Morning nausea(not pregnant) fatigue,loss of appetite

I really need some help with this. For about 4 weeks I have been having severe nausea from the time I get up till around 1 or 2 in the afternoons. I have no energy, I have to make myself eat( feel more like eating late in the evening) I DO have a history of IBS ( diareah / constipation ) I have some discomfort in the upper abd.The worst part is the nausea and lack of energy. I feel sometimes if I don't lie down , I will just pass out. I have been off work for a month now ( worry about job doesn't help problem) I have had several tests done, am going back to dr. tomorrow for liver test. So far they have found nothing. I know I am not crazy, but after a while, with no name to put with this, it is making me crazy. I have seen others post on here with same symptoms, but the post was in archives of last year. I looked for answers ( Piper123 had same symptoms 8-6-06 ) didn't see any. Wish I could get in touch with anyone that has gone through this and is feeling better ( need to know there is light at the end of the tunnel) Please respond anyone.
thank you

Every morning Ive been waking up nauseous and with a headache its been a few months now. I have also been feeling extremely sick to my stomach after eating that I throw up every time. I'm not pregnant. Never had problems eating I love(d) food. :( and now even if I'm starving I can't seem to keep anything down.

Ok so I'm having the same issues . I have really bad morning sickness if I don't get enough sleep however I am not pregnant . It tends to only happen when I don't get enough sleep . Can't eat , lack of sleep . Most of the time my mouth is watery from the feeling if having to vomit . Working in emergency dispatch doesn't tend to help at all . I've had history of muskoskeketal disorder && multiple uti's . Nothing seems to help either , I have to stay up for a few hours in order for it to let up. This ***** .. Any help?

Thank you for your post.  I am hypothyroid, but i think with weightloss I am starting to be overmedicated with my thyroid medicine, which mimicks symmptoms of hypERthyroidism.  I am hoping that they can just adjust my meds and fix this.

Thank you and blessings :)

I have had the same symptoms all my life.  Smell sensativity, nausea (more in the morning).  I had/have severe pain in my gut off and on. No Dr.s could find anything, so it was assumed to be psycological (in my head).  I've tried to ignore the pain so that people would quit rolling their eyes at me.  Finally, in 1991 (when I was 25) during emergency surgery, the Dr.s found Crohn's disease with a fistula and removed 14 inches of my intestines.  I have been dealing as best I could with it since.  I have good days and bad days.  The nausea and pain comes and goes.  Still the Dr's and family think I over-exadurate (sp?)  Finally, last month, I had a new test done.  No one had mentioned this to me before.  It's called small bowel capsule endoscopy.  It seems that this camera goes where no test has gone before.  They are able to see into the small bowel that is not visible with endoscopy or colonoscopy.  This is where Crohn's is often found.  The camara cannot take samples or remove tissue but at least the Dr's have acknowledged the contuinued reason for pain, gas, nausea and vomiting.  The scope found 2 strictures (although the Dr was evasive during the phone call).  I am waiting to find out how bad and what are my current options.  I'm hoping that the strictures are just inflammed and won't require more surgery.  I have a very difficult time recovering from hospital stays and cleaning out for tests and surgery.  I'm not sure what I'll do, so far everything available seems depressing and stands the chance of making it even harder to eat.
I have learned a few things that help me.  1) don't try to eat if you're stomach doesn' want to  2) stop eating at the first sign of trouble (I call it "one bite over the line"  3) eat small amounts several times a day  4) drink plenty of water  5) exercise at least 20mins/day and take a nap if you need to.

When medical marijuana became available in NM a few years ago, I decided to try.  Boy, did this help!  It's no cure.  Neither are pain pills, anti-depressants and most nausea meds, none of which helps me as much as MMJ.  Just a warning, using MMJ can be abused (just like all the meds that are currently used to treat - symptoms).
