Mum has suffered from ongoing nausea for over a year. Varying degrees and often a symptom that she believes started with a certain event (like surgery to remove a tumour from her breast, even though the nausea was there before).
I have exhausted the alternative therapists with remedies and treatments to alleviate this & the GP’s are coming up with nothing but confusion too.
The past week mum has been prescribed a nausea medication that is given to chemotherapy patients (no relevance to that fact that she had cancer last year), to rule out whether or not she actually has nausea, if she is describing something else entirely or if this is a ‘perception’.
The meds, I feel, improved her ‘nausea’ feelings as she got out of bed for the first time in 2 weeks, however, she still has complained of nausea every single day. Has this helped or is this perception? We see the GP again on Thursday and look at whether there may be something else going on or if it (simply) is a fault in the brain. My gut tells me that this is a perception & not real but I would never forgive myself if we didn’t investigate every other theory to ensure that there is nothing physical going on.
