Nausea & my drug of choice

February 13, 2006

It’s difficult to explain the nausea.  I had never felt so bad as during this period of time.  I could barely lift my head off the pillow most days without wanting to throw up.  I can remember going to Radiation one day & the Nurse says to me Lisa, come here.  I go into a patient room & she says, how do you feel?  I said TERRIBLE.  I could tell by what she was saying that I LOOKED BAD too.  She took my vitals & had me wait there til my appt time.  She came back in & said I want you to take this for nausea & by the time you come out of your radiation treatment you will feel better.  I was thinking … yeah, right.  I went in for my appt & after it was all said & done, she was correct.  I could tell a difference.  She had given me a ZOFRAN pill for nausea.  Kind of like the cadillac of nausea meds in my time.  I was given a prescription for these & was warned, they are expensive.  The thing I liked best is they work for 10 – 12 hours.  Great for a person who is not a pill popper!
