Dizzy, nausea, diarrhea, cold chills, shaking, all at the same time ?

[Joann091]

Since May I have been having severe dizzy or lightheaded feeling like I will pass out, but I don't. Combined with being extremely nauseas and very bad diarrhea. It comes out of nowhere. I could just be sitting at work and an episode will happen. It seems so hard to explain what is happening. First, I will feel a bit dizzy and nauseas, then I will have to run to the bathroom because the diarrhea hits me and I feel like while I'm going to the bathroom I will pass out, then the nausea and dizziness with cold chillls and then I am hot so I have to take the sweater off that I put on because I was cold. I am 30 years old and I have a mild case of lupus that has been under control with plaquinil over the past ten years. My Obgyn took me off of birth control pills in August because she thought that was what was causing this, but I still have the episodes and they are getting closer and closer together. I had an MRA and MRI in September that both came back normal. My neurologist has put me on neurontin three times a day, but that isn't helping either. I can not funtion my normal like and every time it goes away I hope it's for good, but then it comes back and I can not figure out why. I am not drinking any alcohol either.  Please give me some advice because I am tired of missing work and time with my family. Thank you.

I just had an episode. Was eating and then BAM horrendous stomach pains, sweats, then the diarrohea comes. I haven't had it for a year. Only thing I can see being the common link between my episodes is my period. I skipped last month and I wonder if that brought it on. My mother had the same thing and so did her mother. My mum refers to it as being "allergic to my period". My suggestion to you all is to record dates and where you are at with your cycle. Some people may have issues with food and digestion and others may be like me and the body preparing itself for the period seems to have a big effect which causes sweating, diarrhea, shakes, cold flushes. I only get through the 15 Mins because it stops and when it does it won't come back for a while. Only thing is making sure there's a toilet available! I will get some smelling oils they sound like a great idea as well as a cold face cloth.

I have the same problem. The first day of my period , I all I a sudden out if no where get really dizzy, nauseous. Diarrhea. Shaking, and the worst cramps someone can experience. I lay in my bathroom floor for an hour wishing I could die instead of being in so much pain... It's been like this for my last 2 periods an keeps getting worse.... I'm going to set up a doctors appr next week

Hello,
my name is Jinx and I just turned 20. I've had symptoms described from all of you folks. It's strange and soothing to know I'm not the only one. I hate it... absolutely hate it. I feel like my whole body is going to burst when the shaking starts and my palms and feet become sweaty. I don't know what to blaime it on... I know they're just panic attacks, anxiety perhaps, or maybe something else more serious, but I do not have the time and money to invest in finding out exactly what it is. I want to sleep all day, but sometimes I cant fall asleep when it happens. It feels so cold and hot at the same time.
This seems to happen to me every few weeks or months, and I've almost pin pointed a patern. Right about this time last year i felt the same way. I had acupuncture done and took magnesium and homeopathic medecine to help and it did...
What more can we do but to live with it.... I'm scared of beeing scared. I don't want to loose myself. The reason I'm writing this is because I felt one happen a few minutes ago, and I've had them for a few days again now. Again, I hat it, but I will accept it because that its all i can do.
I love you all, and good luck. your not alone, I'm not alone, and it makes me want to laugh and cry all at once

Hi "kate898" i am also a 15 yrs old as well. For some strange reason i have been having the same symptoms as you.I was told that i was lactose intolerant,but that was all BS i have been placed on special diets ,and nothing has changed. Accept for the fact that i lost a lil over 60 pounds within a 2 month period which is an unhealthy weight loss.I too am 5'1 and i weigh almost  100 pounds now. I noticed with my weight lost that my symptoms have gotten worse.I was even told i had "Lupus" which is related to the cold feet and hands. It's also related to the fevers/ nausea. But then again i have migraines according to my doctor,although to me that's BS aswell.They have even told me that :acid reflux/kurd ,dry mouth,the dizziness,and even the dry eyes are apart of Lupus, but i don't think so. But maybe you should get checked for the lupus aswell. But if you happen to find a cur please let me know, because i could use the info.

I've had the same issues for a long time except i dont really get diarrhea . I have noticed it does come after my period sometimes. Ive had so many tests done and like you, they came back normal. It's gotten to the point where im afraid to go do extraneous things by myself because im afraid of passing out. Don't listen to people when they say its just anxiety!! Everyone tries to tell women that and then they ignore the real problems. I cant tell you how many people told me that, although i do make matters worse after i have an episode.. Panic attacks afterward are normal. I hope you figure this out and i hope i do as well. Good luck
