Emetophobia: No need to bombard with the same question. Many doctors will see your posting - and many can answer - even if you have already gotten a response. Repeating the same question clogs the feed of questions. Phobias can be treated with hypnosis, cognitive behavioral therapy, operant conditioning, Exposure therapy & psychotherapy. You can google these to learn more.
