. I get scared when I have gas. I get scared when I need to use the bathroom. I get scared when I'm nauseous.

I'm chronically ill and have been hyperaware of my stomach since I was 16. I'm 21. Therapy doesn't seem to really be helping with my emetophobia. I love my therapist and I've seen her for years for other things, but she lives in a different state than me ever since I moved so we have to do therapy over video and there's treatments we can't do that in person therapists can. All we can really do is try to redirect my thoughts and it doesn't always work.

I'm so tired of being afraid of how my stomach functions every day
