Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I think the dry-heaving is worse than bringing something up. Sometimes I used to sleep on the bathroom floor, because it just wasn't worth it to drag myself from the bed to the bathroom several times a night (or day). cyn At 06:14 PM 8/9/2004 -0700, Tarvin wrote: >I lucked out in that regard.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Ugh! After I heaved up the lining to my stomach I started bringing up stuff from my intestines. THAT was really nasty. And Gross. My esophagus was bleeding as well, which scared me. They tried me on all kinds of anti-nauseants, and Bendectine and Donnatol (a barbiturate) were the only things that allowed me to eat a meal. At least once a month I'd end up in the hospital and they'd give me fluids by IV, and keep me a couple of days until I could eat without barfing. I'd feel okay for a while, but couldn't walk far. My ears used to pop all the time, and I'd have to make yawning motions to unpop them. I hated that. Going to the grocery store was a major pain, I'd walk all hunched over from the nausea and hang onto the shopping cart for all I was worth. Then after getting home I'd collapse in bed for several hours, until I was strong enough to put all the groceries away. cyn At 06:35 PM 8/9/2004 -0700, Tarvin wrote: >I have done that several times myself. > >But I did find something worse than dry-heaving.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 PS....Have you tried Emmetrol? It's an OTC anti-nausea medicine that you can buy at the pharmacy. It doesn't taste all that great, but it works pretty well. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 It never worked for me, and Phenergan actually makes my nausea worse. Plus, it gives me restless let syndrome. cyn At 02:20 AM 8/10/2004 +0000, Jen wrote: >PS....Have you tried Emmetrol? It's an OTC anti-nausea medicine >that you can buy at the pharmacy.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 <hahaha! Yes, he is a keeper if you can barf on his feet and he's okay!> Since I saw the thread with nausea, barfing and nautral remedies, I thought I'd share what I go in my mail today. I know this mentions ginger and that was previously talked about, but it has some other interesting facts about ginger also. hugs, Sundra <Ginger — An Herb That's Good for Many Ailments By Dr. Cherry The same spice we loved in gingerbread as children (and even as adults!) has proven to be good therapy for many ailments. In capsule form, ginger has been used for circulatory problems, dizziness, nausea, indigestion and ringing in the ears. It actually stimulates and improves digestive function. Ginger also combats motion sickness very effectively. In fact, ancient Chinese sailors chewed gingerroot to prevent seasickness; and in one study, Swedish Navy researchers tested it on 80 naval cadets in heavy seas. Compared with the sailors who took a placebo (an inactive substance), the group taking ginger experienced 72 percent less seasickness.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
