Ever since I can remember, I have been PLAGUED with a strange illness that I am only now beginning to try to figure out. I don't remember much of how I felt when I was a child and it happened, but new that even at a young age I would be admitted to the hospital due to vomitting. I am 22 years old now and the issue still follows me around. It happens almost every year, sometimes twice in a year, sometimes skipping one or even two, though it seems it has been getting more frequent as I get older. The symptoms are strange; I will wake up feeling fine, but within about half an hour or so, I get this intense fluttering in my stomach. Not a typical naseous feeling, but something I can only describe as feeling extremely nervous. Like I'm about to speak infront of the entire world. The "fluttering" is so intense all I can do is vomit, and that is just what I end up doing for up to 10 or 12 hours. I also feel very anxious, and find that pacing back and fourth seems to help for a bit, though eventually I get so weak that I cannot move. I hyperventilate and the doctors always have to tell me to slow down my breathing, which isn't easy. I always go to the hospital, go through a slue of testing (everything from ultra sounds, xrays, bloodwork, a disgusting tasting berium drink) only to find out that nothing is wrong. So I began to think that it was due to stress. I know that I'm a very nervous person, I shake when I'm around people, especially if the focus is on me (i.e at work), it's hard for me to open up to people and have normal conversations (though of course i do have some friends that I feel okay with). My doctor recently put me on celexa and I felt as if my nerves were slowly calming down. I still felt panicked at work and nervous, but it didn't bother me as much. I even found myself moving up in my job (all within a month). However a couple of days ago I got the darn vomiting spell again. I obviously know drugs aren't the answer, they were just given as a stepping stone to help move me along, but I don't know what else to do! I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, but I was just wondering if maybe this is all something bigger. Even if they aren't finding something, or if it's truly all a mental issue.

Sorry if that was long, just wanted to clarify :-P
