Hi - I often become severely nausea (enough to get sick) when I am in extreme pain - primarily very early in the morning when I first wake up - if I've rolled over in my sleep, and I am lying on the back of my head (where my RSD has spread), or if I am having a bad head pain day. For a while it seemed like I was nauseas all the time, because my pain wasn't well controlled.

Tums help quite a bit, as do saltines and pretzels. I HATE to get sick, because it usually just makes my head hurt even worse. So I keep Tums and my Perc and a glass of water next to my bed, and try to settle myself down when I first wake up if its a bad morning.

I think meds can impact our stomachs a lot, too. I try to take my Cymbalta and Topamax after I eat.

Good luck, Sandy
