    Hi Susan

    I find the anxiety associated with this is very debilitating. What works for me is progressive muscle relaxation ( I can send you a link to a really good one) and mindfulness meditations. In addition to this plenty of distraction! It's the nausea associated with the anxiety that I find tough so I also take an anti sickness tablet in the morning so I can eat. I've lost a stone since Christmas due to anxiety so I tend to eat in the brief respites when I'm not nauseous.

    I hope you find something that works for you. Big hugs, Anita x
