Re: Changes to my Navelbine & now side affects...

Hi Chelee,

You poor thing! One thing after another. I never had Navelbine, but perhaps some of these tips can help a little:

Eat some ginger or drink ginger tea. It helps for the nausea. Soak some grated ginger root in hot water and sip.

Start the day with some tepid water. As much as you can tolerate. It helps with constipation.

Sip small amounts of drinks. Nothing carbonated though!

Try rooibos tea, honeybush tea, chicken stock,

Try mate (South American tea used by the Inca's to combat nausea, hunger and fatigue)

Try to take a spoonful of liquid every ten minutes. That way you stay hydrated.

Try reflexology. Check this chart and rub the area in the middle of your left hand. You can use a little ball and roll it over the area if you like. http://painfreelikeme.net/images/hand-small.gif

Call your doc if things don't improve within 12 hrs.

Hugs!

Jacqueline
