A very rough day...but ALAS a solution

[formerfatchick 1]

So today started off being a VERY rough day !! The gas pain was horrible and a started having bouts of nausea. All of a sudden my mouth would fill up with thick foul tasting saliva an would get horrible burning nauseating feeling at the center of my chest. i called the doc and they had me come in for an esophogram just to make sure there was no blockage. 3 hours later no blockage just one of the lucky few with bad swelling of the stomach. ( YAY..right ! :biggrin:)

So i was told by the nurse to try children's liquid motrin every 3 hours for 3 days and he suggested the motion sickness wrist bands to help with the nausea

OMG !! It was like the heavens opened up and relief poured down !! I am feeling a trillion times better and actually wanting to drink Soup !!!!

Hope everyone is doing better !! =)) :biggrin:

Sorry about your bad day, it sounds horrible!! But I'm glad you are feeling better now! Good idea about the motion sickness wristbands.

I know there are many on this forum that are anti-NSAIDS like Motrin, but when they are taken just on occasion they really can work wonders with the swelling and inflammation! My doctor also recommended the liquid motrin and I found relief my first week post op.

Nice to hear you are feeling better!

I love how you wrote that "it was like the heavens opened up." So sorry you were struggling with the nausea. That was me the day after my surgery. They kept trying to get me to get up and walk, but every time I would take a step I would start dry-heaving. Bleh... I kept saying to myself "what the heck did I just do?"
