It was debilitating. i felt like i needed to lay down ALL THE TIME.
It’s not bad nausea, I don’t feel like I’m going to throw up.
You know when you’re on a plane, and the plane is turning, then it rights itself? That gives me a funny stomach flop feeling and a slight feeling of disorientation. That’s what this feels like, for both the lightheadedness and nausea. Neither is overwhelming in itself. But the persistency is becoming very concerning.
WAIT
NA, you’ve been on a diet and isn’t it fairly low calorie? my guess would be that you’re possibly not eating enough and could be malnourished. errrrr, is your hair falling out?
yeah, i didn’t have nausea at all. even mild nausea is terrible to me. i thought that my symptoms were odd in that there was no nausea. my appetite wasn’t really affected, but i had zero energy to actually eat because i was so damn tired.
Nah to the hair falling out. I’ve been eating more hoping it was that…also drinking more water. Maybe it’s some kind of nutritional deficiency but it came on pretty suddenly and hasn’t gotten worse. Got a little better in New Orleans but I’m starting to think I was just too busy to think about the symptoms.
I am starting to feel a little paranoid in my own perceptions and recollections.
yeah, you likely need some blood tests to determine if you’re low on any specific nutrient. i think extreme diets can cause those symptoms though, but if eating more didn’t help, idk.

Are you pregnant?
My husband is snipped (tested several times for success) and I’m on the ring so if I am, that’s some super sperm.
It’s possible. Very unlikely.
I also didn’t feel like this with my first pregnancy until month 5 or so. Not that every pregnancy is the same…
Or you’re a low-down dirty cheater…
j/k

did you miss the “i’m on the ring” part?
people asked me if i was pregnant when i had similar issues as NA. i’m like, i’m old as dirt, so what do you think?
i still think this is somehow related to NA’s diet.

It might be worth consulting with a nutritionist to see if diet could be a factor in your symptoms. Just a thought.

Ring is 99+% effective if used correctly
I have no idea if she is using it correctly. that said, there is still a chance. But if her partner is “snipped,” then that change is minuscule.
But if she is cheating, the minuscule goes away and is back to “Still a chance.”
(side note, I am NOT implying NA is/was cheating–it was just a joke)

I think she needs to go to a doctor and get a blood test first.

and AVOID going to 31 flavors for ice cream
It would be difficult to use it incorrectly. It’s already hard to get on my wrist, it’s not falling off easily!
(That is a joke)

Consider adding electrolytes such as Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier…currently sold at costco in orange & strawberry (& one other I can’t remember (it’s green)) flavors
This is good advice, imo.
Above all, remember that I’m an actuary on the internet and am in no way qualified to give medical advice.

Since we’re all playing armchair Dr. House…
Could this be late-onset covid from the foster kid (or was it step-kid?) at Thanksgiving? Or a form of “long-covid” after an asymptomatic case? I know someone whose worst covid symptoms were lightheadedness & mild nausea (she hates feeling nauseated).
