I'm actually worried about you, and your dry-heaving. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you so don't die
I appreciate it, but I don't think I'm dying quite yet. And it's definitely not cancer or anything like that. Honestly, despite all that, I feel fine most of the time. Which is part of what makes it so weird.
Random question, but do hot showers help? I noticed a while back that you mentioned weed on some comment or other. I once lived with this family who had a woman in her late 50's who was a chronic (and I mean CHRONIC) user. She was struggling with nausea that was only alieviated by hot showers (idk why she told me this we weren't close). Turns out there's a condition:

I'm afraid there's nothing for them to help with. Hyperemesis is extremely unlikely. I don't vomit, I dry heave. And usually only once a day, soon after I get up. And hyperemesis also involves nausea, which I don't have.
Damn. Well, I hope it's something as simple and easily fixed at least!
It's not. I made a post about it in the health community if you're curious, but I've bummed everyone out enough in this thread!
