And another hello to Kim -

I absolutely concur with the comments expressed that you have got to get this checked out by a doctor, and preferably a gastroenterologist. Although no one ever said that endoscopies were cheap. And at least according to the BC Cancer Agency, "nausea and vomiting is not a manifestation of narcotic allergy." http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/HPI/Cancer...CancerPain.htm

Marinol (Unimed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) also works very well for nausea, where it’s often prescribed to offset one of the principle side-effects of chemotherapy, and in my experience, is probably the best thing going for the CNS induced spasms of CRPS. Much more effective than my 50 mg./day of Baclofen. There’s just that little detail of its active ingredient (dronabinol) being a synthetic delta-9-THC, a naturally occurring component of Cannabis sativa L. So, unlike ginger, for instance, it would make getting through the day at work a challenge in altogether new ways, were you working, which I gather from your note you're not.

Mike
