Waking up in the middle of the night with the dry heaves

0 Recommendations

Okay...I know this is so disgusting, but I was wondering if anyone else with GP has experienced the same thing. There have been nights that I am woken up from sleeping by this overwhelming sense of nausea & then I run to the bathroom and I dry heave for several minutes (which, by the way, is really annoying). The first time it happened I thought I was maybe getting the flu--but it is happening more frequently that I get so nauseated (even without food in my stomach) that I dry heave until my eyes are bloodshot. Am I the only one?

Also...I go to the doc tomorrow. I've gained 2 pounds back because I've been adding 'BeneCalorie' to everything I eat--but I am worried about gaining those 2 pounds, certainly not because of my weight, but because I don't want my doctor to see my reliance on a fake calorie substance as a solution. I want to be able to enjoy 'real' food...and not have to rely on supplements like that. I don't want him to ignore my complaints because he thinks I'm 'improving'. I'm NOT--I'm doing absolutely everything I can think of to keep going!
