to be experiencing a prodrome

"The prodrome is a phase that comes before an episode of nausea and vomiting in cyclic vomiting syndrome. The prodrome phase, marked by abdominal pain, can last from just a few minutes to several hours. Sometimes taking medicine early in the prodrome phase can stop an episode in progress. However, sometimes there is no warning: A person may simply wake up in the morning and begin vomiting."

"Oh shit, I'm completely prodroming."
