Members overwhelmingly confirmed that extreme pain frequently triggers nausea and sometimes vomiting, with many describing it happening during severe flares, migraines, or when pain reaches levels 8-10. Several members shared natural remedies that have helped them, including peppermint or ginger tea, Canada Dry ginger ale with real ginger, candied ginger, chewable papaya tablets, and peppermint essential oil, while others turn to prescription medications like Zofran, Phenergan, or Omeprazole when natural options don't provide relief. A recurring theme was the complex relationship between pain and digestive issues, with members noting connections to nerve damage, gastroparesis, IBS, medication side effects, lack of sleep, and low magnesium levels as contributing factors.

I too have nausea, especially when the pain is level 10. It is so frustrating. The walk in clinic gave me a pill for the nausea. Sometimes I take antivert. I wish friends and family could understand the level of pain when I reach a 10. I was so lucky to be diagnosed over 20 plus years ago by my family physician. Most people had no idea what fibromyalgia even was at that time. I now have a nueroligist, rhuemitoligist, and pain management . I have a lot of anxiety, osteo arthritis, bulging discs in neck and lower back , carpol tunnel in both hands. I used to exercise 5 days a week. I miss the old me!
Try to find one friend that understands what you go through, and gives support on the bad days. Hugs!

Yes I am a lot. Did find out from blood tests if your magnesium is low you maybe nauseated more. Ginger tea really good. Or phenergan if nothing else works.

After I posted this question I found out the root of my problem. Some nerve coming from the herniated disc connects with stomach. Have been using ginger and it works perfectly. Thanks to all who answered. 💜💜💜

I hope you feel better! I have had nausea for years on a regular basis, sometimes from pain, sometimes migraine, sometimes food allergies, sometimes car sick, etc. I was actually surprised how well fresh ginger peeled and grated into hot water (then strained if you wish) works if you want something natural. I have also used the phergan but it makes me extremely drowsy. But I also found out there is a condition I have that sometimes goes along with the nerve problems like fibro called gastroparesis. It means my stomach empties too slow, so sometimes I vomit from that, but reglan can help it. Luckily for me the exercise Ive been doing helps that too. Hope something helps you. Its an embarassing problem for me. Like I vomitted in the car when my husband and I were dating before we got married, and on our honeymoon. We laugh about it now, but I was embarrassed at the time. Lol.

I too vomit when the pain is very bad, if I walk too much. Mine started with ruptured discs in lower back. The nerves that were crushed are connected to all the nerves in abdomen and affect tummy , bladder and bowls.
