Nausea

[Content1]

Is nausea in the morning a symptom of pmrgca? It has become almost unbearable. Thanks

Hello, here are a few questions to kick off - Any other symptoms at all? Is the rest of your gut ok? Are you still taking Methotrexate? Have you had any bloods done recently? Do you take any stomach meds? What dose of Pred are you on?

[Content1 in reply to SnazzyD]

Oh, that's a lot! No to meth, 1 mcg pred, bowels irregular, bloods about month ago. No stomach meds now, since reduced dose . Seems to ease once I've eaten. Take levothyroxine hour before anything else.

Sorry more questions.

Why have you stopped stomach meds?

Has nausea started since you stopped them?

Are irregular bowels something new?

[Content1 in reply to DorsetLady]

Dr said to stop as I am now on such a low dose, only 1 mcg daily. Nausea only got really bad in last few weeks, stopped meds months ago. Bowel issues prob about a month. Also have fibromyalgia.

Mmm,

Could it side effect Fibro medicines do you think previously calmed down by stomach meds.

You do need to get it checked, both can be indications of other issues.

[Content1 in reply to DorsetLady]

Not on any fibromyalgia meds, just take paracetamol when pain gets bad and rest when fatigue gets me.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Content1]

In that case does need checking out.

Ditto DL

And a ditto from me as well!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Content1]

What stomach med? Omeprazole or another PPI?

Did you stop it slowly or just from one day to another?

[Content1 in reply to PMRpro]

Lanzoprazol I think. I stopped it gradually. What other things could it be?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Content1]

Was wondering if it could be silent reflux. But you can't blame everything on PMR or pred - and it is new so needs looking at.

I had nausea from pred - had large bowl of porridge before took them

Maybe you’re pregnant!

Think of the money you could raise for PMRGCAuk ...
