For the past several days I have been getting severe tension type headache that comes and goes. Also about 4:30 until bedtime I get nauseous eating makes no difference. Has anyone had anything like either of these? What helped or didn’t?
Hi, I also get nausea on a daily basis and it does often get worse when I am more tired, to the point where I cannot even consider eating at all. My headaches, unfortunately, are chronic migraines and not fibro related. However, 4:30 is a typical time for many people to sort of bottom out energy wise during their day and being tired, exhausted is a better term, can contribute to headaches and I know that it makes my nausea ten times worse.

Hi Jsmom,
I get headaches, but they are not migraines, however when I met my husband, he suffered terribly from them. I noticed that he added 'accent' aka MSG on everything he ate, I threw that away, and if he has had them since, they have been very mild.
He did find relief from the Excedrin Migraine OTC.
So sorry you suffer this! Hope you can get some answers and some relief very soon!
Hugs,
SK
I have a history of migraines prior to the fibro so I can’t say that they are related but I definitely understand the late-day nausea. It seems to hit me hardest after work but goes into high gear when I lay down to go to sleep so it often impedes my sleep. Of course when I bring it up with the doctors I always get the, “Are you pregnant?” question but no one has given me a good explanation for it. I have IBS and endometriosis as well but this is different and just started since my fibro symptoms began. I definitely understand where you are coming from but have not found anything that helps.
Thank you all. It makes sense that the more tired and stressed I am the more symptoms I would have. I get migraines too but these headaches are not as painful nor isolated to one side or one eye. I just registered to finish my degree online so that may be the trigger. I keep having doubts I can do school and kids but God and my support people keep telling me I can. Thank you again, I will check out the links you provided SK.
