Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Don't cry, my pukey pal!!

Hey you,
I am in a bit of a hurry to do my bit as 'domestic goddess' for the day (well.. cooking dinner and tidying..) but I had to log in and send you some love after I read your post!
I am so sorry you are feeling so low right now, I think we all get like that but there isn't really anything to prevent it or do a lot about it once it hits.. I think when we feel unwell for so long it is just bound to get the best of us... Well, obviously 'cause look at you ('nails', was it??)! I always said that nausea was the hardest tummy thing to deal with... When I was little and nauseous I used to tell my mom I felt like I was stuck on a boat! I hate boats to this day... Anyway!

Whoever else said something about trying out an anti-depressant might be a good idea... it might help even out the times you get low AND the one I am an (amitriptyline) is supposed to help with nausea.
Good for you for taking the plunge and taking your meds.. You feel so sh-- now, I really can't see a nausea medication making you feel worse... not that I blame you, as I still haven't got around to starting a multi-vitamin! The good thing about side effects is also that sometimes they just wear off OR you can just stop taking them, and the side effect goes away... One of the best times I ever felt was when I went off the meds my doc had given me for reflux, that was causing my D, and it just stopped. It was awesome. Anyway, I say give 'em all a go and see what happens.. you don't have to go out a lot, do you? So don't make any commitments and let yourself have some comfy days and try 'em out.
You're so lovely, I hate to see you so sad... You are always so supportive and brilliant to everyone else on the board, you definitely don't deserve to be sick all the time!
The other thing is, I know a month seems like a long time but once you get some tests done you might find out what's causing the nausea and the shakiness... it just doesn't seem right that it happens every day for no particular reason! Like... umm.... maybe you're pregnant... you know, since you were 7... Ahem, okay, so maybe you should leave the guess work to the doctors.

I just remember that a few months ago, _every_ morning I woke up I was so nauseous I couldn't even stand and I kept thinking I was pregnant which would be the absolute worst timing for me EVER and I think I was so happy not to be pregnant the nausea didn't bug me as much!!

I still get nauseous most mornings, though.. dunno why that is.. Oh my god, maybe I'm pregnant!!! <-- just wanted to give you a taste of what it's like in my head.. completely irrational..

Hope you're feeling better!
