Re: Is anyone having this problem? Yes I am

[Guest guest]

Sue,

I am having the same problem. The hormone thing may be a factor as I

feel exactly as I did when I was pregnant (like I am on a moving ship

all day). I also find that eating alleviates the symptoms for very

very short periods (as it did when I was pregnant). Because of that

and my limited stomach capacity I eat small meals about 5 or 6x per

day. That is pretty scary since I gained 70pds when I was pregnant

by constantly grazing (although I realize the quantity and

malabsorption will not allow that now...the mindset is there).

Only Tums gives me substantial relief and even that is for 30-40

minutes at most. If I were to let myself I would intake entirely too

many Tums all day but I try not to. I drink ginger tea & peppermint

tea but that only helps for short periods as well.

I am pretty miserable about it but am just trying to deal in the hopes

it subsides. I wish I wasn't going back to work on Monday with this

queasy feeling hanging over me as it really sucks the little energy I

have right out of me. It also contributes considerably to my

moodiness since it is hard to be pleasant when you are walking around

with somewhat of a " base " nausea all day.

If you find anything that helps not already mentioned let me know.

You can find me hanging on to the rail leaning over the side of the

When I was pregnant my perinatologist told me to try Unisom - I think that's

what it's called. Anyway, it's an OTC drug that aids sleep normally, but

has the side effect of settling the stomach. It really works. Both with

the nausea - and the sleep. Ask your doctor before trying it tho...
