Can't Eat Meat.....Please Help

Another issue I am having, and anybody tell me if you've been there please.  I have an aversion to home cooked meats.  I can eat meat if we go out and I don't smell it cooking but if we cook it at home I get nauseous and just can't eat it (no I'm not pregnant).  It started with chicken.  I smelled the chicken go from raw to cooked and I sat down at the table and just couldn't eat it.  This has been going on for about 2 months now.  For the next two weeks my husband and I are trying a vegetarian diet (he is so supportive).  I just don't know what to do, we have a freezer full of meat and I can't eat it.  And I know my husband is going to want meat eventually.  Any help, tips, advice?  Someone? Anyone?

Oh man if only extremist vegetarians and vegans could get hold of this secret and utilize it, us meat eaters would be doomed.

Have you had a recent med change...........I have known people that once on certain meds that everything had a metallic taste to it. It eventually went away.............As for me I long for a tall glass of milk................but I can't drink it. Yuck the thought of it makes me sick. I use to love milk. I miss my cereal at bedtime.................Least of my worries, as long as I am stable I am willing to for-go the milk....
    Maybe since the weather is getting nicer you can do your meats outside on the grill.......I don't know if you toy with an eating disorder or not............I do, and when I am in that place I also can't eat meat unless we go out and it is cooked and served to me. I have over sensory to smells so I get sick if I am overloaded with smells............minor, compared to being unstable..

Maybe the meds are causing some nausea and the smell of meat is triggering that. Otherwise I don't know what to say.
