Becky,
If you feel sick to your stomach all the time I would talk to your
doctor about it. I used to eat alot, and I mean alot, more than my 200
lb husband (and I weigh half that) When my pain got bad I felt sick all
the time and I couldn't eat. I started losing alot of weight and I'm
already under weight. They started giving me nausia meds. The first
kind they gave me didn't make me tired and made me hungry which are
good, but gave me panick attacks so I had to switch. The next kind
works great, I'm eating more now than I have in a long time. It makes
me a little tired but it is so worth it.
