Menopause - Perimenopause and Nausea

Nausea is the worst . Nothing worked for me when it occurred at the start of my period .

Recently started hrt & nausea did not occur. Let's see how it goes.

Was scared of hrt but had run out of options & could not go through this every month.

Apart from nausea , anxiety was quiet bad . Not fine but better .

Yes. Awful. Still getting it as I said previously

Always cranky lol😁

yes I feel the same way,I get so nausea my stomache hurts its awfu. Im 52 I have my Obygn appt tomorrow and see what she says I havent had a period for 2 months I keep telling myself its got to get better. 

YES everything but feeling cranky. It JUST started for me. Today felt unbearable. 

Yes hot flush, nausea. Ugh..

Strange. In fact that is one of the things that is bad for me at the

moment. I eat ginger biccies! Helps a lot.☺

Where do you get that ginger biccies . Im going to try it.

Lol! Sorry Theresa I mean ginger biscuits! They work for a while☺

hi ,yes I also get really hot and slight nausea and prickly feeling,I'm trying sage drops ,may help abit? As for ibs can definately help there,look up low fodmap diet ,sorted my problems out totally,also ask to see a dietitian and they should help you with that.Instead of onions use asoefetida by schwartz[just a sprinkle or/and dark green part of spring onions,also chives,instead of garlic use garlic infued olive oil.Hope this helps

Well FthB, that blows Jan and my theory out of the water😁

(Nausea in pregnancy =Nausea in menapause )!😕😕

GA Jokey..

Qstn- How long have you been expernc'n the nausea & is that your only symptom?

(sorry if you've alrdy shared tht nfo)

I am trying to find natural ways to manage w/the horrible debilitating nausea... I start my day off with warm lemon water, toast, oatmeal then Im sur to nclude raw ginger boiled in water by mid afternoon.. but sometimes no matter what.. it gets the best of me and sometimes will last throughout the evening with a 'low-grade' level of queasiness-

Dont mean to be longwinded with my input/response but I have been dealing with nausea and running bck/forth since Jan w/no one even hinting at possible 'Peri' & everytime I asked if NAUSEA was a symptom I was told NO... It's so sad that only 'hot flashes' seems to be addressed as a viable relation to menopause- ;(

Hi, sorry I took so long to get back to you, went to bed (don't know

why I bother)😕then have been busy today. I am getting the nausea

now, not every day but quite regularly. This is definitely a symptom

of menapause. Sorry to tell you but I have had many symptoms and

am still getting some. I have ginger biccies which helps but there

are lots of other ginger things to try like tea, ginger ale (that is not

alcoholic )etc.

It is difficult coping with all these things, but you will get through it

and you have all of us now to help you, anything you want to know

just ask and I am sure one of us ladies will know something or

have a remedy.

I am 56 and postmenapausal and I am still standing! Like I am always

saying on here be good to yourself have a little treat now and then

it will make you feel a bit better.

My best regards to you

Yes, so much for that theory! Lol! I was sure there had to be a connection!

Lol mine too 🙄

Hello. Please I hope you are still following on this forum. Please what is does IBS stand for. Also how has it been since you last contributed to the forum. I need help badly. I have done all sorts of tests they all came out well. Am unable to eat and thus loosing weight. I take fresh homemade lemon tea but its making me loose weight. Ginger tea helps me sometimes but oooo when the nausea hits me am completely thrown off balance

Irritable Bowel Symptom either with constipation or diarrhea. They diagnosis that if you don’t have anything serious they can identify like crohns,  colitis or cancer. 

Good Day Abijah!🌹..

I did not get a chance to follow all of the recent comments that you have made... Yes IBS is [unfortunately] the diagnosis the [ole skool Doc] givs when they are not familiar w/the bloating and digestive problems many suffer w/as a symptom in peri or menopause-

I have been managing AMAZING well! I choose to do things the NATURAL way and will offer any advice I possible-

I suffered w/nausea, ear tingling, lump in throat, heart palpitations, cold feet/hands, panic attacks, horrible low depressed feelings of gloom, digestive issues.. etc.,

Age 53 [still gettn a reg cycle]😔😔😔

...allow me to add tht I did have to cut the cord with my OLD gyn [I was her patient for 20 yrs] and find a more modern Dr familiar w/the many many symptoms of peri [please believe NAUSEA is a very real symptom]..

I did find in all my many test performed and ER visits that my [VIT D level was very LOW]

I advise ALL to get your level checked and if need be address it!👍🏼- Vit D is like a hormone in our body. . It's such a simple fix but, if it's LOW or Deficient can cause:

Depression, Muscle Aches, Anxiety, Mood Swings, Extreme Fatigue, Etc., Ugggggh! the list goes on!

Wishing you all better health!💕

Many many thanks for your prompt response. Em! It's been very very tough for me. Today I have been feeling very light headed. Checked my BP and its normal. I have decided not to use hormonal therapy but to go natural. Truly I am very grateful for your response quite encouraging

I love your comment that you have been managing AMAZING well. Please apart from working on the vitamin d deficiency what was your miracle diet.

Please what are the natural things you are using that is giving you an amazing time. Am too too desperate. The nausea is really getting into me. Thanks

Abijah, sorry for the delay in responding.. Once I found out that my many symptoms were due to 'peri'.. I sought to find relief through all that was natural-

A while ago on this forum I shared the changes/additions I made in my diet:

Blackberries for Brain Fog

Raw ginger & Ginger tea for Nausea

Chamomile tea for anxiety!!!!!

Baby Spinach w/Orange Juice Smoothie for A boost of ENERGY👍🏼

Slice of toast w/peanut butter

I drank lots of lemon water daily-

I cut out ALL soda or sugar drinks

I didn't have much energy to walk or exercise in the begining, but I started walking 2 miles [It was VERY good for my mental/anxiety😉] I would be crying and walking at the same time lol!..

My worst symptom was NAUSEA .. I had it EVERY day sometimes😔😔😔 so bad I had to just lay down and not move. It could last for hours or come and go.. It was absolutely HORRIBLE!

I suffered with cold feet hands, muscle soreness, lump in throat,etc., I still believe all of my symptoms were exacerbated by my Vit D being deficient.

The only thing I suffer with at this time are menustral cramps or headaches or bloating [My cycle has a mind of its own]

fyi: I take fish oil, Vit d3, ferrous sulfate on a daily basis.

Hope this helps💕💕💕

I also drink hot freshly squeezed  lemon tea with raw ginger in every day. I take Vitamin D (must be in liquid form) as well. 

I'm also on bio identical hormones eostrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Plus I take DHEA as my adrenal gland function was rock bottom and your adrenal gland manages all the other hormones so it's important to get that functioning properly. I now feel like my old self after 3 years of exhaustion.  My hormone tests came back as fine but my symptoms were obviously perimenopausal. I think doctors don't take into account the lack of information regarding what level your hormones were previous to becoming menopausal. Mine were obviously naturally higher than the 'normal' window. 

This is quite revealing. Many thanks. I will surely follow through with all the advise

Many thanks. I have started the lemon tea. Its great

Pls offer an advice.. I am also 53 (still with reg cycle) having all the symptoms you named- nausea, IBS and panic attacks being the worse. Thank you!

Hi can i ask what is ACV?

Apple cider vinegar

Please have you lost some weight cos I have. When I discussed with the Gastroenterologist she explained its because am not eating well as in the past and also warm lemon juice I take twice daily can attribute to it. She explained that lemon aids weight loss. Sometimes I feel great oh no sometimes it's horrible. Today I feel awful. I have taken ginger tea and also raw ginger am not feeling great. My gastroenterologisit is unperturbed as all results show am fine. Well as adviced I must look for a workable diet.

Awwwww so sorry to hear that today is not a good day for you... I truly feel for you💕

Don't panic too much over the weight lost ..the nausea makes it very difficult to eat-

When you do get the urge to eat, make the most of it -

Try oatmeal in the morning.. keep foods like: cold ginger ale, toast w/pnut butter.. fruit [blackberries, avocado, banana] nearby & eat small portions at a time-consuming

Sip warm tea [chammomile].. lemon water will curb your appetite, this is true [try drinking the cold lemon water when you are NOT nauseous]

A few peppermints dissolved in hot water helped to settle my stomach as well-known

Try not to stress.. if you can relax and watch your favorite movie to distract time it may help [I love watching Disneys FROZEN] 🤗

Tomorrow will be an AWESOME Day for you![hugggz]💕

*time consuming = time

well-known = well

[sorry auto correct does it's own thing when typing]😒

Good Day Maria,

I pray you are well 🤗

If you scroll up a little on this forum you can read the response I offered to Abijah [hope something there can work for you]

Stay Well?

Hi thanks for the reply, strangely i have just stopped apple cider vinegar  thinking this could be a cause of my nausea as started it 4 days ago for a different problem. But no the nausea continues x

Please cause me if you already said this.  But do you still have your gallbladder?

I also lost a bunch of weight.  All I could eat was noodles, bread and drink sports drinks.  

Thanks a lot!

All the best to you and all Ladies searching for answers!

 

Lol!

Many thanks.
