    Awww, honey, I'm so sorry about your friend. Can you at least tolerate liquids? Keep hydrated. (((HUG)))

  • Go straight back on to liquids- your body is shocked. If you can't tolerate liquids get an unfill. It's going to sound gross, but crying a lot, can make mucus that goes down the back of your throat

  • Stress can do that to your band and you are going through some major stress with your friend. Take care

It's going to sound gross, but crying a lot, can make mucus that goes down the back of your throat. Yeah, that in addition to being really upset.

You'll make it through, don't forget to take care of yourself now. HUGS

Stress can do that to your band and you are going through some major stress with your friend.

Take care

(((Hugs))). Sorry about your friend many prayers being sent

do you mean it wont let you eat at all or the junk you use to when u got upset? If you cant get anything down you probably should see your doctor you dont want to get stuck or sick yourself, if it wont let you eat the junk you use to out of stress then that is a good thing but drink a lot and turn to proient drinks for your health so you can be there for your friend...I am so sorry for you worries and hugs to you and your friend.

I'm much better I think it was the stress and I am even coping better with the emotion of my friend because I'm not eating on my emotions.
