...for all that have nausea and discomfort.



Dew

Hi SunshineGirl,
I have less nausea now than I did in my earlier years. My eating habits have changed. I suffered from nausea dailey. My appetite totally changed. I found myself not liking a lot of different foods including coffee. I leaned toward comfort foods. I'm 98% vegetarian now. I like things that feel good in my stomach, like Dannon activia (yogurt), pudding, steel cut oatmeal, toast,all kinds of fruit, veggies,baked potato, once in a while I can eat some kinds of fish. My Dr. says it's RSD and meds. My bland food diet helps and is comforting. Flares do make the nausea much worse. Take care, loretta soft hugs

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

Thinking of you.

I have never been able to spell that word. sorry, I am constantly nausuas, I have to take phenegran three times a day to eat. I am sick if i eat, after I eat etc. boring boring boring. so it goes.

When the pain is very bad, usually for me late in the evening, I get to feeling sick. Also happens when I try to stop the pain with meds. I've noticed that before the painkillers actually kill the pain, they make me feel spacey, for like fifteen minutes or so. Then, once the pain takes a break, it settles down.

I take "Promethazine" (which is quid, up to 4x daily), but I only take it once daily prn.

It's a fantastic, and inexpensive anti-puke med.

And let me just say this. I can puke!
Sorry.

But, between the pain of the RSD/TOS and a TBI (head injury) on top, I'm almost like a trained circus aminal.
And, of course, wifey knows it.
"She can control me with my pain".

I pray, that this never happens to anyone here!
