@Vicki I hope you feel better today!I've been really sick the past couple days. Both diarrhea and vomiting really bad. I'm hoping today will be a better day, and that vaporizing will at least help me get out of bed.
I have had no energy at all for the last 3 days. Plus I wake up with a funny stomach!
I ran out of GSC which help's me WAKE & WAKE. However I only had INDICA that I love before bed not during the day. Certainly not a day time strain.
My wife took me to a new dispensary and I reloaded on some GSC and got a sample of PINEAPPLE KUSH to try?
FLAVOR OMG!
EFFECT IKR!
I will try the new batch of GSC this morning a little latter however I feel better today all ready!
I really hope you have a good day today!

My only advice for anyone suffering from nausea is to see a GI doctor, primary care doctors will jusy give you a simple IBS or acid reflux diagnosis without even checking. Have an upper GI done, test for food allergies, do comprehensive blood work (CBC, liver panel, kindey panel, pancreas enzymes, H-Plori, etc...). If all clear then maybe it might be physiological. I know before meetings, presentations, etc..I would get nauseated to the point where I just have to dry heave. I'm a very anxious person. I remember in middle school I would get morning sickness due to anxiety but will eventually go away when I arrived to school.

It took 10 years to realize it was ATAXIA!
Most ataxians drink the kool-aid and continue to do worse!
I'm a fighter. (rebel) Who is the creator? Not man!
You may put your faith in man however I'm a bit jaded.
Yes I had all the test you mentioned!
The right strain of cannabis is better than drugs of any kind! (in my case)
Public speaking was a no brain-er in my past life.
I never experience anxiety however many do.
The audience was just over 2,000.
Another topic however I understand!
I was loosing my ability to speak?
With the right HYBRID I spoke and my thinking became clear!
That is why I say: CANNABIS is the HOLY GRAIL!
Haven't took drugs in over 3 years!
They mess me up more than help!

I echo this. I think most people who have posted here have already had that stuff tested, but I was sick for a while and someone told me to go to emergency, and my lipase was over 1200. I might not be alive today if I had not found out what was going on with me.

I'm a lot like you are. I started getting anxiety I remember in the 5th grade. I will start thinking about something. Before I know it I'm sick to my stomach I start to perspire. It affects my whole body. I get scatter brained.
When I was in middle school I did the same thing that you did. Every morning I had morning sickness. Sunday nights I would start to panic knowing I had school the next day.
I really hate living with anxiety. Even though you tell yourself not to worry you do anyway. I'll get so sick to my stomach I will get the dry heaves because there won't be anything left in my stomach.
Sometimes getting my mind on something else and some nice calming Gods Gift strain helps.

And the problems continue . . . for some reason this apremilast/Otezla I'm taking is turning out to be mutually exclusive with my Celebrex. I had been diluting it with food until the other night when all hell broke loose. Puked all night with a painful "spear through the chest" feeling. I knew it wasn't a heart attack and I wasn't puking blood so I rode it out till Friday morning and went to see my doc instead of going to the ER. They introduced me to the G.I. Cocktail aka "Love Juice". Its oral Lidocaine with some anti-nausea drugs mixed in. Also had a bag of fluids and some IV Zofran so I'm feeling better and getting back to solid food today.

What It’s Really Like To Be Chronically Ill
Society’s recent obsession with cancer stories and movies like The Fault in Our Stars made me realize that the average person doesn’t know what it’s really like to be sick. Chronically sick. What it’s like to wake up every morning and know you’re never going to get better. No amount of medicine, doctors, surgeries, and procedures can fix you.
I think the reason why people today love to hear about cancer stories is because they are just that. They are stories. They have a beginning, middle, and an end. While that end may not be a happy one, people are satisfied with closure. But my story doesn’t have an end. And people don’t seem to like stories without an ending.
Being sick isn’t as glamorous as they make it out to be in the movies. And unlike cancer perks, there are no “chronic illness perks.” Except maybe those really good lollipops at the doctor’s office. Those are definitely a perk.
The worst part about being chronically sick isn’t the physical pain, it’s the emotional pain that goes along with it. You reach a point where you can’t hold back the tears any longer and suddenly you’re breaking down in the middle of a doctor’s office. You think you can escape the emotional torture; your disease is purely physical, right?
The worst part is that there is no escape. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no happy ending. There is no way to make the incurable go away. We learn to tolerate the physical pain. You have to. But it’s the overwhelming emotional burden that makes you feel like someone is holding your head down in the water. You can fight it, but you can never overcome that crushing feeling. How are you supposed to get rid of an emotional suffocation when the source of it is never going to go away?
Being sick is being stuck in the eternal clutch of the unknown. Any day anything could go wrong, or at least more wrong than it already has. It’s so hard not to feel anxious or depressed or completely lost when all that lies ahead is a giant question mark. You rarely seem to get answers when you are sick. And when you do, they’re often the answers you wish you hadn’t heard any way.
There’s one thing every single sick person wishes for, but rarely gets. Hope. Hope that one day things will get better. Hope that there will finally be a day when your pain is a zero on that silly little scale. Hope that one day you’ll get a glimpse of normal.
I know technically being sick means my genes suck or my body just plain hates me, but somehow being sick has made me better. I may be biased, but I think that sick people — especially young sick people — are some of the best people you will ever meet. Now don’t get me wrong, healthy people are great too. But when you’re sick, you understand things that other people might take for granted.
You learn to love every good second, every good minute, of any of those few good days you might have. You don’t fear death because you’ve already stared it straight in the face quite a few times. You know it’s not important to dwell on the little things. You have more important things to worry about.
So as many times as I’ve wished to be normal for even just a day, I’ve appreciated my life, both the good and the bad, so much more as a chronically ill young person that I ever could have as a regular teenager.
Being sick makes you strong. Being sick makes you weak. Being sick gives you insight and knowledge about life as it eats away at your own. Being sick is the greatest blessing in disguise. It is so much more than just having an illness. It’s having your entire life be taken out of your control, and fighting to get it back. And that fight will never end.

My nausea is amazingly easy to activate, I am discovering that I can do it either of two ways:
If I perform any kind of manual labor in the direct sun, I overheat quickly and pop! goes the puke. I have been able to counteract this with salt pills, it almost happened yesterday because I forgot.
The other way is if I wake up and have a cup of tea or really any time that I have an empty stomach. It can be black or green tea, the key is it has to have tannins in it. It only takes a couple of minutes.
The good part is I can avoid both of these situations, by never drinking tea on an empty stomach, and by remembering to take the salt pills before I exert myself on a sunny day.

There is a total essence.
an entirety, to be considered.
The parts do not represent the whole, for the reason Vicki states.
My wife... and every soul I deal with knows me only since I became burdened with the monster.
My 84 year old Doctor of 20 years is the only person that knows the old Vito.... monster-free...
Things change.
monster is as much a part of me as my love, my joy and my tears.
When I study my totality, and accept my very essence, I accept the monster as I accept pain, and joy.
My monster, my Gestalt.

I suffer too!
I've been suffering from nausea for the past 7 years as well.. I don't know what to do.. I took two hits from my bowl as usual, did not vape and I've been having dizzy/ having motion sickness for the past two days. It comes and goes.. Sometimes all day, sometimes a few hours.. Its driving me insane. I've tried to stop smoking to see if it was from the earth but i still get it from time to time...yesterday was the worst, I threw up my lunch and I thought I was going to faint. Body got cold but I was sweating a lot. Sometimes I'll smoke alottt and feel nothing but bliss..Sometimes I'll take one puff off the vape or bowl and I'll feel like throwing up all day. Went to the ER they ran cat scans xrays blood work they dont see anything wrong it ruins my ability to work and sometimes I get agitated and I hate it. I've had to call in sic from time to time. I've read it could be from low serotonin? What can I do to help my situation?? I'm the only one out of my group that gets this way.. I'm relieved and yet devasted that others are suffering from the same pain.God bless everyone

God bless you too man. I'm experiencing daily chronic pain in my upper body and back, and I wonder how people live with it. These types of illnesses, they are very isolating! But we have to remember that millions of people experience them at varying degrees of intensity and we have to cope and stay strong.
I wish you all the best my friend. Keep your fluids up, get 30 mins exercise a day, go vegeterian or vegan, plenty of sunshine, meditate and vape well; live well!
Should I stop combusting? At social events its usually pipes bongs joints etc... I've tried not using using herb staying sober for over half a year because of my naseau thinking it would help but I still get motion sickness from time to time.. Even when i vape there's times where I feel motion sickness all day. Any suggestions,tips, specialist I should see? There's times where I won't feel it for months and there's times where I'll feel it everyday for months.. I know everyone is fighting their battles. I hope we can all make it together. Also if you see this OF. I hope you are well sir I haven't been on here in a year but still think about all the advice you've given me. God bless everyone. God bless America. Goodnight from the east coast.

It sounds very obscure! I don't know.. How unpredictable and debilitating that sounds.. Ugh..
This is going on a hunch, but you may be off balance in some aspect of your life. Are there any stressors that you deal with as a normal part of your life that just 'don't sit well' with you? Does anything come to mind? A toxic relationship, an unresolved issue, a painful job, something you are in denial of or supressing? Anything that you have learn to live with that you are unable to overcome due to lack of acceptance skills?
There may be a catalyst that is causing your life to intermittently spiral out of control and buckle under the pressure of something happening in your emotional or spiritual body, which is manifesting in the form of a physical sickness.
I may be wrong and I hate to sound presumptuous but I'm just thinking outside the box. And in regards to your question 'should I stop combusting?'.. Fuck yes, you should stop. Everyone should stop!
edit: It may also be a middle-ear infection or fluid in balance! That can cause those symptoms at random times with extreme severity! Thanks for the memory cue @t-dub . My mum has Vertigo and get's it randomly, and she'll be stuck in bed for 3-4 days at a time unable to eat!
Thanks guys for all the feedback. Truly appreciated. Work can be stressful sometimes but who's isn't? Also when this first started I was 22 and truly having a blast with my college life until this started happening. My friends would invite me out and I would just end up going home because I was too dizzy or nauseous. Im 28 now and it comes and goes... Ive been off work for the past 3 days trying to get back to normal. I never thought about the inner ear infection, I will have to talk to my doctor about it. Thanks for everything guys. I never knew we had members from across the pond posting on this as well. Im a noob... so cheers ! I hope we all make it guys.
