Went to see my pain specialist today and told her about the bad week I have had. Yesterday I got dizzy, shakey and nauseated all of the sudden from the patch. She said it would take about 2 weeks to get the pain altering effect working from the patch so if I could hang on it should be worth it. She wrote me a script for an anti-nausea med they give to cancer patients on chemo to help me with the side effects.

I put another patch on this afternoon and wham! I got the sick feeling coming on again so I took one of the nausea meds and it helped. THANK GOODNESS!

She also said that she talked to the rest of the pain team and it looks like I am going to get the ONS trial lead. not sure when, but I will try and find out a ball park timeline next week when I see her.

I have a Lido infusion scheduled for Jan. 12th so she's given me enough meds to get me through till then as she will be off over the holidays.
