To be floored by nausea?

[Gentleness]

I am judging myself for being weak and convinced that every other person would be able to ignore it.

I'm in perimenopause and get nauseous around menstruation, and sometimes around ovulation. It varies - sometimes it's mild and ignorable, but sometimes it seems to me to be severe. Right now I am lying as still as I can because every movement causes a wave. I need to kind of concentrate through it, and keeping my eyes closed seems to help.

I can't tell obviously if my emotional reaction to the nausea is also exacerbated by hormones, but I have this script of failure running and think most people would just deal with this, get up and get on. I'm so frustrated with myself for feeling so floored.

I've taken an old anti nausea pill (cyclizine) now, reluctantly as last time they sent me to sleep. I can't afford to have days wiped out just because of hormones, but I can't seem to rise above it.

Are you able to just get on with things when you're nauseous and IABU?

Everyone’s different. Don’t be so hard on yourself

I had dreadful nausea in both of my pregnancies and, when it was at its worst, I really struggled to function. YANBU!
Sorry you are suffering, nausea is horrible.

Really interested in this...I'm feeling nauseous most days. I'm 45.

I tend to try and keep a lid on getting anxious about it because that makes me feel worse, mentally and physically.

I also find that as my day goes on, it passes, or I don't notice it when I'm busy.

It returns as the day goes on.

No help at all I'm afraid, but you're not alone. Don't be hard on yourself. X

Nausea is awful. I had hyperemesis with both pregnancies and bizarrely no longer mind actually being sick, it's a relief, but I get ovulation and period related nausea and I hate it!

I was wiped out yesterday with a migraine and nausea also caused by hormones. I felt exactly the same, but everytime I moved my head exploded and was ridiculously nauseous. We had a really lovely day planned, which ended up with me in bed unable to move. It was completely spoilt, and I'm feeling very guilty about it, but it cant be helped.

I get nausea due to AF and it's awful. I found that boiled eggs in the morning helps. Also salt and vinger crisps and ginger beer. I also have crystallized ginger that helps.

Ooh interesting (sorry OP not helpful), I'm perimenopausal too, and I've been wondering why I keep feeling nauseous. It can be in the morning but it's mostly at the same time every evening.

Is it hormonal then? It comes in cycles, I'll have a week of it being quite bad and then be ok for a couple of weeks before it comes around again. I find sipping something very cold helps, or weak ginger or mint tea.

Bizarre, I never realised it was a symptom.

Thanks everyone, I feel a bit reassured that I'm not being weak, but it's still so frustrating.

Yesterday it was a mistake to take the anti nausea tablet! During my wait for the shower, I fell asleep and couldn't be wakened. I woke briefly but fell asleep again till 7pm! Can't afford days like that... @AliDran, I feel for you, so frustrating.

Yes @WhoisitnowRalph, I'm convinced it's hormonal because it tracks to my cycle, as do constipation, irrational rage and floods of tears. Oh, how I love my hormones...
