Does anyone else with GPA suffer from extreme nausea (including vomiting) during the morning hours with their GPA? I'm having a very rough time lately dealing with gastro issues that I'm sure would also result in a loss of appetite/weight loss if I had not upped my Pred to 15MG (per advice of Rheumy). Once the Pred takes hold I can get through the day, but I'm wiped by 9PM, and then it is back up at 6AM to puke my guts out. FWIW: no blood in vomit, mostly clear/white in color.


This has been going on now for about 9-10 days. I had good labs just two weeks ago and was feeling great. Can't believe the bottom fell out on me so fast.


The nausea/vomiting was part of my initial symptoms when I was diagnosed, which also included night sweats, roaming joint pain, blood in urine, and ultimately coughing up blood. None of these other symptoms have returned (for now).


I've had other bouts of the morning nausea (none this severe). I mentioned the symptoms to my local Dr. as well as a specialist, but they have never seen a connection between GPA and such nausea. Specialist recommeneded working with a Gastro Dr. to get an upper endoscopy.


My next RTX is on the schedule for 17 December. Can't come fast enough.


Any input/advice greatly appreciated.
