Hi Group,
With my visual issues I take Zofran for my nausea. My insurance doesn't want to cover it and I don't have it in me yet to fight them. I can fill a script of 30 at Costco for less than $18.00. This med is usually for chemo patients. My otologist gave it to me because of how severe my nausea can be and it works great. Hope this helps someone, Jace

I am also on zofran, it helps me some but if I move around to much I still get sick. I stay so dizzy though. I'm glad it's help you!

Hi Randomguy,
I added more ruffage to my diet to keep things moving and lots of water. For the first so many months my nausea was constant but mostly around a 3/10. As time went on it was no longer constant but several times throughout the day but worse like 6-7/10. Movement, sound made it worse so it was a trade off for me. With your IBS-C I don't know if food like that is an option for you. What are you doing now for nausea? Jace

All that I take currently when symptoms are are strong (4-6 days per week) is natural source Gravol with primary ingredient being ginger. It works relatively well actually. Didn't think it would have enough potency for me, but takes the edge off that's for sure. Works pretty quickly as well and doesn't come with that drowsy feeling you get from most anti N's. What has also helped me quite a bit over the last week or so is Betahistine. It helps quite a bit with the dizziness/vertigo. I have tested negative for BPPV on several occassions, but I'm sure that I have a vesitbular issue that the med helps, as I get very dizzy (daily) and the med, although geared towards meniers disease helps me quite a bit. Even lessens the brain fog, which is nice and no other side effects for me. |
