I was having that problem at the end of last year & most of this year. I was hospitalized for about 2 months because I couldn't get any food or liquids down due to the nausea & became malnurished, needing IV nutrition via a central line.

Like you, I never really got sick because I hate that....I would just take a couple of bites until I felt sick, then would stop eating. It always has been my reaction to stress but stress never had lasted like it did this time....long story that has fallen under PTSD. While in the hospital, they gave me a med called Azmat (a nausea med used for cancer patients). Compozine I can't take because it gives me parkinson's reaction (how scarry thinking it was really the desease I had....not thinking that a med (a combination of thorozine & compozine) could ever cause that kind of reaction.

Actually there wasn't any med that helped the nausea because it was caused from stress. There are many things that cause nausea....cortisol level, dehydration, side effect to a med....etc. It's hard to isolate the culprate especially when there is mental involved. It was so bad that I lost 10 lbs in just a couple of weeks....& had lost 10 lbs not to long before that & ended up way below my safe minimum weight.

I have some promethazine left over from the nausea I delt with from my migraines & it now works a little when my nausea gets really bad. Phenergan & reglan wasn't given to me at that time but had it with the demoral for the migraines. I have heard that they work rather well tooI found that anything with any flavor made more nausea. It is very hard to eat when the nausea is so bad.

I hope you can get some relief before it becomes a weight problem for you. Keep working with your Dr & hopefully there will be an answer for you,

Debbie
