You're not alone, Catch...

I get some horrible waves of nausea. I take 20mg of prilosec (actually I take the generic CVS brand) OTC every morning, and it seems to help.
I constantly complained to my PCP about the nausea before and after my MS diagnosis. He sent me for a barium swallow and I have moderate reflux. I guess it's a pretty common condition for MSers. My former neuro told me that my constant nausea could be MS related, but I really haven't pursued it much further than that.
Pot is great for nausea and for certain types of pain. Unfortunately, it makes me sleepy and goofy so I can't use it as a go-to all the time. My mother in law provides me with a steady high-quality supply. It takes 2 puffs for me and I'm done, I guess I'm a light weight. Fortunately for me, pot was decriminalized in my state recently- the max my small supply could cost me is $100.
Aside from fatigue and pain, nausea is one of my most troubling symptoms. I usually get dizziness with it, too, and that's extra-fun.
Thanx for starting this thread. I really thought I was alone in this. I tried to look for co-horts on BT but no one else seemed to have regular nausea to the same degree.
