I don't post here very often but I thought my problem might be related to FMS more so than back issues and sciatica.
I have been having frequent bouts of nausea lately that leave me unable to eat and laying on the couch with my eyes closed. I don't feel dizzy but just having my eyes open seems to make it worse, if that makes any sense. I have not vomited but its been close. Yesterday I was just standing in the checkout line and it started out of nowhere. It progressed over the next 1/2 hr until I got home and just walking up the stairs made me want to hurl. This round started about 3-4 days ago but it has happened before. I think last time it lasted for about a week then passed for a month or more.
I tried ginger tea for it last time but I really couldn't stand the taste of it. With all the meds I'm on I don't know if I can take anything else and then again, maybe its the meds or some supplement I'm taking that is causing this. I did just start taking 5-HTP, not sure if that could be doing it. Any input is appreciated, I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance, its great to have a place to pose all these questions and know I'll get some kind of response.

Maybe its IBS, I dont know but I would check with my dr to be sure.
Maybe your pregnant, I dont have a clue.
Its just a guessing game for anyone of us on here, hope you feel better and find out what is causing it by seeing your dr.
I agree about checking side effects of your meds. Or maybe it's a combination of some of them. Your pharmacist should know.
But my bet is on the 5-htp.
Take care, and let us know!

For the nausea, I'm with you on the grossness of ginger. lol. But, you can buy it candied which I can at least eat a bit of and it really does help. I pretty much live on Dramamine. Try to get the non-drowsy.
