Hello there,

You are not alone. I too experience nausea, pretty much daily, and hands down it is worse in the morning. I cannot even eat anything untill I've been up for at least an hour or two because everything makes me want to puke. My appetite has been changed by it a lot as well and even simple things like someone peeling an orange around me is enough to make me have to excuse myself untill that citrus smell dissapates. It is the WORST. I too have almost constant abdominal pain that seems to carry on the majority of the month, not just around period time. I have the headaches and lower back aches too. My lower backaches have been getting progressively worse to the point now where it is now a pain that shoots down both of my legs on a daily basis, to the point where I almost wonder if its something circulatory or something. Please know that you are not alone. My doctors always make me feel like I'm crazy when I describe symptoms like that, so they haven't really done much for me. They tell me to go see my normal PCP for low back pain and headaches. And because I've had 4 laps in the past 5 years and will NOT go on Lupron because of the mood swings (I used to have horrible depression and don't want to risk a relapse), my docs I feel have pretty much given up on me. They made me go to the ER on Wednesday because I've been having vaginal bleeding for the past 2 1/2 weeks and there was some blood in my stool. I was discharged being told that they could not find any evidence of blood in either, even though it's happening every single day. Please do not give up, and if you have any luck, please let me know what was done for you. I feel sick and in pain every single day as well...I only have 2 vacation days left at work and I was given 2 weeks at the beginning of the year. I am having my doctor put me on an Intermittent FMLA leave so my job is protected, however once I use up those 2 sick days, I don't get paid for any time taken off, so that will mess me up financially, but at least I will still have a job. Question for you -- Are you having any sleeping problems? I find I have no problem falling asleep but I wake up several times in the middle of the night every single night without fail. And when I get up for work in the morning, my body feels like it hasn't slept at all. Just wondering, since you're feeling the same things I do too. Hang in there and if you ever need to talk, please feel free to email me at honeyprincess21@yahoo.com
