[crossroadsec]

The nausea is getting worse. Gag. :P dr mentioned something that started w an F. Gave me Phenergan but i didnt use it yet. Im so drowsy n e way.  I hate to add another drug. I haven't thrown up, but lay down a lot this weekend. Any advice on nausea meds? Xo Karen

This is really starting to get harder. 7th shot not 8th as stated before (mistake). I don't have the nausea ( thank God) but can't get out of bed so tired and feeling sick a lot. The mornings are the hardest, it does get better at night. I can't eat anything but the 20 grams. of fat I have too. Gingerale helps me but getting out to get it seems like a day trip.Hoping this lightens up when stopping the incivek, I have no idea how you are working through this. I admire your determination. It is Wednesday the day before my shot. I swear there is a correlation to feeling bad and the day of the shot coming up.  

Feel better Karen and I fully understand not wanting to put another med in you system. (hugs)

Get some zofran from the doctor. It is for nausea for chemo and radiation patients. It really helps.

Anne - Ive kept ur advice in mind all day. I'm a snacked anyway. But I stocked up on quite a few loso snacks to get me thru the day. Today was a lil better. Thanks..gnite hep warriors. Karen

Karen, The nausea was initially terrible but got better over time.  I hate to sound like a broken record but I ate little bites of SOMETHING all day - just a bite here and there.  Even just a small spoon of ice cream, a sip of a milk shake, a handful of Cheerios really helped. And hot baths. I think it was important to make sure I ate whatever I felt like at the moment and didn't worry too much about the nutrition part.  I really fely pregnant again.

I didn't take meds since I really just didn't want to take anything else. The nausea did go away and I hope yours will as well.  It is particularly nasty.

Ondansetron/zofran worked best for me. no nausea and no sides.

Thanks all for the tips. I do drink ginger tea and found an awesome ginger root beer. I have ginger candy in my purse too. It worked the first few weeks n now I'm just hit hard. Found some Ritz crackers that are low sodium and have snacked all day. What a relief.
I had phenergan suppositories left from biopsy n tried them the last 2 nights n couldn't sleep. Felt like ants were biting me. Dr. is gonna call in the Zofran, I just missed her call this afternoon.
Happy bout the crackers. Loso, high fat is NOT easy. I think my wonderful inhibbie friends are the culprits. But I love em so much for not letting the virus find a hospitable cell to live in. 1/2 way thru Telaprevir! Sigh... Karen :)
