Hi everyone,

I come to this forum several times each day to see how everyone is doing and to feel uplifted by all of your posts

Calling your doc as soon as the office opens is the smart thing to do. If this is the first time you've experienced such violent nausea and vomiting it may be due to factors other than or in combination with the medication. Hopefully, it will pass soon and you will be able to get enough water to stay down to avoid dehydration. During treatment I experienced moderate nausea, queasiness and, as you so delicately put it, strange bowel movements, but no vomiting. I found that bland foods helped, and discovered that a couple supplements I was taking contributed to the situation. Others posters who have experienced severe nausea may have better insight to offer. I recall at least one person who took antiemetics and others have used medications and marijuana to increase appetite where weight loss was a problem. Let us know how things go for you.

So sorryto hear what you're going through.  My sides varied a lot from week to week, some okay and some not so okay.  Let us know what your doc says.  If you're not even keeping down water, try drinking sports drinks so what does stay dow will replenish your electrolytes.  Hang tough!

The nurse called in a prescription for phenergan, which my husband just brought home for me. She said not to eat today if I could help it and just try to sip small amounts of water and gatorade. She didn't think it was necessarily related to tx, but also didn't want to speculate. If it's no better tomorrow, I'll go in. I've managed to keep down water for the last couple of hours, so maybe this has passed, Still feeling  pretty awful, so I'll take the phenergan and try to sleep (it's supposed to make you drowsy).  

cuteous...those are all good ideas...before starting tx, I had every test, colonoscopy, cat scans, the works. everything was okay. The yogurt might help...I'll try anything...any particular brand or flavor?

chevy. 49 is indeed VERY young. And 50 gets younger. Like you, I can't wait to be done with this...36 more shots. sorry to ask a dumb question, but who or what is OHC?

And dallas, thank you. Until about 20 minutes ago, things were dreary, and then the sun came out. I think you made it happen...

taking the phenergan and hoping for the best now.

I hope your doc can see you this morning and aid what's ailing you.  I had episodes of vomiting and loose Bm before tx, sometimes it was hard to decide which end to face the commode, since they happened at the same time many times, LOl.  Not too many during tx, only occassional episodes.  But since I get recurrent UTIs the lack of water made for some painful urination.

Some docs might not agreed with this, but I find that sipping spoonfuls of plain yogurt(good quality) with all the intestinal flora in it, helps my nausea tremendously, it always has.  This last week has been a tough one on the tummy, the PA said it was strange at week 36. They did find a hiatal hernia during an endoscopy years ago, maybe it is acting up.

It might be wise to rule out any intestinal disorders with a colonoscopy and endoscopy (audrey?), we can't blame everything on meds all the time, though is nice at times.

hepcbilly: Lots of sound opinions for you to sort through, you might want to check the "don't quit" post of 3/8. it also addressed mikey's related concerns.  Good luck on your new life.

I'm thinking about you and hoping for the best.  Hang in there, and let us know what the doctor has to say.  I hope you get some relief and rest soon.  caruu
