Feel remotely human today

Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't replied to all your individual posts but this is literally the first day that I have felt remotely human again. I actually got up this morning and had a bit of egg for brekky. All I've eaten for the past 3 days is fruit, crackers and toast with Vegemite. It's all I could stomach really. I'm definitely finding eating very small meals often seems to be helping with the nausea. I sit up for a while after eating then head back to my bed. My sister is coming down today to help with a very much needed sheet change - lol. I'm finding water is tasting metallic already. I'm not a real fizzy drink fan. I've tried ginger ale and lemonade but neither of those are doing it for me either. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe diet cordial? Linda. X

    Glad you are feeling a bit better. The lemon cordial might work for you. Other things to try are drinking through a straw, drinking really cold water, drinking flat lemon or lime flavored mineral water or flat ginger ale. I also found lemonade ice blocks or calypso ice blocks helped my throat to feel better and these added to the fluid intake. Maybe you can get your sister to grab a few things for you to try. You will probably still feel very low energy for a couple of days and then start to improve. Take care. Deanne xx
