Hello
I have been super nauseous for 4 days now. Is this common with MS? I am living on 7 up and crackers right now. But curious if it's just me and not MS? I use Meclazine when needed. Any tips, suggestions or advice would be appreciated. And sorry if i posted this twice. Nausea sucks

Hello, I'm sorry that you are feeling so miserable... Is your nausea related to feeling dizzy, unbalanced? Or severe headaches? Both of those are common with MS, and I have certainly been there. Have you started a new medication - would be my next question... But if it's been four days, it is definitely time to reach out to your doctor. Be safe.
I go through episodes where just the thought of food makes me queasy, but I'm okay when actually eating. I think you should call your doctor.
I dont really get nauseated much, if I do its because I didn't have enough in my stomach when I take my meds. My doctor told me to eat something with peanut butter or peanut butter to help coat my stomach if I don't feel like eating a full course meal. sometimes it helps. Depends on what and how much meds I'm taking at that time. I'm not sure if this would help but maybe sea sickness med, especially if you have a little vertigo. Other than that and talking with your dr about it Pepto could help. Best of luck with that, hope it stops and you will feel better.
If you have recently started a new medication, look it up on Drugs.com to see if that is one of the side effects. I suffered with that for a few months until i realized that baclofen was causing it. Also Aubagio and a couple of other DMTs can also cause nausea
Thank you all for your comments. Today is the first day I am not nauseous. I even ate today. 😀
Glad you're feeling better, hopefully it was just a bug. Seems to be a lot of that going around in my area.
I struggled with nausea, vomiting and “stomach issues” for years before being diagnosed with MS. I even had an EGD done to check to see if something was wrong. All normal! My neuro said it isn’t MS related, but I honestly don’t believe that. I don’t understand how MS can affect the lower GI system, but not the upper? Anyways, when I was pregnant and after I had my daughter, I haven’t had any nausea or vomiting since. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I hope it doesn’t come back! Nausea is the worst!
I have nausea quite often. And I’ve had it for quite some time. My neurologist (years ago) prescribed zofran and phenergan for me and also told me to use meclizine for dizziness . I always have these on hand for “just in case.” Maybe you should ask your doctor and maybe he’ll prescribe one of these for you.
I have a zofran script that I have on hand.
I am going to get zofran just in case. Thank you
I'm glad you're feeling better. Not pregnant, are you? 
Definitely not pregnant. 🤣
good to hear
My husband suffers from nausea. He has used ativan for years as an anti-nausea drug. It works very quickly for him. But he has recently discovered ginger gum and many mornings that is enough and he doesn’t need the drug. You can buy ginger gum over the counter at CVS or other drug stores.
so sorry ...do you have the flu ??? call the doctor and see if something is going around ...good luck and hoping you get better .....
I just came across your post about nausea from 2 years ago. I’m very interested how you are and what you have been able to learn. My doctors have told me it’s not related to ms. Had extensive testing done (literally tubes down throat, tubes up rear, ultrasounds, etc.) and all there checked out okay. They just tell me they don’t know what the cause is.
I can tell you what it is…awful, debilitating, painful, exhausting, isolating, scary, etc..
For me, extreme nausea usually lasts 3-5 days. Goal is to be able to sip room temp water and keep my meds down. Bucket next to bed. Fetal position. Can’t talk without gagging. Unable to take care of hygiene. Can’t sleep for more than 30min increments. My abdomen becomes rigid and trembles. Unable to eat, with the exception of an occasional part of a saltine. I moan or hum to keep it down. Everything stops, nothing gets done until it’s over. There’s more, but that’s probably enough.
So, if it’s not ms, what causes it? I’m down to 110lbs after this last time. I’ve kept track and there doesn’t appear to be any contributing factor. It may happen 4 times a year or four times a month. I just wake up and know that the nightmare is starting. Fortunately, I know it will end and I’ll survive. After the third day, I wonder sometimes.
Dealing with it because that’s all I can do. PRN medication’s available, but not much help with the exception of an occasional Phenergan suppository. I do also have ginger chews, which help towards the end of it. Cleaning up afterwards is never fun and after three days my normal fatigue has become overwhelming.
Diagnosed in 1995, had daughters and 89 and 92. This nausea is nothing like my pregnancy nausea which was so bad, I had to be hospitalized for dehydration. Over the years people have just gotten used to this extremely overwhelming nausea/vomiting/retching happening to me. They’ve stopped asking if I need to go to the doctor when it happens.
I would really like to know how you are and if you have gleaned any information about this conundrum. Hope today is a good day! 🫧
I have to add that when I was diagnosed in 1995 I was told pain was not a part of multiple sclerosis. So many of the studies that have been done over the years have now been proven wrong by newer studies. All I know I what I’m experiencing. 🤷🏽♀️
HelloI just saw this. I disagree with neurologists. We are living this. They also say headaches are not part of MS. I call bull on this too. I have a headache every day. Your nausea is much worse than mine. I am sorry for that. I eat Meclazine and it helps as soon as i put it in my mouth to disolve.
Although neurologists are great,they are NOT living it. We are.
I hope you are well today and I hope this stops for you.
I wish I had a better answer for you. Take care
Jenny
Thank you for your kind reply!
Fortunately, it doesn’t happen frequently. Unfortunately, never know when and more importantly why it happens.
I experienced my first migraine at 30 while pregnant. It was when I learned the difference between a bad headache and a migraine, big difference. Imitrex usually does the trick. It is amazing for me. It used to be days of misery in a dark quiet room. When it first came out it was a shot. Now it’s a pill and it just takes 2hrs to work.
Now if I could just find one that works for the extreme nausea flares. First one of specialists have to diagnose what it is and it’s very obvious I’m just getting passed around.
Thank you again and I hope today is a good day for you. Mine is going pretty well. 🤗🫧✌🏻🌎
