Nausea is the worst! I actually get it at random times throughout the day and night. I presume it is from the constant pain I am in. I know I do not have a cyst right now, but recently had two rupture. It could possibly be from the pressure you are experiencing and maybe when you are laying down it is causing more pressure! I know this may sound strange, but the only thing that I have found that somewhat relieves the nausea is a glass of milk! I hope you feel better!

I have had nausea since I was 15 and it was the first constant symptom of my Endo. Sometimes it's based on hormones, as it sounds like morning sickness to others when I describe it, and other times it comes from my daily pain, or when I have severe pain and take lots of pain meds, that makes me even more woozy. As a teen, I would wake up with nausea from going to bed on an empty stomach and have learned to eat a light snack or have a hot cup of coco before bed. My mother and grandmother had to do the same, so I guess I inherited that trait from them.

I try things that usually help me ease my nausea, like hot coco and crackers (I love matzah, plain simple crackers) does the trick for me , or sometimes I will slowly sip a sierra mist but I don't care much for soda mostly. I have a prescription for the real bad nausea since I don't like taking drugs in general, but it's called Ondansetron (4mg). I originally got it for my migraine nausea but it helped so much that my G.I. continued to give it to me for my Endo/Adhesion based nausea.

Thanks! Yeah, last night I woke up throwing up. :( My pain isn't that bad right now, but you're right, it's more like a morning sickness type of nausea.

I do have Zofran, which I believe is the same drug you are talking about, Perseveres. The problems is it is EXTREMELY constipating for me. Like, I feel like with one pill I'll never go again! It also causes severe abdominal pain. I called the dr to see if there's any other nausea drugs and she said no, but to take it with a stool softener. (Duh...I've tried that....this is beyond bad pain that it causes) So, I take it when I can't stop throwing up, but that's all.

Tums are my best friend. I have nausea almost every night when I lay down. Tums usually does the trick.

Another thing to consider with endo/cysts and nausea is pursuing heartburn therapies. I'm not a big fan of meds, so I'm talking more physical remedies:
The hormone fluctuations that go along with endo or cysts can also cause acid reflux. Estrogen dominance, in particular, can cause soft tissues in the esophagus to become inflamed and contribute to an overproduction of stomach acid. Acid reflux can cause nighttime nausea.
Try elevating the head of your bed. This keeps acid down in your stomach while you're sleeping. It may help a bit with the nausea.

Thanks for the post....I have terrible nausea as well, especially right now that I am having a period (but not flowing). The feeling that you are going to barf at any moment, lol, sorry.

I too have been prescribed Ondanestrom which is Zofran and it's the only anti nausea that has helped me. I have a G.I. doc and have been dx'd I.B.S. for over 15 years (which may be from endo now I see). Anyway, what my g.i. doc recommended was taking Prevacid or the other similar otc med (I get the generic prescribed to me so I get covered by insurance). I take that in the morning 30 minutes before my other meds or meals on empty stomach. Then I take the ondanestrom later. He swears by miralax and I have to say after 20 years of suffering from the yo-yo of constipation/diarrhea, it's the best thing that has helped me and doesn't make my symptoms worse.

That's all I got. Here's to soda crackers, ginger ale/tea and no more nausea for us all!!!

I have been having this problem since I had my lap back in July. I just notice that it is usually when I am stressed out at my job. From time to time it does just flare up for no reason. Today was one of those days and I can't seem to throw it. The only thing that really helps is laying down, but can't really do that at work. So the best thing I can do is quietly barf and go back to school.
So I try to de-stress. The best things I have found are taking baths and using the Stress Relief aromatherapy lotion from Bath and Body Works. Breathing in deeply makes me feel like my problems are slipping away.

I had severe nausea (ended up being relate to my appendix), and like others have said, zofran is where its at, but I was also suprised to find out that benedryl can help with nausea (or even otc carsickness meds like dramamine). These also have the pleasant side effect of making you drowsy, which is great since you mostly experience it at night. Be careful what you mix them with though. Hope you feel better.
