Functional Nausea

Posted by flow65 @flow65, 5 days ago

Hi I’m not sure if anyone suffers from Functional Nausea. Recently, I had an appt with a gastroenterologist. Her diagnosis is Functional Nausea. I’ve been scoped in the past. I’ve been battling this disorder for a few years. I battle it everyday with a loss of appetite plus heat in my esophagus. Even though, I’m nauseated, I am hungry at the same time. I’ve been on antidepressants in the past. Really, not taking too many meds. I’m on a ppi, blood pressure meds, amitriptyline and lorazepam. No anti nausea meds help, nor ginger and peppermint. I’ve been on bland foods also. I see a therapist. I’ve researched vagus nerve devices might help. My therapist wanted me to discuss this with my pcp. These devices are very expensive. Not sure if Medicare would pay for it. I’ve been working with my therapist to manage my stress, depression and anxiety. Has anyone dealt with Functional Nausea? Has anyone used a vagus nerve device for nausea? If so, did it help? Thank you for any suggestions and info regarding this.

You’re welcome. Two of our rat terriers have some health issues. We try to make them as comfortable as possible. Our dogs dislike clothes. No sweaters, nothing. You’re an incredible person. I’ll keep you posted. Please keep me posted as well. I’ll keep praying as well. 🙏🙏

Thank you for praying for my dogs. One is worse than the other. His name is Bullitt (14) and has syncope. Bullitt will hack, gag and collapse. Our son gets upset with us. He wants us to put him down and we can’t do it. The other dog, Radar (13) has gallbladder problems. He’s on meds and special dog food. The oldest, Copper is like a puppy. He will be 16 in July. He’s on meds for licking…allergies. You’re welcome on the prayers. I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. I know the feeling, suffering 24/7. We need all the prayers we can get including you my dear friend. I feel the same way about payback. I must of done something to have this. Dramamine and ginger etc doesn’t help. Our daughter has 2 rat terriers and they’re young. Both of them had hip surgeries. Recently, the one had 4 metatarsals broken. Had to have surgery. Good thing she has pet insurance. Our daughter in the last couple of years had shoulder surgery. One was a rotator cuff and the other was a labrum tear. She’s also having trouble conceiving. She is wearing a heart monitor and possibly kidney issues. She was hospitalized not too long ago. Doug had a rotator cuff surgery in 2020. Also a blood clot in his leg from a car accident about 8 years ago. Last August, our son was involved in an accident. He is an over the road truck driver and was rear ended by another semi. It happened in Ohio. He was making a slow right turn on a country road when it happened. It was such an impact, his whole trailer tipped over including the cab. He couldn’t get out of the cab. He had to kick the windshield out. State troopers were called. He was transported to the hospital. His leg was slightly cut. The hospital called us because his phone was still in the truck along with his glasses. Eventually he made it back to the truck to retrieve his belongings. The trucking company paid for a rental car to get him back home. Since then he’s hired an attorney for workmen’s comp and an attorney for pain and suffering. He had a rotator cuff surgery in January. Believe me he was terrified. Now he has physical therapy for a few more weeks. He hadn’t been paid since August. He relies on us. Plus, his ex wife isn’t very nice. Since he has a daughter, his child support is way overdue. So I know my stress is over the top. His personality can be overwhelming. He’s hot tempered somewhat like me. I don’t like going anywhere because I feel awful. But my therapist told me to try to get out and do things. I don’t like doing things anymore. I believe I have social anxiety. It’s so so difficult. Besides all of these issues, my sister has lung cancer. She was a smoker for years and stopped. The dr told her to get a CT done. Had a small spot on her lung. She waited it out and didn’t want to do a petscan. Eventually she did and both lungs had tumors. Couldn’t operate. She had chemo and Keytruda. Recently, the tumors had shrunk. Probably be on Keytruda the rest of her life. She is almost 75. I have my therapist today. Dogs get their nail trims done tomorrow and I have a gyne visit (most likely I’ll be nauseous). Good luck with your appointment. Sending you my prayers and hugs. I really understand what you’re going through. I hardly ever feel like eating anything. I don’t cook so we either go out to eat (which sounds strange because I don’t like going out) or order out. I think I wrote a book. Good luck with your drs visit. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep me posted as well. I’ll try not to write so much the next time.

Hi, @flow65 - you mentioned you're nauseated and hungry at the same time. How do you manage both of these together?

Thank you again, my dear friend. You’re welcome. Yes, it is a mess with the attorneys. I am so sorry when your husband passed. It had to be a horrible experience. I’m crying thinking about what you went through. I’m trying to be strong. Yes, I’ve been seeing a psychiatrist for awhile. I’m sending hugs to you. I have my gyne visit tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be nauseous as well. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers. Sending prayers to you. From your dear friend.
