I need to start exercising, due to my age and long-term inactivity. The problem is, I don't feel like doing so.Many tests, often involving the gall bladder, have turned up negative. My parents, especially my Dad, STILL think I need it taken out.What can any docotr, especially specialists,advise me about?Is there a medication, a food, or something else that could get me out of my funk? My GI doctor has tried those tests,even getting rid of a blockage around the Sphincter of Oddi. We all were hoping that'd do the job.It didn't WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? Would something like Danactive help? Herbs? My medications that have probably caused this include,but are not limited to,OxyContin,OxyCodone,and ZyvoxI've lived with my paerents for over three-and-a-half years.I turned 40 in late Feb.PLEASE,any advice would be helpful?

You sound like you are depressed. Maybe that is a cause for your nausea as well as. I have been on oxycodone and oxycontin since December for knee surgeries and I know that it does cause constipation and nausea, but you should be able to work out. I do eat that danactive stuff religiously. I also take a stool softener and laxative every night. (Not to get personal, but in case you are constipated as well.) I know you don't want to but try to get up the will to exercise. If will lift your spirits once you start doing. Take a walk in the fresh air and appreciate the nice weather...that might help. Maybe you should talk to someone if you are down. That might make you feel better. Have you asked the doctor for medication for your nausea? I have had anti-nausea patches that I wear before. I can't remember what they are called, but ask the doctor about that. You wear them for a few days. Good luck.

The thing is that you don't start with a full blown exercise routine... try a little at a time ...... like walking a block or two. After a couple of weeks, increase by another block.... and so on. Then start running, maybe a block, followed by your walk, gradually increasing the distance. It is important that you do the exercises consistantly so that you've developed a habit after a couple of months. Pick routines that you enjoy... exercise is not supposed to be boring. Get those past surgeries and dwell in the present and the future. Good luck to you.

Certain kinds of pain meds can cause nausea to occur. Try getting some fresh ginger from a natural food market if you can't find it at your local supermarket to make a tea with it to see if that helps your nausea.
As for drs, maybe try an endocrinologist to see if a metabolic disorder could be causing this problem if it's more than the medicines.
