I have had the nausea feeling which started about a year ago when I had a very bad asthma attack & ended up in the hospital. The asthma attack was caused by the smoke from a bad forest fire close to our home. The smell of smoke was the starting point of when the nausea started. It wasn't really bad at that time but when I got out of the hospital, I ended up with very bad heat exhaustion while out at the ranch with my horses. It was at that point when the nausea really started to hit even more. It has kind of stabalized for a while but was still there so I wasn't able to eat much....you see, I hate to throw up & when I feel that way, I immediately stop eating or taking in even fluids that worsen the feeling.

When the stress of my mothers health (she was dying of cancer) hit in November & the trauma from the home care RN that I caught stealing her ID & threatening me, added to the stress & exhaustion, I ended up with nausea so bad that I couldn't even get a bite of food in without feeling like I would get sick. Like I said, I hate getting sick like that after I had the stomach flu one time on vacation & ended up breaking the blood vessels in my eyes (causing the whites to become completely red) & broke the blood vessels in my face causing it to be spotted red all over. I realized that there are causes for my nausea & unless I am able to control them, my eating becomes almost impossible & my weight just falls off.

I want you to know that we DO CARE.....you are not babbling......& what you are feeling is very serious. Please take care of yourself & hopefully you will soon be able to control your nausea feeling. It is not something you want to act on at all. Buliemia is nothing to get started, however, anorexia (not eating) is dangerous too. The pdoc that the medical hospital had working with me told me that unless I agreed to IV or tube feeding that I would have died within a few days. He exagerated a bit but he was close to being right.

Please get some help as soon as possible & have your GP do some tests like mine did to rule out anything physical. They actually found some physical things that supported the mental issues I was dealing with.....it all ties together.....mental/physical, physical/mental.
