Does the pain from fibro sometimes cause you nausea? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

I was wondering if any of you experience nausea from your fibro pain? I get it when I ache all over. It's almost like a pounding headache all over the body. Also when my fibro is flaring and I'm in a car, it makes me motion sick. I never had motion sickness until I got fibro. I guess it has something to do with the inner ear not being in balance. Could you share your experience with these symptoms? Thanks!

Hi,

I get nauseous from it, yes, and from migraines. When I'm in a flare, I go around asking people "Is there a stomach bug going around?" (I would so love to just have it be something temporary, and I do like to explain things away...). "No," they say.

Well, since this happens every time I flare, maybe I should stop asking?

Sometimes, though, with the aches and pains and these symptoms that come and go, the fibro feels like a flu with nausea.

jaust my experience, but I don't think you're alone in this.

Hope you're doing okay,

Seaturtle

Hi Seaturtle! Cute name

You're right....it feels like the flu with nausea sometimes...just a yucky feeling! Lyrica helps me so much and I'm not near as bad as I was before I was taking it, but my pain is coming back and it's got me feeling down. I guess I have to increase my Lyrica dosage. I just don't want to go back to the way I was feeling before....like I always had the flu. I hope you're doing okay as well! Take care

I get the nausea too. That was one of my first symptoms when I realized something wasn't right. It comes and goes. This morning on my way into
work I thought I was going to get sick...throw up

But I never do.
Look out if someone has perfume on too. Really strong smells are intolerable like loud sounds. Do loud sounds bother anyone too? If there's a lot of people
talking all at once makes me irritable. Too much sensory going on.
The dizziness scares me the most like the one I had today at work...light headed. I just stand there for a minute until it passes. Sometime I just wish it would just take me out all ready- (Pass Out) so I can go There! See! I told you something was wrong!! All the while hoping NOOOO! That would be so embarrising!
Anyway I finally have a doctors appointment in October. New doctor. Then I find out how they feel about fibromyalgia. And hope they'll refer me. What a pain!!!

Yes! I have the nausea too, along with the sensitivity to perfumes, strong odors, light, joint pain, headaches, etc. that come along with the fibro monster. The nausea comes and goes and I always feel like I need to eat a little something to settle my stomach. Unfortunately, I'm just getting fatter all the time. Not good, I know.
