Hi everyone,

the couple last weeks I feel nauseated very often. This last week has been the worst, nausea is present 7 hours a day or more. I spend most of the time in bed which doesn't really help. I also eat a lot less than I'm used to. Thinking about food makes me sick. When I push myself to eat, it takes an hour to finish the meal. Even eating a banana takes 30 minutes or so. I don't eat - I feel sick. I eat - I feel sick. I can barely take care of myself. Also my blood pressure is pretty low which doesn't help either. Anyone had a same problem? I just don't know what to do anymore.

It's been almost 3 weeks that I'm on imasup now, though the problems were here before I started taking it. First two weeks I was taking 50mg/day, the last week 100mg/day. Also taking 1 Pentasa sachet in the morning and enemas for the night. My blood work is normal, calprotectin elevated - 173. That's the only thing my doctor told me.

I’ve had this just before my liver bloodwork came back elevated.
Dropped the imuran and it improved quickly. Unfortunately as the imuran left my system, my symptoms came back with a vengeance.

I had severe nausea when I started some of the drugs. I have some sublingual pill that helps that.

Any rare times my bowel movement gets in any way firmer, I have huge waves of nausea. It took a while to figure that one out. I sweat, shake, hot and cold waves, nausea with some relief about an hour or so after each bowel movement.

Ask your doctor for some Zofran (anti-nausea pill). It may just be your body getting used to the new meds.

Have you been checked for h. Pylori? Had an upper scope? And are you hydrated enough...Especially since you say you aren't eating. Your doc could have suggestions for a meal replacement with protein.

Have your liver enzymes been checked?
