the strangest thing.

The strangest thing happened last night.

I woke up in the middle of the night and it took me a moment to realize I was feeling nauseous. I was violently nauseous. I scrambled out of bed in a panic thinking I was going to hurl on my feather duvet or on the mattress and I did not want to have to clean up that mess. I thought vomit was coming so quickly that I actually considered bringing the sheets or even my pillow to my face to catch the puke or, ugh, to stop it from coming out of my mouth all together.

I made it to the bathroom just in time to spit the saliva that comes pouring into your mouth pre-puke into the tub (I really had to pee as well). Then I just sat there waiting to vomit. Instead of puking or even dry-heaving I just continued to spit out that gross out-pouring of saliva and then I felt fine. Well, not entirely fine. My stomach felt a bit sensitive like it does after you ralph your guts out, but my nausea was gone.

That was at 0330.

I brought a bowl into bed with me so I wouldn't have the panicked scramble to the bathroom in case it happened again.

And it did happen again. At 0430. Same thing -- violently nauseous and saliva pouring out of my mouth. I did gag and have one little dry heave, but then it just stopped as it did before.

Same story at 0530. I didn't have the panicked feeling this time as I wasn't anticipating vomit (I hate puking! Hate it. Hate it. Hate it!) but it was still horribly unpleasant.

Has this ever happened to you???
