I really don't know how to say this.... but i am so sick of being sick!!! cry
I have been nauseated for about 2yrs now.... up and down with how bad. I also have shocks believed to be from my cervicle spine injury and surgery. That just adds to the nausea and i almost vomit from it!!!! I just wish i could feel good again. I asked my rheumy about the nausea,, He said it's from the fibro... others say they think it's from the rheumitoid arthritis. Whatever the case may be.. i wish there was a cure. Lemonade used to work for me... but that's not working so good anymore. Being on the computer is starting to get very hard to do lately!!
Anyway, I am babling... sorry. Has anyone or is anyone dealing with this... and did you deal with it before you were diagnosed?? I appreciated your responses!!! (((((((( hugs ))))))))) for anyone who wants one.... sad Thank you, Laura <3

Hi Laura,
Gingertea, is what I use for nausea. Lots of water and sipping ginger tea, some pain meds make me feel more nauseus than others do. Sometimes its a combination. I use to feel alot worse before I was put on supplements, have your mineral and vitamin levels tested with your next blood test. I was extremily low in vit D, once I was put on that supplement I haven't had the same nausea problem.

When it was really bad I use to take nexium, that worked really well for settling the stomach. But as I said the supplements seem to have done the trick for me. I'd investigate further. Or ask your PCP about it.

Best of luck, golitho

Hi Laura,

UGH - two years of nausea - I couldn't stand it!

I suffer with nausea on occasions due to my Crohn's Disease - never really thought the RA could do this - you never know really do you?

Could also be the meds - a lot have nausea as a side-effect.

When I feel nauseous I drink tea - black and sweet.

Not much help, but do feel your pain.

Jo

Hey gonuts, I just read you're on arava. I was on that for awhile, 3 months, it made me feel quite sick, when I was finally taken off it I felt so much better. Maybe its your meds making you sick?

Worth talking to your specialist anyway, golitho

My sympathies go out to you-I've had horrible nausea from some of my meds, and what worked for me was
1) Nexium
2)Ginger Tea (from the Asian grocery)
3)Folic Acid (for nausea caused by methotrexate)

I don't know what state you're in, but here in Colorado you can get (edited out due to forum rules), which might help, I don't know, I'm just throwing that out there. The Nexium was the real miracle worker for me though, even though it's kind of expensive. Good Luck.

wow, Thanks for all of your responses. I have had this nausea way before I was diagnosed. I do take nexium, I guess i should take it more regular than i have been. blush
You all are so wonderful here, I don't know what i would do without you all!!! :-)
Take care, Laura

I'm sorry to hear you have such terrible nausea. Have you visited a gastro to investigate the cause? Does it happen after you eat or is it all day? I started having difficulty with nausea after I would try to eat, and would have horrible nausea and sometimes vomiting as well and had to visit the GI doc to figure out what was wrong.  I still take promethezine (anti-nausea pills) from time to time if I eat foods I shouldn't. While I'm not saying that you have GP,   I'm sorry to hear you are sick all the time, I know that feeling from having GP and it can be miserablesad   My advice would be to see a GI doc to find out what could be causing it, because it isn't normal to be nauseas on a daily  basis.  I hope you feel better soon!
