The last few weeks have been really wierd, my weight is down from where it usually runs so I've been trying to put some meat back on my bones, but a couple times a day I'll be eating then out of nowhere my appitite vanishes and I feel like with every bite its all going to come out. I never have actually vomitted as a result, but this is really putting a damper on gaining any weight.
Just as random, a couple weeks ago I was riding in a car full of people (of course it would happen when the car is full right?) I got carsick. The driver wasn't being agressive or anything and I have never before in my life been carsick, I was able to not vomit, but it lingered for a couple hours after, it was really strange.
I think it might be somehow a mental thing maybe, back in my last hospital visit my girlfriend (long gone) commented about how the hospital food looked/smelled and it got to where I couldn't eat it anymore, before I didn't have any problem with the food, gee thanks... Before that though I never had food in front of me I couldn't eat, anybody else ever have this happen or am I losing it?

I have been having the same problems this summer. My weight is way down and I just dont feel like eating anymore...almost ever. I feel like I just eat enough to survive so to speak. I dont snack as much and my meal portions are much smaller than they used to be.

I have also been suffering some anxiety problems and personally for me, I think that is why I am suffering this problem. Is there something in your life that is currently bothering you? I moved in with my fiancee, am looking for a new job and dont have many friends where i moved.

I get carsick often. Nauseous, chills, hot flashes, urge to lie vertically.

I had an incident similar to yours a few weeks ago. There was a heatwave going on here in PA and I was riding in a jeep with no air conditioning. Was sweating profusely and then began to get that ineffable feeling of being sick/nauseous. Tried to fight the urge to vomit but ended up sticking my head out the window while riding down the highway and regurgitating the peaches I had ate an hour or so earlier.

I find that when I'm having an attack like this, cold air on the face seems to help it a lot. That or lying down and not moving. I also have heartburn pretty much 24/7 if I don't take a PPI or H2 receptor antagonist (acid reducer). Sometimes it gets so bad that I vomit straight bile. Horrrrrible.

I was like this earlier this year. Eating had become a chore for me and I constantly felt nauseous. I started on some appetite enhancers (sorry, I can't remember the name) and they helped a lot. Maybe ask your dr about starting something like that?

A lot of times I have to make myself eat even though I don't want to, and the thought of eating makes me want to throw up. I try to fight it because I weight like nothing right now but I cant.
I try lite food like a cracker and sometimes that helps and makes me hungry but then after one bite I feel full and nauseous.
The carsick thing is annoying too.. I hope you will feel better soon.

have you done cultures recently? Sometimes that means something is brewing in your lungs.

For me for instance, I lose my appetite with any type of flar up from my b. cep or m. abscessus.

I have to take an appetite stimulant during that time or I drop weight so fast. Like literally 3-5 pounds a day. The appetite stimulant gets rid of my nausea feeling too after eating so I can actually enjoy food again. I also got a g-tube to help w/ my episodes when i dont or cant eat so at least I am still getting nutrition b/c I can go an entire day w/o eating and not really notice until I am so unbelievably weak.

Of course, abx can do it too, if you are any of those.
