I am slowly getting better and so grateful daily that I take hardly any medications and my issues are trivial compared to most. Eating continues to be the big hurdle. Luckily, I can still lose a lot of weight before I need to start worrying about wasting away. I make myself eat even though it is very rare for anything to taste good.
Thanks Karen

I am sorry about the antinausea medications....u know what the kicker antinausea medication was for me that worked really good? I got switched to 8 mg Zofran sublingual...sounds interesting that something so simple could work so good? Regular Zofran didn't do much...but the sublingual was the hit with me. I feel if I take it at first sign of nausea and don't wait, it catches it and I feel okay. That is the only thing I have to be careful of, taking Zofran right away and not trying to toughen it out before it gets too bad to work.I hear you about the eating...I make myself eat even though I never feel hungry and it just makes me feel sick...but I know I have to eat so I force myself to...I hope it can get better soon for you and me both!!!

Take care!!! Laura
