Nausea
Hi everyone, I’ve just had my first session of AC (last Wednesday) and the nausea has been pretty intense. Have had the four days of dexamethasone and maxalon but not a lot of relief as yet. Does the...
Hi @duxx1234, I've been wondering how you are getting on. Definitely ring through to the rooms and get a script for ondansetron (zofran) I found the wafers great. They worked really quickly. I also took maxalon regularly three times a day during that first week. Staying on top of the nausea before it hit. I did find the first cycle the worst for nausea. I found it settled considerably and was better after the first week.
I did lots of ginger ( God help me now if I even look at it!). Hot water, lemon, Manuka honey and fresh ginger every morning first up.
Ginger chews, fresh ginger in food, ginger tea. ( this is making me feel yuck just thinking about it- great, ginger now added to my list of phobias!)
And rest, don't over do things. I ate if I felt like it, walked if I felt like it, blobbed on the sofa if I felt like it. I woul basically write off the first week, try and do a little more week two and week three get out of the house, see friends, cook and freeze meals go for walks.
Take care Lovely. Bec xx
