Tagging the follower, Gonzalez answered: "Hyperemesis gravidarium (sic): look it up. You should be ashamed for throwing around a dangerous and serious term like 'anorexic' without knowing ano ba talaga pinagdaanan nung tao. Stop normalizing calling people names just because trip mo mang-bash. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

She explained: "It was all day, all night sickness. I would vomit 8 to 10 times every day and I lost 9 pounds... I still went to work, did meetings, saw friends, and none of them had any idea that my bathroom breaks would be to vomit. I would always bring wipes and mouthwash everywhere I went."
