I went to the doctor this morning for on-and-off nausea that I've had since January. No, I'm not pregnant. And, unsurprisingly, there are a million things that could cause said nausea - so they took bloodwork to test for the following (possibly more?):
- An ulcer
- Anemia
- Diabetes
- A thyroid problem
If that all comes up negative, the doctor said we'll have to re-strategize from there. (Could I just sign-up to be on House, instead? That sounds more fun. Well, not really, since they do all sorts of painful things to patients. Never mind.) Anyway, it also could be due to simple stress/anxiety. Great. If that's the answer, pretty much all I can do is hope that my upcoming vacations (did I mention I'm going to FLORIDA??) ease my problems there.
Anyway, if there are any votes or bets, place them now. Test results come back Friday or Monday. If it's diabetes or my thyroid, I'd be very surprised, BTW. But weirder things have happened on House...

If it's just nausea, could it be gallbladder? There's no way I'd want Dr. House unless nobody could find out and it could be life threatening. Then, I would say, heck yeah. Diagnose me.
I say heartburn... or h pylori or something. That's my guess. Although I get nauseated sometimes -- and it's just the way the cookie crumbles.
I'd love to be on house, not as a nurse -- because he's AWFUL to nurses. But I'd love to say some of the stuff he does to patients. :)
I vote for ulcer. When my ulcer was really bad, I had a lot of nausea (not that I ever threw up - it was just nausea). Let us know what you find out!
All the tests came back normal, so the doc said to keep taking probiotics and come back if it gets worse (or doesn't improve). Guess we'll see!
