Oh Bev., I was OK with our own pets [but not human sick] but can't clear up any other pet mess  and as for smells: when on Tamoxifen ALL smells were acute ……….

I have had the retching - similar to yourself, when I have awoken in the morning with the adrenalin rushing around, it's horrible.  Yes, better after I calm and compose myself.

Recently I have been getting nausea as well, no appetite and have had success with stemming it with herbal teas such as ginger tea or liquorice tea.

I have had horrible morning sickness symptoms.  Like you I am seriously fed up with it.  It is more isolating when your doctor says she has never heard of such a symptom of menopause.  It is obvious that many many women suffer like this.

Reassuring to know it's not just me.
Strange thing is, I never suffered from morning sickness in either of my pregnancies, just nausea.

I don't get any warning it's going to happen - it just happens suddenly, and lasts a few minutes and then I'm fine.

Mine is usually mornings x

Always mornings for me too, but only once or twice a month for the last couple.

I've just remembered that during my periods I used to loose my appetite for the first day and feel nauseas. Perimenopause magnifies all sorts of PMT symptoms doesn't it? Some that I never had before. The retching must be a combination of the increased anxiety and stomach issues. I read somewhere that hormones can change the balance of chemical reactions in the stomach, hence the nausea.

It's all down to wild fluctuations in hormones I think. Horrible surprises.

Firstly - 

Could your GP give you an anti-anxiety med., i.e. Valium - to take on an 'as necessary' basis?  I used Valium this way before Events that I was unable to avoid and din't get addicted because I knew it worked for me.

Hi ,

yes I has retching and nausea for 2 years every morning , it was horrendous , so I sympathise . I didn't connect it with the menopause at the time. I would have a cup of tea and throw up. taking half a Zantac helped and having a bit of carbohydrate before bedtime. Also sucking ginger lozenges for pregnant women helped , and trying not to panic about it .
I hope you feel better soon.
