I posted something similar on the
headache/migraine forum, so I apologize if
you are seeing this for the second time.
I'm hoping that someone can point me in
the right direction to finding some
information on what i've been going
through for the last few months.
I seem to have a constant, intense nausea.
It doesn't seem to be food related,
though the thought of eating makes me sick
sometimes. I tested it by going on a
liquid diet for about two weeks but it
didn't help much. Nothing seems to be
causing it, and nothing seems to help. I
cannot seem to vomit, however.
Along with that, i've had a migraine that
started about two months before the nausea
started. It's going on six months now.
I get very frequent bouts of dizziness and
shakiness.
I went to a doctor some months back, who
dismissed the situation as allergenic and
left me on my own. I haven't had the
money to try again.
Do any of you have suggestions on what
could be causing this, or where I could
start looking for information? I'm way
out of my depth here.

Hrm...First things first....Even though a
doctor dismissed your concerns, I would
definately go to another. You yourself
know that there is something wrong with
your body and the way you feel...Be
persistant until a doctor pays attention.
Maybe check with your own personal doctor
for a referal to a specialist. I know a
condition called candida does cause
migraines, problems with appetite, and
overall fatigue, but I am not sure if it
also gives a nausious feeling. I do know
that nausia goes hand in hand with
migraines, so maybe get your doctor to
test you to see if you fall under the
chronic migraine category...If you do,
there are perscription drugs that help.
In the meantime, try some anti-nausia
medication like gravol...Works like a
charm! But as I said, don't give up.
Find a doctor who will pay attention to
your concerns.

I get migranes frequently. One of the
symptoms I get is nausea...It's
weird...Food totally turns me off during
migrane...But normally..I love to eat!!!
Taking any medicine when you don't eat
will definitely upset it more. I love and
take advil migrane (gel caps). It's the
only non-perscription medicine that seems
to work. When I take it; I get the shakes
b/c I haven't eaten (b/c of nausea). It's
a viscious cycle!!
try to get rid of the headache and I bet
the rest will fall in place.

I had those same symptoms before and got
so frustrated over what was going on...The
first time it happened I was diagnosed
with vertigo...Very very horrible
thing.....Second time my doc didnt think
that was it, so I went to a neurologist to
get a second opinion...He told me that
what I was experiencing were migraine
headaches...Minus the headache....Its
kinda weird, but he told me a lot of
people suffer from them but dont realize
it because it doesnt come across as a
"headache"...I would def. Talk to either
your primary doctor or a neurologist about
this, because it could be a
possibility....Good luck, and dont give up
until youve found the answers ur looking
for
try to get rid of the headache and I bet
the rest will fall in place.
