9. Nausea or Vomiting: RMS’s Digestive Discontent
Digestive issues might seem far removed from a muscular tumor, yet, RMS can manifest in ways that challenge our understanding. Nausea or vomiting, seemingly unrelated, can be the body’s response to RMS’s spread.
Imagine a tumor pressing against the stomach or even the intestines. Such pressure can interfere with the digestive process, leading to discomfort, nausea, or even vomiting. But the story doesn’t end with physical pressure.
The body, in its wisdom, responds to anomalies. As RMS grows, it might release chemicals into the bloodstream, which the digestive system reacts to. It’s like a protective mechanism gone awry, where the body’s attempt to restore balance results in nausea.
On a more intricate level, the interplay of nerves and muscles in digestion can be affected. RMS’s growth might disrupt this harmony, leading to symptoms that can be both perplexing and distressing. (9)
