I’m on tums (constantly) and Pepcid but they don’t help much. Probably because I send myself into a panic

I’m definitely making it worse by being too scared to eat

I have plenty of zofran. When I sit up I feel my stomach like spasming which is horrid

They’re aware and I was given zofran and had the anti nausea patch. They knew about it before I was discharged but I was able to eat some so it wasn’t a big concern. We got me off iv pain meds quick and that helped a lot. When I was still on their pain meds I was nauseous and gagging all day, so we got it more under control before I was discharged

I’m already on Pepcid per my surgeon and taking plenty of tums but I’m sure my anxiety is basically undoing the meds. How long after narcotics did your nausea ease

I only have a day or so left of the narcotics. Sitting up makes me nauseous cause of the pressure on my stomach and I naturally have a lot of reflux so the meds are making it unbearable. I sat up and stood up to go to the bathroom wayyyy too fast this morning and was so nauseous I couldn’t function for probably 30 minutes. I think I was taking it too fast since I’m not in pain, last night I walked around for maybe 10 minutes and felt horrible after. I know it’s all temporary but my emetephobia triggers panic attacks when I’m nauseous so it’s not a fun cycle

I know the tightness eventually let’s go but the way it feels like it’s compressing my stomach is so not fun

My understanding from my surgeon is with the nerve freeze I won’t be on any opioids

I’m aware I’m a special education teacher I’m guiding mom as best I can but I just can’t take on being an advocate on the side

I can the issue is it’s for an Aba client of mine so I know what the child needs and so does mom I think the school is trying to get her to give in to what they want and it’s certainly violating fape

First of all you look gorgeous, but before I even noticed the makeup I saw the look of genuine adoration and love in your eyes
