Thanks everyone SO much. It is nice to get sympathy and virtual hugs.
Yeah, nausea and urping are the worst. Unless you're my cat, who seems to relish eating grass just so she can urp later....
Nursekris and Hope, I have been getting the max of Zofran at 8mg and though I have gotten nauseated every time, I have never actually gotten sick. I don't know what was different. I have been a little under the weather with allergies but I think it was largely the speed of infusion. sometimes you can inadvertently slow your IV down by shifting your arm the wrong way. I guess I was in the "full on" position. I kept wanting to ask them to back it down but just felt too loopy...
I have always had hard to access veins. Being dehydrated from the whole "nothing after midnight" thing and being small don't help. I have felt lucky they haven't had any trouble getting my IV before now.
