Has anyone recently been getting really sick at stomach for no reason?
I mean, like you have a virus and then it goes away. I have talked to a few poeple here in Ga and there is a lot of Nausea that comes over a person and upset stomachs and then it just goes away. Remember yesterday Teresa Heinz Kerry went to a hospital after passing out, where ever she was. I will be feeling fine one minute and then just get really nauseated. Not enough to throw up but feel lik it. HAs this been noticed by anyone else and could it be weather related? Hurricanes, pressure, etc.? Sounds dumb but a lot of people getting queasy !

1. It's probably just stress.

6. I have
also accompanied by a low grade fever, fatigue and sometimes swelling of the lymph nodes, but it's been going on with me for years now. I've talked to doctors about it but they seem... uninterested.

On the other hand, if you ask any large group of people if they've been experiencing vaugue, nondescript symptoms recently you're sure to get more than a few who will answer in the affirmative.

like morning sickness. And to the poster, I have talked to quite a few who feel really really the same way. Now get this. This is one thing that is non partisian. My sister who is a fundie, feels the same. No one but my daughter ( in the household) has been feeling this way. She is diabetic and I have a hyper thyroid not hypo but have had it for years. This stuff started with both of us (my 13 year old and me about a month ago. She gets really sick. throwing up. Then she is fine. checks out OK. Spooks me a little since we really don't know whats in the air. By the way back last year we had birds and cows die. Cows just laid down and died across the street in a pasture.
Birds all over Ga in 2002 fell dead.

7. I bought some store-cooked shrimp the other day.
And, then I got sick. Not really bad. But, my system reacted.

My hay fever has been really acting up lately, too. It's been dormant for nearly 30 years!

And, regarding Teresa Heinz Kerry. I know she's got good doctors and everything. But, she felt "dizzy" and her back "hurt". And, frankly, I'm really concerned for her.

I read somewhere awhile ago that those are the signs of heart trouble. My SO's mother died of it! I remember hearing about the symptoms a few months later after her death. They matched perfectly to my SO's mother and her demise! And, these sound like just what plagued Teresa!


:scared:

12. I hope the doctors will figure out what my problem really is
I have been having digestive problems for a while now. Before I had my digestive problems though, I did have several short term digestive episodes. If they only last less than a few days, it could be a virus or bacteria. Sometimes, short term nausea happens. Many people take various over the counter medicines like Malox, Pepto bismol, and Tums for that. Some people are sensitive to foods, stress, various environmental factors like smells.

14. We all did
My whole family a couple weeks back all got sicker than sick, my youngest even having to stay overnight in the hospital because he was vomiting blood.

There's some nasy virus going around here in Michigan, from what my husband and his partners have seen (he's an internist) and from what my doctor's seen. At least, that's the current theory, but I've been hearing that some of the pediatricians are getting concerned. Normally, they don't see this stuff until later in the year, and this actually started before school started.

Have you been just nauseated or worse? I would definitely make sure your doctor knows about this. They can't figure out what's going on if they don't know who's sick.
