First Blog in a While That Complains About Nausea

So I haven't been blogging in a while, mainly due to school work and recurrent nausea, but as I have a spare moment before going out, and I'm feeling horribly nauseous once again, I thought I'd fill you in.

Anyway, since Christmas I've been having horrible stomach problems - mainly I've been feeling sick and haven't been eating properly. I've had blood tests showing that I'm neither coeliac or aneamic, and I've done trial runs into seeing if I'm lactose/dairy intolerant and its not that either. So the other option is anxiety. We all know I get worked up over the tiniest thing, so when something big happens I get even more worse than usual. I've been having counselling for the anxiety and also my sick phobia (which on top of stomach aches is no picnic when you're scared of throwing up - when I think that, I get anxious, which makes the stomach worse, in turn making me think I'm going to vomit) but it doesn't really seem to be going that well.

I've seen many many doctors, one saying that its IBS, others saying its anxiety, and one saying that it may even be in my head. Which was...nice. As I type this I feel terrible, and its not really a stomach ache, its more of an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and its just annoying because I'm due to be going out in half an hour and its to have something to eat, which I'm dreading. Ugh. I tell you, if there was such thing as a stomach transplant, I would be the first one to have it.
