Agree with both of you - my doc prescribed the synthetic form - marinol, which inurance pays for - for my constant nausea associated with the autonomic PN - BUT they are pills - and you cannot regulate how much you get.... found even the smallest dose too strong because since I've had such a severe loss of balance already due to the sensory nerve loss - I ended up lying on my face... its too bad because I know it helps many...

Melody - your friend on chemo - there are lots of other nausea meds out there - especially for people on chemo - like zofran, anzimet, reglan - which help many - do you know if she has tried any of these? (I live on a combo of nausea meds to be able to drink ensure - without them I'd have to have a constant IV feeding tube into my intestines).... also, was she anorexic before the chemo? Cause eating and then having severe nausea due to it can certainly trigger it..... In any case - I hope they can help her.
