Nausea is a really common complaint among people with fibromyalgia — so you're definitely not alone in dealing with it! It can be linked to the way fibromyalgia affects the nervous system, which can disrupt digestion and cause ongoing nausea.

It's great that Zofran is giving some relief. Many people also find the following helpful in managing nausea alongside fibromyalgia:

- Ginger — tea, capsules, or even ginger chews can help settle the stomach
- Small, frequent meals — rather than large ones, to avoid overwhelming your digestive system
- Avoiding trigger foods — gluten, dairy, and soy are common culprits worth exploring
- Staying hydrated — sipping water throughout the day rather than drinking large amounts at once
- Peppermint — tea or aromatherapy can ease nausea for some people

It's worth mentioning your nausea to your doctor if it's constant, as they may want to review your current medications — some fibromyalgia treatments can actually contribute to nausea as a side effect.

A MyFibroTeam member once shared that cutting certain foods from their diet made a noticeable difference in their symptoms overall. It can take a couple of weeks of trial and error to figure out what works for you!
