Hi lilrose

There can be many reasons for vomiting!. You need medical advice as its worsening specially how to take any lupus treatment you may be on. Hope your better soon as that's horrible. X

You need to call 111 or go a&e

Yes, A&E I would say. Is it your meds or a bug? There are so many possibilities. You need proper medical advice. Let us know how you get on.

"I've been vomiting more than normal"

Vomiting regularly without reason is never normal. Even vomiting regularly with reason is not acceptable when it gets to that stage. You need medical attention and soon.

If nothing else - you will become dehydrated and that is dangerous. But you also need to identify WHY you are vomiting so much and get it sorted out.

Yes I went to ER but only found bladder infection haven of been able to get into rheumatoid dr around her not until June 28. I know voimiting and other things are part of this immune disease I just don't know what to do anymore I'm again weak and feeling like vomiting does anyone else go through this ? Why do we get this way ? Has anyone had the wire string on. Econ? I have !? I have had so many symptoms just wish I could get prepared for all them

Hello. I suffer from dizziness and nausea when I'm in a flare. The nausea can put me off my food. I've been flaring for about 5 weeks now and the dizziness and nausea resurfaced. I have skipped a few meals and lost about 4lb as a result but I don't think I have ever been sick with my lupus. Have you read it's a symptom somewhere? I just can't remember hearing about that very often? If you haven't seen a Rheumatologist yet, have you had any bloods done? Be interesting to hear what others say re sickness. We are all so different with this disease.

Dizziness and pain where starts for me then wire something numbness muscles loss etc since last October. A friend of mine had some old books and had slot of info for me more than I anticipated to hear. But it helped with the driving me crazy part of not knowing to knowing what I'd like to know is if this means we're getting worse or it's just common?? My boyfriend for me some tink and has actually kinda helped me it probably would more if I remember to take it everyday

You must get urgent advice in this vomiting. Please do.

This site is very helpful and supportive. People want to help.

Also the Lupus UK website has a lot of very good information on lupus, it's symptoms and how to deal with it. Read as much as you can.

But like I said, Ive never heard of being sick as a symptom, you need urgent advice and care.

Let us know what help you get.

"only found bladder infection" - that in itself can make someone with a dodgy immune system very poorly. I assume they gave you antibiotics?

Even when nausea and vomiting is common in an illness, when it is too bad so you aren't keeping fluids down you need medical care or you could become really seriously ill. Nausea is one thing - actually throwing up is another. Just contacting your GP is enough - you won't necessarily need the rheumy.

The crazy thing is I'm diabetic so I have those often just never got nausea or vomited but I discovered when I eat it makes me want to throw up and nausea and I can't get an appt till June 28 ugh and ER won't treat Lupus how about you with this disease? I noticed where all very different I'd love

To hear how it's effected you and your symptoms, I try to read all about it so

I know what is coming

[PMRpro in reply to Lilrosie1]

Vomiting so much when you are diabetic is particularly worrying - you need to discuss this with your diabetes doctor because maybe there is a problem there.

Oh thank you all for your replies all of you have just saved me from myself in so many ways
