Hey LymieAngel,
Have you tried using ginger for your nausea? It works amazingly well! And it's not like you can overdose with it! It rarely interacts with other meds - even pharmaceutical ones!! (www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/961.html)

Try sipping on ginger tea throughout the day, nibble on candied ginger or as I do, just take the capsules! They can be found in sooo many stores now!

My nausea was past the point of being able to be helped by pharmaceutical meds, and I thought I was going to have to live my life ready to puke! smhair Not a pleasant thought!! Once I was on the right dose of ginger, it all disappeared! Of course it may not work like that for everyone who tried it, but it's inexpensive, safe and easy to use, so why not try it?

Flagyl does NOT taste bad (if you coat it with a little butter or olive oil) smilewinkgrin

Ah, so you're from around here? Cool!

I actually like the taste of butter & olive oil, much better than the bitter metro, but I also like the idea of having it in a capsule.

i like the taste to of butter and olive oil...on bread or pastas....not pickled pig toenails....lol......*oops im not suppose to eat pasta so dont tell*...lol...and yeah my pharmacist said that he will cram the flagyl inside of a capsule for me at no charge...*actual words he used*.....so im going to take my med to him so maybe i wont be overwhelmed with my gag reflexes...lol...i wonder if he would put the rest of my meds in a capsule for me...hmmmm...i bet he wont like very much if i asked him too..lol

Trav,

yes, I will share the news after my appt next week. It's on Wednesday 12/14/11. I have a feeling he is going to leave me on the same meds because I am still herxing from them which means they are doing their job.

I get my brain MRI on Monday but won't get the results until 1/11/12. I'll share the results of that too. Can't wait for that appt to be over!

Well, know that we are excited right along with you!!! smilewinkgrin

EWWW!! You actually chewed on the root? Oh ick!! I take it powdered in capsules for a reason!! LOL!!

I know what you mean about being sick of food! Back when I was trying to go with abx, it didn't take me long to resent having to eat! Hang in there!!

I'm really glad to hear that your pharmacist has agreed to put the Flagyl into capsules for you!

hahah trav...yes i chewed on a root...LMBO......omygah some of the stuff we say on here is ludacris.....i have had a silly day today...i have laughed at everything.....but im going to enjoy because i might wake up crying or in a bad mood in the am....lol

Oh, well being silly has gotten me through a whole lot of stuff with these infections!!! If we can't laugh at ourselves, then life is going to be no fun and a lot harder in my opinion!!

My Mom sent me a card one time when I was really struggling that says "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for e shall never cease to be amused!" I just love that!!! smilewinkgrin
