Hello , sorry to read of your symptoms it’s differently not pleasance 🙁have you recently had a trip to see your doctor? Perhaps a general check over might be helpful to rule out anything and it’s down too fibro and hopefully you can get some advice , take care.

Good afternoon,

Sounds really awful, I agree with Yassytina, best get it checked out as it can be hard to work out what is causing what. For example your stomach issues could be down to IBS and cold and fatique could be a thyroid issue.

Hope you feel better soon

Could you try going gluten-free and checking your D.Karen

[Elaine200756]

Yes, I do. I've recently given up dairy and it's really helped. Hope you feel better soon xx 😘

yes the bloating, feeling sick was because had compaction, doc put me on Laxido. sometimes its IBS and take buscopan that helps

The cold may be low iron so best to be checked its one of the fibro related things.

I TOO AM HAVING A ROUGH TIME. Doc has OKd me trying BCD patches. Has anyone else tried them. I am getting desperate. Like a l ot of others I also have thyroid issues.It is bad as I am also carer for my Hubby with dementia, COPD and spinal senosis and can hardly wald. Life is certainly not easy. If only the doctors and family would understand, I look reasonably OK for 80 and because I have a label I think they don't care.!

I have felt like this constantly for almost 2 years (tbh i think I've been in a 2 year flare), except I can eat because i feel hungry, but usually feel nauseas before, during and after eating.. i guess my body just makes me eat because it's been so long I've felt so bad? I'm sorry you're going through this. I've had all the tests my doctor's will do, too, and nothing wrong apparently. Sometimes i think they just don't have the right tests 🙃 I hipe you're feeling better soon! But maybe best to go with the others' advice and get a check-up just incase? x

Try gluten free Their is more rubbish preservatives etc these days in our food

Hello! I suffer with these symptoms (diagnosed w/ Fibromyalgia and IBS-M). Some things that I have found helped me personally are (when in an IBS flare up) eating very plain foods, things that don't tend to make me gassy, like certain vegetables. I eat a lot of plain white rice so at least I have something in my stomach and it's naturally gluten-free. I have also cut out dairy and egg from my diet, as well as artificial sweeteners that (aspartame, sorbitol etc.). They seem to be in EVERYTHING these days so reading the ingredients for everything can be tiresome but it has helped me with the bloating and diarrhoea immensely. I find wearing comfortable clothing, nothing that is tight across my abdomen helps relieve pain a little too. And lastly drinking plenty of fluid, more than you think you need. I had a fecal impaction caused by dehydration last year, and I can only say it was incredibly unpleasant and not something I'd like to experience ever again 😵‍💫.

I haven't quite mastered the "cold" symptoms yet, as I suffer with my body pains in cold and with IBS if I'm too hot . So I'm trying to find a balance. If anyone has any suggestions on a happy medium, I'd love to hear about that!

Much love and I hope you find something that works for you soon 😊
