Vomitting?????

[luckydzack1]

Hi all,
I am just wondering if vomitting has anything to do with FM? In the past 2 weeks I have gotten out of bed & felt notious and ended up talking to ralph. It isn't food coming up it is just that yellow awful tasting stuff.
I went for injections about 3 weeks ago & he rubbed my back after the injections & I ended up with a migraine headache for 4 straight mornings. Do you think he did something to my back. I am lost with all this **** happening to my body. After I vomit that stuff up I feel fine after not sick to my stomach anymore so I know it isn't the flu.
Does someone out there experience this too??
Thanking you in advance for any answers

Hello...........my zoggy brain is at it again.  Sorry I made you wake, I'll hop on it after I finish here.

As far as I understand, I don't believe there's a definate, one singal test that proves that you have CFIDS. (Pleasecorrect me, if anyone knows for sure there's this one covers all kind of test out there)  Simply, ME/CFS is such a multi system complicated disease.

Perhaps, if one can get tests  such as:t neuro impairment, viral load (meaninig all the suspected virus that 'might' be involved with triggering ME/CFS), orthostatic intolerence, ...the list goes on and on.    EBV, I believe is the cause for mono, but not that one single virus that causes ME/CFS.

I promise, I will send you some information on what you may want your doctor to look out for.

It sounds like Canadian is similar to ours in US......when I applied, it was to prove that I won't recover for 12 months, and I'm eligible to apply in 6 months.  Then, after approval, there's about 6 months wait until I got my 1st check.

I best sign off now, before I overwhelm everyone.  I know how exhausting it is to read when you are in a bad flare.

Huggies,
Kit

Val, if the shots don't help significantly - stop them!  It's as meaningful to SSDI if not more so that a treatment didn't work.  I'd also question why your doctor is pushing so hard on them - has he had surprise success much later down the road?  Doubt it - I tried one time, and the medicine (lidocane) was so miserable, nothing improved, and it takes time & energy to drive to treatments that would be better spent looking for something that really works for the person.  Just my non-medical opinion.  I've learned over the years that if a treatment doesn't such some mild improvement in the first couple times, it's unlikely to be the right treatment for me.

Give it some time without and see if the vomit clears.  Also ask a doctor (maybe a different one) just to make sure it's not an infection that needs anti-biotics (even a walk-in clinic.).

There's a book, don't remember the name, but it's about triggerpoints & goes with a tool invented that has bulbs on the end to press on the points yourself.  I personally couldn't use it well, but I know two people who swear by it.  A little googling or asking an FM  support group, and they'll know which one.

Two places to start looking at treatments - adjusting vitamins and minerals particularly mag & calcuim for muscle problems. Also, food sensitivities.  I've posted about this stuff before, so I won't repeat here.

I was told by the specialist that the injections would help relieve the pain. The first time it relieved the pain for about 2 days. That is the only one that actually helped with the pain. I am getting injections of marcaine .50. Apparently it is to numb the nerve endings to help them heal faster. As far as I am concerned he is just making money off of me. Thank god I have med coverage. I have been reading some horror stories about having this with no med coverage. I would be out on the street if that were my case. I am lucky I have coverage from my work & have applied for CPP disability (Canada Pension Plan). They say it is hard to get but to just keep appealing, I just sent my app in & they said it takes about 6 months before they make a decision.
You never told me about the CFS diagnoses. If there is a test for it or not?
Enjoy talking to everyone, we all know what each other is going through!!!!
Talk soon,
Val

You never did say that the injection is about? is it some kind of steroid for your pains?
If your're not comfortable with your doc's reason for giving your shots, I'd look for another opinion in a heart beat.  Will leave you a private note...when I do a bit of research online about injection for pain.

Oh, just thought about something, you may want to consider to list all your symptoms and when you feel worse after a meal/activity, etc, etc.  I do this all the time, just so I remember that every problem is covered in my conversation with  my doctors.  

Please take it easy.........stress just to figure out the 'whys' can make us all fell worse than we already are.

Hang in there, my firend..

Hi Kit,
Thanks for your input. I went on Platelet Gals website & found the symptoms for CFS & I have all but maybe 2. How would I get diagnosed with this? Rheumatologist or my family doctor? I have been getting the injections for 6 months now & as far as I am concerned they aren't doing anything for me. I told the doc this but he said I have to keep getting them to show my disability company that I am trying to get better. They are so painful I get anywhere from 10-40 shots in a matter of one minute in my shoulder area & my lower back. I get absolutely no relief from them what so ever.
I was put off of work in Feb. as I just couldn't cope anymore. I was only averaging about 3 or 4 hours sleep anight. Plus my whole body was severly aching.
I am taking 40mg on pantoloc for the acid reflux that is why I can't figure out why I feel this way, could it be getting worse maybe?
I guess I will ask my doc when I see him.
Thanks again for your input, muchly appreciated.

Acid reflux can make you feel very nauseas at times, so are many pain drugs.  Do you think the injection could make you vomit too?
I know Addison Disease, Hypothyroid can make me feel nauseas especially when I'm about to have Addison Crisis, ME/CFS is another condition that causes nausea for me.
I don't take any medication for it, as I'm a WALKING PHARMACY as it is, sholve another pill down my throat is really not fun.

Please take care.

I have to go to my doc & specialist on June 11 I will ask them then & let you know.
By the way my name is Val.
I am taking pantoloc 40mg for my acid reflux & that is suppose to keep the acid down, it is a funny sickness as I don't really feel sick to my stomach & just get the urge from my throat that I have to throw up. Doesn't that sound weird?

I do not know if vomiting has anything to do with it- BUT I do the same and have the same problem.
I have FM and for 3-4 montsh prior to diagnoses I threw up daily or had the worst nausea!!! They put me on Zofran to control it and I am doing much better.

Best of luck to you, I know how bad being nauseated feels, and vomiting, it sucks to put it midly.

Hope you feel better soon.

Jennifer
PS: Please let me know if u find out anything about the vomiting being related! Thanks
