Finding the cause of extreme and sudden nausea
Very occasionally; say every 3-4 months I would have half a day or so of feeling very nauseous. I just took this as ‘life’ and would rest until this passed. Then I found what was causing this?
Feeling nauseous and almost wanting to vomit at times
I would have times in my life when I would suddenly feel very, very nauseous. I would feel as if I was on the edge of being sick, needing to vomit. For me there was no explanation for this, I could not relate feeling like this to any food that I had eaten or to anything in fact that I had ingested.
It would happen very quickly, almost like it was being switched on; one minute I would be feeling fine while the next I would be feeling quite ill.
This would happen say every 3-4 months and I would normally feel like this for a half day say for 5-8 hours.
Doing anything other than rest made me feel worse
While like this if I tried to be active; make a cup of tea, read a book, talk to someone then I would feel even worse. As long as I just sat or lay down and did not move much, basically keeping to myself then the symptoms would be manageable. I can remember this happening to me in my early to mid 20’s; I cannot remember exactly and it kept returning until the present time except for when I was in Brazil. About 15 years in all.
When I am hit by this it stops me from engaging with life, I cannot keep appointments, meet people, go to work or cook for example while in this state. I can do something for about 5 minutes and then it would start to get really bad.
Making me feel ill keeps me disengaged from life
I worked on the symptoms as soon as I thought they might be result of interferences maybe a half hour after they first appeared and it took seconds to clear what was causing this and as usual the symptoms started to disappear immediately and within 5 minutes were gone completely. Again this is something that I had automatically taken as either part of life or me which turned out to not be true; it was something being done to me to keep me from engaging with people at particular times.
