I got so use to throwing up that the slightest thing could trigger my gag reflex and I would throw up. Nausea, per se, had nothing to do with it. I remember many times waking up with a mouth full of STUFF and would hope I made it to the BR sink in time. I didn't find anything other than time that cured it.
