Every one know what feels like to vomit, but did you know there are three different types of vomit triggers?
Miranda experienced the later.
I lost it. My insides clutched together like in a vise and my whole body convulsed as I threw up breakfast and lunch. After I had emptied my stomach, my body continued to dry heave and shake. I willed myself to stop before I hurt myself. I wiped the sweat out of my eyes and tried to stand up straight. Dizziness took over, and I grabbed the tree again. When the dizziness and panic subsided, all I had left were tears. Hot, thick tears fell from my eyes. I didn’t bother wiping them away. I took one step forward while still holding on to the branch for support. I took another step and confident I could walk on my own. I let go. I walked past the party and down the street. I turned left at the corner and then took off in a sprint.What triggered the last time you . . ., you know?
I’ve never experienced the latter before, and always thought it weird when characters did that in movies when they saw something gross. Hopefully I won’t have to come across something to truly test my gut.🙂
I’ve been close before. Most recently, it was a spoiled food.
That must’ve been something really traumatic to cause that kind of barfing.
I think last time it was because I had the flu.
I’ve never had a flu induced, but several food poisoning episodes, a couple inebriated episodes (i’m not proud of it) and one emotional reaction.
I think it was food poisoning, but it could also have been a stomach bug. It’s hard to tell the difference…but I was sick for an entire day. I hate vomiting. It’s the worst feeling!

I got food poisoning the day after homecoming in high school and spent the next three days doing that. I don’t want to use the word, to much. haha
The last time I hurled, I had the Norovirus. Two days of horror with my seat on the toilet seat and the trash can in front of me, followed by several days of weakness because I was completely dehydrated. My rib cage hurt from retching so hard. I hope I never go through such a thing again.
Yikes. That sounds awful. Glad you recovered.
By the way, thanks for stopping by Crazy Town in Looney Land!
You’re welcome.
What about a flu trigger? I think that’s what set me off last time…I had some sort of flu and it was not. pretty.
I should have added that as number four. I’ve never had a flu or other sickness trigger.
Wow! Good choice for V. I have a dumpster scene in my latest novel where my character vomits, so that would be garbage, etc.
Usually I would say it’s from food poisoning, the flu, or drinking too much. I imagine we’ve all been there once or twice.
Thanks for visiting me on the A to Z.

Easy to remember this one. It was five years ago, so I was about 57. Before I go on, I gave up the demon drink many years ago and I can’t remember the last time I had any level of food-poisoning.
Right where was I … oh yes, it was about five years ago. I got out of bed, at about 3am, in absolute agony. I pulled on my dressing gown and walked, or staggered up and down the garden path, until … the event.
I knew I had a problem because I’d been getting pains for about three years, but nobody could diagnose it.
After my even I was taken to hospital and the next morning my gallbladder was removed – complete with the tightly bunched stones that couldn’t have been taken out by keyhole surgery.
Everyone has a great vomit story. Happy you got help when you did.
