    Hi Lindsay,  I have been getting very similar symptoms to you.  It started one month last year I felt sick for a few days and like you I assumed I had a virus, wasn't that hungry etc.  The feeling passed and I continued as normal.  The following month it happened again then again then again... This feeling sick became more frequent and started lasting for longer.  I also get loose bowels and more wind than usual.  I can be ok for a few days, eating normal then bang it hits me out the blue.  It is as if something triggers it off.  I have kept food diarys, cut out foods, had numerous tests done by doctors and Gastro consultants all to which have been negative!  Was given tablets for IBS which didn't help.  I was given tablets which help the nausea but only to take when severe as it is not medication you can take long term.  I also have been asked if it is anxiety, if it is in my head.  It is so frustrating as you know your own body and you know when something is not right!  I actually began doubting myself so I went for therapy to treat anxiety and also tried hypnotherapy!  Just because none of the usual tests have showed up anything does not mean it is made up.

    I understand when you just want to lie in bed, I do this too.  It is easy for people to say get up and do stuff, take your mind off it but it is so hard when you feel so awful or weak from not eating much.  I try my best to do things each day but it can be very difficult.

    Did you ever get to the bottom of what is wrong with you?  I need help!  I hope you are better now.  Thanks

      Hi, 

      i did not exactly find and pin point any specific cause. My mom thinks it could possibly be related to hormones (monthly cycles) another thing that helps is just to make sure I am eating well (I used to overeat quite a lot and that did not help), getting enough sleep, and not having too much stress, etc so I've been feeling better 

      im sorry I can't help you that much but I hope you can find some answers or some things that can help you!

      Hi, thank you for your reply.  I am glad you have managed to maybe work out it is due to your monthly cycles and I hope you are getting better now.

      Thanks for getting back to me.  I am back at my doctors for help now.

      Yeah ironically I started feeling nauseous again yesterday... it's not terrible but it's not fun... haven't exactly figured it out since it doesn't really follow a monthly cycle but I'm just glad it's not as bad as it has been other times. Glad to hear you are getting help from a doctor. I hope you find some answers,

      Oh dear, I am glad it wasn't a bad flare up for you.

      My doctors did do bloods to check my hormone levels.  They could maybe do this with you to make sure you do not have a hormone imbalance causing it.  Just keep at your doctor if you feel bad again, although fingers crossed you don't!  Take care, and thank you.

      Thanks and maybe I could ask my doctors about testing my hormone levels... not sure if they would do that since they didn't suggest doing it when I came into the clinic but I might look into it. 

      Let me know if you ever solve the problem or find any explanation. Hope you feel better.
