I think you spelled "nauseous" correctly, but I am afraid that it originally meant "causing nausea," as in the sentence, "The consequence of my dog's diarrhea is a really nauseous mess." People who feel queasy are "nauseated." However, the use of "nauseous" to mean "nauseated" seems well on its way to universal acceptance. As for me, though, I feel a little queasy about using it that way. I keep waiting for all the bulls on this roller-coaster market to lose their lunches and give up, but they must be on dramamine or something stronger.
