You guys know I've been going through different phases from not being able to go to the bathroom to going too much. Well now I've been experiencing lots of nausea in the morning and feeling like I am going to pass out along with lots of fatigue !

Is this due to the meds? Do any of you experience the same issue? And if so, do you take any medication for the nausea?

It's the meds. I had the same symptoms so my Dr. prescribed me Zofran. It didn't really solve the problem. So I did research on all the meds I was taking at the time ( which were around 13-15) and it was a combination of all the side effects from the meds that had me sick. So with the help of my Rheumatologist, she slowly but surely weaned me off most of my meds. I'm currently down to prednisone, Plaquenil, vitamin D and baby aspirin. I'll be off the prednisone next month. I feel great and not so tired any more. I would suggest trying to talk to your rheumatologist and let him/ her know how the meds have you feeling and tell them you don't want to take all the medication. It's up to us at the end of the day.

have the dr look at your meds and correct the issue. I also find that the weather, whether it is to warm also effects how you are feeling. have them also do a sugar test on you, you might be having a low sugar drop, which i have had for many many years after diagnosed with lupus.. hugs love hope you feel better soon

I've also been experiencing the same thing, I woke up at 3:15am very sick, nausea, fatigue, chills and body pains. Maybe this is part of lupus I never had anything like this since being diagnosed with lupus. I can tell you I never want to deal with that again, I pray
