I hope I'm posting in the right place, but please tell me if not.

dh works nights, Sunday through to Wednesday. For the last few months, he has started to be sick on a Sunday night. The first time, we thought it was a bug. The second time, a few weeks later, we thought, unlucky, but another bug. The third time, we got a bit suspicious. So I started to chart it, and it's obvious that it's pretty much always Sunday night. Now he says there's nothing at work that's really stressing him, so that's not it.

He also does very little between coming home from work on a Thursday morning and going to work again on a Sunday night. Basically either sitting on the sofa, or being in bed asleep. So maybe, when he finally has to stand up on a Sunday, it's all too much for him?

But today, some friends of his dropped by unexpectedly. As soon as they'd gone, he was violently sick. White, sweating. Was the excitement too much? The stress of it?

I don't know - I just wondered if anyone has any ideas, and if so, any ideas how we can treat it.

He's lost quite a lot of weight too.

hi pink

No idea what it could be but if he has lost weight too I would suggest a visit to the gp.

Get him properly checked out for your own peace of mind.

I wouldnt like to guess what it is. I think he needs to see a GP quite soon.
