Mrs Mungo Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 For the last couple of weeks I have felt bad. You know how you feel when you haven't eaten? You might feel low-level nausea, headachy, a touch of tummy trouble, a little bit dizzy? It is like that, but eating doesn't help. I thought maybe it was the ibuprofen/nighttime percocet that I have been taking for my foot. But, my son asked for a pepto last night and when I asked my eldest about it, she said that had been feeling the same way. I have googled, but cannot really find anything that might fit that description. Dh and middle dd seem fine; we have a carbon monoxide detector. Nobody has had a fever or anything like that. Ideas?

Tammyla Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Check your refrigerator temp; our thermostat went out and we all had very mild flu symptons for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwydd Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Are you eating enough fresh, raw fruits and vegetables? I would suggest increasing your intake of organically grown vegetables and fruits, especially in something like a smoothie, where you can really get a boost from several nutrient-rich food sources. Also, reduce dairy and meat for a few weeks and see if you have any improvement. Ingesting too much dairy and too much meat-derived proteins can actually induce mild acidosis and increase systemic inflammation, which can bring on many ailments, including general malaise.

This is how it started with me and percocet. And then, next thing you know, I couldn't walk down the hallway in a straight line or figure out how to work a doorknob. I only take strong levels of Ibuprofin now. I guess I am real cheap date. :D BUT I will also say this - I sometimes suffer from big dips in my blood sugar and I feel just like that too and when I notice that eating isn't helping, and I have NOT taken anything (not even iburprofin) I know that it is my irregular heartbeat kicking into gear - it's a leftover from when I had pericarditis. If it were me - I would stop the percocet and wait 12-24 hours and see if the feeling goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I would check the batteries on that. You never know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Mungo Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for the ideas, everyone. That's how I feel when I'm pregnant...:) Hm. I'm pretty sure ds is not pregnant, lol. Nope, nobody is pregnant, in fact, quite the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
