Fibro wise I'm okay (8/9? ) but I'm having night-shift symptoms: a tension headache that feels like it wants to grow up into a migraine, nausea and reflux (why do I get this only when I work nights??????).
So, overall, I'd say I'm a 6 heading for a 4, though without the Fibro, I can cope! I'm so used to headaches/migraines that I can do pretty much everything at this stage.
So, anyway, not too bad. Okay, I'm rambling, maybe the Fibro Frog IS setting up home in my brain. Gaddamnit.
Now where's that codeine got to...?

When you're up and about, try calling your local HFS store and see if they stock homeopathic remedies for nausea. They're great. I'd tell you which one I used to take, but I can't remember!

Thanks, I'll take that honorary membership!!! I think I'm earning it daily………but as it was the day wasn't so bad after all. I worked my way back up to a 6 and didn't have to retire to may chambers after all!!!
Now LauraSue, if I were to go to bed in something long and flowing and lacy (reading poetry, of course) my "Southern Gentleman Colonel Husband" (now retired) would think it was time to re-enact some scenes from Gone with the Wind (wink, wink) and declare himself "Rett" ready to save this damsel in distress…………..(picture fades to a dark screen…)
Signed,
Miss Scarlet

and not being able to move and having all the other junk that goes with fibro at the same time............... This is going on to long...............and I hate it .....and it makes me mad ...it's not fair that someone like you should have to suffer like this......
I hope you get a handle on the nausea.........somehow!!!

first of all, hope your head starts feeling better ASAP.
second, where did you get ginger caps? i'm going through this nausea thing now, twice in about 4 days, so i'm hoping it's not a new fibro thing and is only a side effect of the meds i'm going to insist i get taken off of!

Natures Herbs Ginger Root caps
I got mine at the health food store, or I order the giant size, 250 caps, off Vitacost.com. (3 caps = 1,500 mg of ginger root)...also has a little Vit. E and rosemary oil in it. They aren't expensive, but boy, taken on a continual basis, really kicks the nausea. I never notice it until I QUIT taking them a while. If I'm religious about taking them...............have been, for the most part, for almost a year now, I just DON'T get nausea, and it seems to help the dizziness as well.
The tea? Forget it.......it has to much of a bite for me, plus you don't get that much ginger in you.
Hope this helps..............There are other brands, just ask at the HFS. Maybe you can stay on the meds if you add the ginger...........but only you can decide.
