Nausea! Yes folks, that's right, only it's not like normal nausea, it's just general uncomfortability if my tummy is empty or if my tummy is full. so, i pretty much can't win.
seems like the symptoms have been trading around a bit. last week full on fatigue. and then this one this week. i have to say i think the ton of bricks fatigue is more fun than this one. part of the problem may be that usually i try to fix an upset stomach by eating MORE and by eating things like ... uh, chocolate, and ice cream. unfortunately in this situation those seem to be the incorrect choices. so far what works is saltines (mmmmm tasty) and plain pasta with butter and salt (thanks for that suggestion goes to eva). yeah. my full fiber diet of apples and fruits and all the dairy products i should be having to keep the protein going really does not seem to be helping much on this one. my belly feels like it is sticking out a mile and i pretty much feel terrible then eat because i am actually hungry and then feel even worse. by the time the feeling worse wears off i'm hungry again. and i'm not puking. that i guess is a good thing except that usually if you feel bad and finally purge then you feel better, and so far i'm not getting the satisfaction. oh well.
last week i did find with the first onset of nausea that sleeping and then noshing on the toffee candy mom sent for valentine's day really helped, but unfortunately that candy is all gone now. i think tomorrow i'll pick up some ginger ale and see how that one goes. at this point i'll try anything to be able to eat and exercise like a somewhat regular person again.
