Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hey all, i'm allison, 19-year-old student. Firstly, i can't quite see whether this a group just for practitioners to discuss, or for patients as well, so i'm very sorry if i'm in the wrong place and will gladly leave rather than interfere.. my main reason for being here is unexplained nausea lasting months on end.. i know i have issues with dealing with anxiety and stress, and get sick whenever i'm nervous or stressed, and i got sicker for a couple of weeks before seeing a doctor, and getting diagnosed with reflux.. the first medicine only helped a little, the second helped a little more, but i'm back to just the plain old nausea now.. i'm not expecting a million people to answer, i was planning to just watch from the sidelines and maybe get some ideas of what it could be or who i could see to find out.. so it'll be nice to meet you all!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 born_of_beltane: Honey - this group is for patients and also full of excellent practitioner! Watch the group and you will see who they are. To answer your question - put Adrenal Fatigue in your browser and see how that fits into Your unexplained nausea. I'm not saying this is what you have - however - it certainly is worth looking into. Write back with your answer and I can promise you you will receive a lot of help! There are a number of alternative answers here - you just need to find one that fits your common sense and your lifestyle. Stress can really do a number on your body - but it doesn't have to be delt with with prescription medications. See if you can find a Dr. in your area who works in Integrated Medicine - I, myself, prefer the best of both worlds! , " born_of_beltane " <mysteriousdarkness wrote: > > Hey all, i'm allison, 19-year-old student. > > Firstly, i can't quite see whether this a group just for practitioners > to discuss, or for patients as well, so i'm very sorry if i'm in the > wrong place and will gladly leave rather than interfere.. > > my main reason for being here is unexplained nausea lasting months on > end.. i know i have issues with dealing with anxiety and stress, and > get sick whenever i'm nervous or stressed, and i got sicker for a > couple of weeks before seeing a doctor, and getting diagnosed with > reflux.. the first medicine only helped a little, the second helped a > little more, but i'm back to just the plain old nausea now.. > > i'm not expecting a million people to answer, i was planning to just > watch from the sidelines and maybe get some ideas of what it could be > or who i could see to find out.. > > so it'll be nice to meet you all! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 *phew* not in the wrong place then.. i searched up adrenal fatigue and some definately does sound familiar (for instance: i get suddenly so tired for no reason no matter how much or how little i sleep, and despite B vitamin supplements). however there are also many other illnesses and diseases that i can say 'yeah, i have those symptoms'.) A little info then...(read on if you dare- not suitable for those with short attention spans *grin*). I often feel slightly queasy, almost every day. i sometimes feel slightly.. can't quite find a word for it.. sort of faint, but not as if i'm GOING to faint.. its like i'm not quite intune with things as i usually am... just random, can't seem to find any reason for it. i occasionally, several times a day for a couple of minutes or so, with no pattern that i can see, get a horrible burning pain across my stomach. as i may have mentioned, i was diagnosed with reflux and given 2 different drugs for it, but this pain is relatively new.. its like when youre really really hungry, and your stomach feels like its eating itself (hahaha), but if happens randomly, even when i'm not hungry. every morning i wake up feeling nauseous, although today i woke up with my tummy region hurting on both sides (kidney area i suppose) and have been feeling 'blocked up' for a few days.. some fruits, especially apples, and i mean just 1 apple, not heaps, make me get diarrhoea the next day. my GP reckons thats weird but didn't give me any other answer. often my 'queasyness' becomes nausea or flat out 'i feel really ill', but i never throw up. when i'm feeling really ill (often while travelling or when nervous) i get flushed, my face and head feel really hot... and i get shaky. right as i write this, my head feels... 'heavy' (not the first time either) and i have that 'faint but not quite' feeling again... like i need to lie down, but its only just past lunchtime and i slept for 8 hours last night. and general quick stuff i'm 19, female, weigh around 52 kilograms, and was in general good health. i am clear of all stds (except herpes, i believe i have that), and as far as i know do not have cancer, diabetes or anything else besides a mild case of athletes foot and acne that won't seem to completely go away. bah! damn teenagehood... oh and fine lines!!! 19 and i have f**king frown lines that stay even if i stretch the skin!! *cries* god, you start getting over acne, and bam, straight into fine lines... thankyou all so SO much and especially for reaching the bottom of my long rant.. , " helen_1947_slaughter " <helen_1947_slaughter wrote: > > born_of_beltane: Honey - this group is for patients and also full of > excellent practitioner!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I would also recommend finding out more about celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. The brain fog and fatigue you describe is what I endured for 13 years before finding a diagnosis. The necessary diet has transformed me and saved my life.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi ! I'm new so forgive me if I say something that's already been said ! Has diabetes been ruled out ? could you be pregnant ? (sorry !) How is your diet ? consider the glycemic index of everything you eat (easy to find on the web), low gi foods stop a quick sugar rush and keep energy levels even. I find sweet things do this to me, a burst of light headed energy followed by sleepiness, nausea and feeling you need to eat something to stop from feeling nauseous ? Sounds like you are clued up on vitamins but don't take B vits on an empty stomach ! always with food or you will feel sick !! For relief of nausea, ginger is wonderful ! I used throughout pregnancies. You say you have 'lines', I'm early forties and I don't ! are you getting enough fats ? and I know it's personal but are your periods okay ? born_of_beltane <mysteriousdarkness wrote: *phew* not in the wrong place then.. i searched up adrenal fatigue and some definately does sound familiar (for instance: i get suddenly so tired for no reason no matter how much or how little i sleep, and despite B vitamin supplements). however there are also many other illnesses and diseases that i can say 'yeah, i have those symptoms'.)

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Adrenal Exhaustion is a possibility, also Gall Bladder.... If your GP can't find anything then seek out a NP....Chronic Fatigue and even parasites and allergies can cause the symptoms you are talking about. Parasites, fungus etc all attribute to acne, athletes food, nausea, exhaustion etc... I work with Adrenal Exhaustion and pathogens everyday in my practice with good therapeutic results. Diet is essential. Get rid of the garbage such as refined sugars, flours, alcohol, artificial sweeteners. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, less meat and bad fats. Make sure you're taking a good vitamin supplement, calcium-magnesium supplement and EFA's daily. Fruit juices are super concentrated and often have added sugars, eat the whole fruit rather than juice for the full benefit. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi I just read your post and it reminded me of a quick thyroid test I took a few hours ago online here.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 i took a blood test and urine test to make sure an std wasnt the problem, which it wasn't, and no, definately not pregnant (its been long enough since my last bf that i should be able to see, and even if not, i took a pregnancy test (3 actually) to make sure... not sure if diabetes would have shown up in the blood test... i'll get it checked.. i eat fairly well.. i stay well away from mcdonalds etc and rarely eat fatty foods... eat muesli with dried fruit for breakfast, lactose free milk (i like the taste), have white or wholemeal sandwiches with lettuce, ham. cheese, tomato, that kind of stuff in it.. and generally a meat and veg concotion for dinner; my parents are both in medicine and eat quite well (heart smart meat and everything)... fat for lines eh? please explain, if its not too much trouble...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi, I had suffered from nausea for 3-4 years. At first it would happen towards the end of a meal, then middle, then after a few bites. Then it was 24/7. I had some other stomach issues also so my doc gave me an endoscopy. (Scope down the throat) After fasting for 14 hours I still had alot of food in my stomach. They gave me another test wich is to study the emptying of your stomach. My result was that I have Gastro-paresis. A paralyzation of the stomach that does not allow you to digest as quickly as others, therefore food ferments and infections can set in. My first doc said he didn't know what caused it, gave me some meds, and I became worse. So I stopped the meds, dealt with it on my own and suffered for another 3 yrs. This summer I got a new doc, he said my gastro paresis was pretty bad and told me infection is usually the cause. He put me on Erythromycin in liquid form and I was better within two weeks. I'm told it will never go away, however, I do get relief with Zantac and the anti biotic when needed. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 hmmm. well, i have severe hashimotos thyroiditis. i used to get this weird hunger kind of thing, and the faintness, or dizzyness. i have low blood sugar as a result of the thyroid problem. slow digestion, etc. i remember that i would get sooo tired in the afternoon that i actually dozed off on the toilet at work one day!!! ugh. my skin was rough and thick feeling. dull looking. hair would thin intermittently. weak brittle nails. severe brain fog. edema and alot of stomach problems. i lived on gaviscon and tums. literally. very bad menstrual issues, only four periods a year, but they were doozies. severe sleep problems. finally, when i began lactating, and i have never had a child (!) i went and got diagnosed. oh, yeah, i have very sparse eyebrows, esp. the lateral half. hmmmm?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Donna, At one time I took Propulsid as it rushed the food throught the stomach, but it was taken off the market I believe due to it being a carcinogin or other problems. Have you read how taking food enzymes might help digest your food quickly? As we age, we lose enzymes. Protease works on protein, and there are products that contain all enzymes or just certain ones. Protease is a little tougher on the stomach the RN who sold them to me said, so she started me on the rest of them and after a month or so, we added Protease. It seemed to help my digestion, but I quit. I think I used to order from Royal Gardens. Maybe somebody can recommend some also. I used to suffer a lot of nausea and got to the point of eating nothing but soda crackers with water and even that, made me nauseous. Nauseous if I didn't eat and if I did! I'm starting that up again now, so I'm thinking of going back on enzymes, if very frequent small meals don't help. Food fermenting in the gut can cause a serious chronic condition called " leaky gut syndrome " . At its' worst, IV feedings must be done for nutrition.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 you mean that weird burning feeling you get when you're REALLY hungry.. except when you're not hungry?!!!! i don't have rough skin, except at the sides of my mouth, but i am only 19 and have visible fine lines.. so somethings very weird... menstrual issues yes, relatively regular (relatively, sometimes goes very weird though) but not the right.. colour.. goes brown WAY too early (like, 1 day) after starting, rather than near the end of it.. get so exhausted so fast, i struggle to stay awake and have trouble even just standing.. i can sleep fine though... *shrugs* please, tell me how you got diagnosed, which test.. i can get the same test and see if thats the answer...

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Rough skin at the sides of your mouth? I've only seen two other people who had that. Is it below the corners of your mouth? I sure would like to hear what anybody knows about that. I suddenly got that rough skin when I lived near a chemical plant, along with red, sensitive skin and " pimples " that didn't have anything to squeeze out of them. Most of that went away as soon as I left that area, but the pimples stayed with me.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 i dont know about the nausea, but the rough, red patches at the corner of your mouth could be lack of riboflavin in your diet. If the nausea results in vomiting, watch your electrolyte imbalance. Cheap Talk? Check out Messenger's low PC-to-Phone call rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 ok, so for anyone who remembers my posts, pretty recent... i now have constant stomach pain (like an ache), i'm tired and lethargic), i can no longer eat tomaotes or citrusy fruits without pain and sickness, and my menstrual cycle is being completely weird.. i'll have a period, then the next one will be 2 weeks early, then the next a month and a half later.. one was due 4 days ago and hasn't come (no, i'm not pregnant, unless its possible to be pregnant and stil have periods and no change in weight or body shape...), and also, it goes brown very quickly, wthin a day or so of starting.. i don't have any stds, the doc did a test... and that crazy menstrual cycle was going on a few months before all the reflux pain and stuff... also, i start feeling slightly ill when eating or after meals.. any suggestions? would it be a good idea to get a gastroendoscopy (i think thats what its called- a tube down your throat)... thankyou in advance!
