Nausea

Hi I'm a 25 year old female who has had nausea for 2 1/2 years and had my stomach tested, had a laproscopy, as well as been checked for gallstones, acid reflux and had an endoscopy.  All in which came up clean.  I have nausea at all times of the day food type does not affect how sick I get.  The sickness shows up approximately 10 minutes after I eat and will last anywhere from a half hour to two or three hours after eating.  I also get sick at other times as well I can not have eaten anything and be just as sick without eating, if I get too warm I get really nauseated and if I bring my core temperature down it seems to dissipate just that little bit.  I have tried everything to make the sickness go away and the only thing I find that helps to any degree is ginger candy.  This all started after my c-section with my youngest child and with the c-section I also got my tubes tied and am unsure if that has/had anything to do with it at this point I've been trying to get any and all opinions that I can.  I get really bad spells where I'm so sick I'm stuck on the couch for a few days to a week, with sickness, and migraines.  I get really bad headaches and migraines in the left side more than the right side.  These migraines and headaches have been there since about the same time that the sickness started getting worse.  If there are any opinions or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, me and the doctors are at a loss at this point.

Thank you,
Krystal

my dr had perscribed me domperidone and prevacid but after my endoscopy realized that it was probably hurting me more to keep taking prevacid as I don't have acid reflux, so far my next step is a clinic in Toronto that will keep me for testing for a week with hopefully an answer.  I know how you feel I'm lucky with 2-3 days as well.

Ive suffered badly with nausea for nearly a year.  Im lucky if I get 2 or 3 days a month when I dont feel sick.  Its affected my life badly and Ive lost a lot of weight because most days I cant eat much somedays I cant eat at all, even the smell of food or sight of food turns my stomach.  Ive had tests for gallbladder and ulcer all of which came back clear.  I get very hot when Im at my worse and find a cold wet flannel on the back of the neck cools me down.  Im currently waiting for an endoscopy and to see a gastroenterologist.  My dr is at a loss and just prescribes me lansoprazole and domperidone which sometimes work and sometimes dont!  I find avomine travel sickness tablets can often take the edge off a bad day and I also use sea bands - an acupressure remedy you put on your wrists.

I also forgot to add that I get chills as well, my hands will be cold (not clammy) I get chilld but no fever, this happens every day to every second day at most, the chills just started about a month ago.  I just got a test done on friday to check the functionality of my gallbladder.  I've heard that sometimes it could be something in the brain that causes nausea but that it normally also has the symptom of vomiting in which I haven't done.  I get to the part where I feel like I could vomit at any second atleast a few times a day but haven't vomited at all to date.
