I am 24 years old, and have some GI issues that cause me to have chronic nausea for no apparent reason. It also really gives me great anxiety when I feel very sick. I have been seeing a GI doctor for seven years now, and have only been diagnosed with GERD and chronic gastritis. All of my doctors, including my primary care doctor and gynecologist do not know what is wrong with me and what causes my nausea.
It is so extremely debilitating that I fear leaving the house for anything...work, school, the store, etc. I don't have any stress in my life right now...I have things to keep me busy, but nothing that overly stresses me out.
I have an extreme fear of vomiting...and do anything not to get sick! I do not even fear death like I do puking. I am on prescription nausea medicines that all the sudden do not seem to be working. I don't know what else there is for me to try, as far as remedies and tests. You name it, i've probably tried it.
I feel so alone going through this because there's part of me that worries something is really wrong that doctors are bypassing. I feel that no one I know understands how I feel and cannot relate with me. Being nauseous on a daily basis is no fun, and the worst feeling in the world.
It would be great if there were others out there that CAN relate with me so I can have some support, and also keep my mind off of persistently thinking about myself being nauseous. I hope someone can help!
