I have had the following symptoms for a long time which no one has been able to properly diagnose:
I feel nauseous all day long, have tingling sensations in my feet and hands, sometimes worse after or before meals. I get "attacks" where the nausea is crazy horrible. I get really flushed, then the tingling in my feet and hands increase, then extremely nauseous, usually dry-heave, shake, I'm weak, feel like I can't move, everything seems blurry or cloudy. If I wait it out, it eventually passes. But, I end up having to sleep and am otherwise out of commission for hours.
I feel nauseous everyday, but these attacks happen every second day or so.
I have had the following tests/exams: immune system, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, insulin and sugar, thyroid, cancer, GERD, anxiety, allergies, viral and bacterial infections, anemia, hemoglobin, electrolytes...and much more.
In a previous post, it was intelligently suggested this might be epilepsy or seizures. Any new insights??

it sounds like it is in fact epilepsy.You need to have an MRI done.They are painless,I've had many.Try www.epilepsyfoundation.org for more helpful info.in doing so you will find people and doctors in your area who can help you,and they will understand your fears because they have them too.Good Luck and feel free to contact me anytime you need to talk or ask questions you may not want to post to the public.
I would also suggest making an appointment with a neurologist. Even is its not epilespy a neurologist will be better able to give you a proper diagnosis.

that sounds familar to what happened to me when I had a seizure- first I had an intense pain in my gut which led to shallow breathing-then I felt like I was going to lose "bladder control" and headed for the bathroom -passed out-got back up a second later and my guy took me to the bathroom where I started crying something about not wanting to have a cold and be sick-then I was extremely hot and passed out again for a few minutes-my guy said my legs were kicking.I never found out why it happened and figured it was a combo of pms,lack of food and too much yard work.hope you find out the cause-good luck..my doctor ordered a EEG and cat scan but I was a week late getting test done and they showed nothing

I've ran EEGs on 100's of epileptics...never had one complain of nausea attacks. Sometimes tingling of extremities, but even that would be unusual. Clearly you should have a doctor diagnosing you not Yahoo Answers, but if I had to throw out a guess, I'd lean toward cardiovascular issues, brain stem issues, stroke/TIA, or psychological problem.

It sounds like a mis-firing in the brain. Have a CAT scan.
