Having an undiagnosed chronic illness is the most frustrating thing in the world. I am always cancelling plans and disappointing myself and my friends.

And then doctors will ask “well do you have a diagnosis?” And if you don’t, then it’s “well have you considered that you’re making it up?”

Those things cost a lot of money and may require a lot of different appointments /tests..so it’s not always accessible as you think

they can do a blood test for that, if OP doesn’t have access to a doctor it’s really hard but it’s just a blood test

It’s a subconscious reaction to not wanting to actually go out with people. They haven’t found a diagnosis because it’s in your head. Doctors and AI are pretty good at diagnosing stuff. This isn’t HOUSE md. It’s real. If there are no other serious symptoms, It’s your mind telling your body to be nauseous. It’s just mental and not psychological. Also nausea is not a major symptom unless something else is going on. Nausea+ fever is a problem. Nausea by itself can be caused by your brain.

If Google, AI, and doctors don’t have an answer to why you’re nauseous, the next logical conclusion is that it’s in your head. I had this in highschool. I was just depressed so my mind made me nauseous to get out of shit I didn’t want to do. Once I changed my environment, nausea stopped. Also your downvote on my post shows that you are emotionally attached to the idea of being sick. Something I also used to do.

Someone who thought this through. Doctors are not idiots. If it was food related, they would’ve found it by now.

Nothing I said was incorrect. It’s my guess as to what’s wrong with her. If you downvote “nausea is not a chronic illness” you’re just downvoting an objective fact.

And I’m saying that you don’t know everything. Yes, nausea isn’t a chronic illness. I’m downvoting cause I don’t like your attitude. You’re literally judging everything based on YOUR experiences as if it’s the absolute truth and your experiences are not everyone else’s experiences.

Not judging. Mental health is a real struggle. Of course I don’t know everything. But doctors, Google, and AI do

See, you immediately make the assumption it’s all mental based on YOUR experience. Doctors can be wrong. Doctors can miss things. I’ve heard it time and time again from people who struggled for years to get a diagnosis for their *physical* chronic illness. Just because that was your experience, does not mean it is OPs. You could be right but you also could be wrong.

Highly disagree with you. I get bad nausea every month and that trash WIPES ME OUT. I can’t get off the floor cause it’s so bad. Don’t try to sweep nausea under the rug cause it’s literally awful

Yeah took me a whole year and like 30 doctors visits to get a medication I needed to literally breathe normally. I hate the pharmaceutical and medical industry i have low trust that they arent money hungry or thorough in the services they provide

My doctor told my mom to drink water after having a hemorrhagic migraine that didn’t go away for a week. She also had a concussion that they didn’t tell her about, some doctors don’t know or care to learn about there patients health conditions.
