Re: nausea and thick mucus

[Guest guest]

Eileen,Thanks so much for responding. It's really reassuring to know that your nausea eventually started to get better. Mine's been with me about a year now, so I'm hoping I'll see some improvement soon.No, nothing really helps with the mucus issue. I'm wondering if it might not be an acid reflux, or maybe candida. The folks on the group are giving me food for thought.Thanks again for the encouragement.KathyCD 10/08SCD 8 monthsTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 12:56:11 PMSubject: Re: nausea and thick mucus

that was my only symptom when i got sick 2 years ago -it gave docs such a hard time - it's a vague symptom but had me down to 83 lbs from 100 and i demanded all the tests that led to my dx - but ..having said that - it was 2 years ago and the 24/7 nausea was there even well into scd - then I'd get longer breaks without it - and now - rarely get it - AMEN!! and get scared silly when it comes that it won't go- LOL -but it does :-)

yours sounds more of a mucous issue though - does anything alleviate that?? having no dairy or breathing hot steam , soup etc ..that in turn may help the nausea - but there wasn't a nausea remedy for me or anything that made it worse etc - it's just awful i PRAY yours passes soon

I can speak to chronic nausea. That is one of my symptoms; have had it for six years. I keep Phenergan (promethazine) on hand since my body has a 10 to 14 day cycle when the nausea becomes severe and I can use the relief for a few hours and get some sleep.

I've found my food choices play a big role in the level of nausea, and what I eat when. I get some nausea every time I swallow, but I can manage the severity except for that regular cycle of a day when nothing helps. I eat the most difficult-to-digest foods (for my digestion) in the middle of the day, as the nausea gets worse as the day wears on. My food choices play a role as well -- I don't eat the high-carb SCD legal foods as they trigger severe nausea, among other symptoms.

I have been diagnosed with Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, along with a few other upper GI disorders all involving motility, and a number of neurological issues as well. My upper GI is ultra-sensitive, and unfortunately for me, nausea and right-upper-quadrant pain is chronic. Even doing exercises will aggravate my upper GI....

But as long as I can keep the nausea to minimal levels most of the time, and have learned what to do in order to keep the nausea from lasting too long, I do OK. I use Phenergan only for the really severe nausea episodes.

And there are other nausea meds. available if you want to discuss it with your doctor. Zofran is one that comes to mind, and I know there are others.
