This is definitely me. I never feel hungry in the morning until I’m nauseous. Fortunately, my wife found these protein bars at Costco that are pretty good. I’ve been packing one of those with me to work and i eat it just as I’m starting to feel gross (or all the coffee starts tearing up my stomach). Small enough that I don’t feel more sick, but enough food to get me through the rest of the day.

The only way I know it's time to eat is when I start feeling sick, and then the only way I can get myself to eat is by forcing the munchies with a bunch of weed.

Aren't bodies fun?! 😬

Nausea signal means your blood sugar is low. At least... that's what it means for me. First time it happened, I was out all day playing paintball. Around 4 we stopped to go home and I was feeling nauseous as hell, went to a payphone to call my mom and have her come get me, throwing up mid-phone call. She thought I was just faking and told me to walk. But I felt so tired. I sat down and fell asleep for a little bit. Got up and started going home. Kept throwing up, and passing out. My best friend ran into me while skateboarding over to my house and I told him how I felt so he mashed off to my house to get my mom to take me seriously, but before they got back I guess someone called 911 and an ambulance showed up and checked me out. Had a blood sugar level of like 20 or something ridiculous on the meter and they gave me some juice and told me to get home and eat. Now any time I feel hunger pangs at all, I eat something.

That's me every morning!! Who needs breakfast anyway?

Ugh, add in chronic nausea from migraine and it's a joy. My nausea level, hunger level, and desire to eat are all disconnected. But they all have to align if I want to successfully eat. So much fun. All hail Zofran.

Do you drink coffee? And have you tried a day without?

I love coffee, but it fucks me up if I drink it before my first intake of food.

Though I keep doing it. And then some nicotine to seal the deal.

Good luck.

Wait, I'm not the only one and it may be linked to neurodivergence???? I thought my body was just a fucker fucking with me, I'm on anti-nausea medications so I can sleep without throwing up at night !

I'm telling you there's a magic weapon here, I call it, "a bag of trail mix in my pocket". If that can't do it, and an apple doesn't help, then I really have to eat something more substantial.

Aged about 11, my class were asked to write a paragraph about our experience with hunger. Mine was about how it was nice to anticipate a meal with family. I remember the first sentence "being hungry is great.." The teacher thought I had taken a very creative approach and read mine out, but I was just surprised at how different everyone else's were. It's only 30-odd years later I realise that i didn't actually know what hunger was.

Anyway this has reminded me I've only eaten a couple of slices of bread in the last 2 days and I should probably do something about that

You know I've not been diagnosed but I relate to practically every post in this community and now it makes me wonder. No insurance to see a professional about it though.

Need one for people with Vagus Nerve fun times. When i get hungry, I sneeze.

I have transcended these mortal sensations, I don't even feel either anymore

I believe there's two pieces of science here:

1. For at least some, this feeling is related to ADHD medicine. Many are appetite-suppressants (some people are even prescribed Vyvanse only for regulating appetite). So when our appetite is suppressed, nausea is the next thing.
2. Initial hunger often comes in waves. So for those with hyperfoucus we often push through the first wave, and the body gives up in trying to tell us we're hungry. So the thing that actually gets us to eat is again, nausea.

I live with my fingers on both buttons at all times.

Nausea = lack of electrolytes

Hunger can also often be lack of electrolytes
