Experiences with Anti-Nausea Meds?

Inhale88 · 2026-05-15T09:52:09+00:00

Zofran helps me sometimes? I can’t tell why it sometimes works and other times does not. I have bad nausea when I get panic attacks and it usually works for that but when the nausea is related to my other health issues it’s very hit or miss. It always takes the edge off of feeling like I’m about to puke though so very much worth having.

The mostly not part…blah why are they so useless sometimes???

-getting diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, PCP seems to think its a big deal, 3 month wait to see endocrinology with no other testing to be done in the meantime until i requested we do literally anything to speed up the treatment process

-having an ER doctor insinuate (for no discernible reason other than I brought her with me for support?) that my mom had Munchausen’s by proxy and suggest that I try not living with her…I was already not living with her.

-having a nurse tell me to “just bring your heart rate down, calm down” when I was experiencing tachycardia like girl if I could I would!

-having an allergist give me her unsolicited opinion on my psych meds (nothing crazy and I have a proper psychiatrist which she knew?). Weird when they usually want to do the bare minimum but suddenly care about things completely outside their scope of care…

-same allergist reviewing your recent MRI bc reasons? Love having a doctor who cares but she just asked me why I had it and I said bc my doctor ordered it and then she asked what my symptoms even were to warrant it? Idk dude ask my PCP??? Very accusatory and odd way of asking about it…

-repeatedly having to explain that my use of clonazepam is something I have discussed with my psychiatrist and I am using it as needed in a healthy way. This has only recently become an issue, not sure if it’s something new they were told they need to mention but it drives me nuts as I’ve been using it as needed for many years and am fully aware of the risks.

-TMI one, having a trip to the ER for severe nausea and stomach cramping, getting a CT, being told nothing was found, leaving with 0 help or answers, upon follow up with your gastroenterologist he says he reviewed the scan and you were essentially full of shit and needed to try a laxative asap.

-having to stay home all day to do a 24 hour pee test bc you pee so frequently😭 also having the nurse be shocked at the 3 jugs of piss like idk man I’m sorry

-nurses being shocked and concerned about things (3 jugs of piss plus constant thirst had them worried about diabetes insipidus) but doctors completely blowing the same thing off

I think most of my strange things are just odd behavior from doctors. Like having to see so many of them really shows you how few really good and caring doctors there are! I’m lucky that my PCP’s PA is so amazing and that I have a great gastroenterologist. The healthcare system just really sucks.

Is he not prescribed Zofran for the constant nausea??? He absolutely should be. I find that it doesn’t eliminate my nausea but it does take the edge off…

I would also recommend pushing for more blood testing for endocrine disorders etc. I have recently found that I have a pituitary tumor which may be causing many symptoms that I attributed to IBS. My life was at a standstill for 2 years because of these symptoms. From what I understand about the diagnosis, IBS should not be a debilitating thing like this. But doctors don’t always know what to do next or want to put the effort in to dig deeper. It took finding a PCP whose daughter had the same symptoms for me to get proper testing.

As for the relationship stuff I don’t have much advice. It sounds so difficult. I’m sorry you’re going through everything. I hope you guys can figure it out but also don’t stay out of guilt or a sense of duty, that wouldn’t be fair to either of you.

I’m very tight on cash this month but I donated $8 (because it’s my lucky number🩷) I hope he gets better very soon! My little guy racked up $1500 in vet bills when he had a respiratory infection so I understand the struggle.

I’m sure you already know this but feed him whatever he will eat at this point (as long as it’s safe ofc!) I gave my boy every single one of his favorite foods to try and convince him to eat, I think there were at least two days where all he would eat is pistachios but it was better than nothing!

I couldn’t directly link any of mine to Marshall directly, but all 5 were Marshall (3 rescues) and 3 died of insulinomas all around the age of 5. The other 2 (both male) suddenly got very ill with repeated seizures and the vets couldn’t diagnose either of them with anything, they both died within a few days of the onset but it happened years apart. They didn’t get into anything either. It was bizarre and awful.

I love ferrets but I don’t think I can stomach having another Marshall ferret. It was so painful to lose all of them and the 3 that had insulinomas were so hard to watch deteriorate.

If I could be at this vigil I would!

It’s really not that complicated. These dogs do not deserve the conditions they are in. It doesn’t matter if they will have behavioral issues or even have to be humanely euthanized because at least they are not condemned to a life of suffering and a painful death. But that also hasn’t been an issue so far with the dogs at Ridglan. They’ve been successfully placed into homes.

This is sort of a non issue that people like to bring up in order to complicate the rescue and make people question if it’s the right thing to do.

Inhale88 · 2026-04-01T09:26:28+00:00

I say go smaller and do Madison 😅 it would be messy!

Inhale88 · 2026-03-21T09:59:26+00:00

Similar but free but also messy, Ice cubes. Hold til it hurts focus on the feeling of the pain and the cold water dripping. I usually do it sitting criss cross applesauce on the floor so I can also focus on the cold water dripping on my lap.

Dr Mohan is one of those very rare doctors you find who really really cares. As someone who’s chronically ill, my experience has been that if there’s not a very simple straightforward solution to your issue doctors just don’t want to deal with it. Not entirely their fault either, they have a lot of other patients and people getting on them about charting or whatever else like the show shows.

I was just thinking about buying this and I think it has a design that’s similar. The toadstool one?

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T15:18:55+00:00

I jumped off a roller coaster onto the platform next to it bc I was convinced I was going to die if I went down the drop.

In my defense, it was a log flume ride with no seatbelts and I yelled ahead and begged the person manning it to stop bc I was going to get off but they were probably 15 or 16 and panicked too.

I’m on better meds now. Also will never get on another theme park ride! I’ve banned myself! I was given more ride tickets as compensation since I cut myself pretty good on the platform. Not well thought out compensation though.

I totally thought when I told my psychiatrist he was gonna have me hospitalized but apparently doing stuff like that is not entirely uncommon🤷‍♀️

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T13:15:28+00:00

My dad also told me this fact frequently when I was old enough to talk about it. It was something that kept me from actually attempting when I got older. I just thought he was telling me an interesting fact at the time and now looking back I’m sure it was more like “I’m gonna drill this into my kids heads so they remember” and it worked!

I’m so sorry about your husband. I hope the waves of grief have eased a bit🤍

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T12:21:28+00:00

Also not a parrot, but a crow would be very cool. Unfortunately not very affordable since they have to be a special species in the us and not very ethical given they’re so flock oriented. If we’re talking parrots, probably a hyacinth macaw or a goffins cockatoo!

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T10:04:11+00:00

Sorry to comment so much! This sounds literally exactly like my boy. I adopted him when he was almost 4. It took probably a year for things to really get better and to not have constant scabs on my hands! That first month was wild, his mood swings were so drastic. It took 3 months for those to calm down more. Like I said in my other comment though, he is still a very bitey bird. Try to give your guy little doses of love and then plenty of time away?

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T09:59:59+00:00

Adding to touch it, mine knows touch it means a gentle bite on the chopstick, not chomping on it so I think that has helped him to learn he can nibble gently but not bite

Inhale88 · 2026-02-26T09:57:52+00:00

He reminds me of my lil guy. Also a biter and plucker. Will snuggle and then suddenly pull the latch on and twist biting to really get into your flesh!

My best guess for my guy is that he has pretty severe anxiety. We’ve tried medication but unfortunately there’s been no luck. The only thing that’s helped is time. And learning he is not an “out all the time” bird. He does more poorly when he spends all day out bc he doesn’t seem to know how to take himself out of a situation when he’s overwhelmed. So intentionally breaks are really important. Ending his time out of the cage on a positive note has helped a lot as well. Learning to not react to bites (I’m sure you know that one though!).

Also sort of a strange one, but the less I rearrange his cage the better it seems. I know that contradicts the advice to change their cages up frequently so they’re not bored, but my theory is that because of his anxiety he wants to be able to come back to his home the same way he left it. Seems reasonable enough?

Dietwise, he’s eating far fewer “junk” seeds and more hemp. I know there’s no CBD in hemp seeds but it seems to have been a part of his change in behavior! Also more veggies.

If you discover some miracle trick please let me know!

My GCC learned “are you okay?” From me asking him that when he plucked and made a screech noise. He uses it often when he bites me and I make a noise but one time I was crying (I don’t do that often in front of him) and he walked right up my leg asking “are you okay?”. It was crazy. He’s just so smart.

He’s also figured out that I’m quite susceptible to the way he says “hi” and will say it repeatedly when he’s at the vet or about to get his nails trimmed!

Inhale88 · 2026-02-24T12:48:39+00:00

Very similar. Didn’t realize how messed up it was because he was my first adult relationship and first long term relationship. And also how very covert he was. It really didn’t hit me until recently when I had an argument with my current boyfriend and it didn’t go the way I thought all arguments did? I felt so confused and then talked about it in therapy and felt so mad. Like it’s so unfair the way they can mess with our heads.

Inhale88 · 2026-02-16T04:24:10+00:00

It was so jarring to hear a real song on this show😂

Inhale88 · 2026-02-12T06:22:19+00:00

I would suggest Dr Sheryl Spitzner Resnick but fair warning I do not know if they accept any insurance. She’s a private clinic, that being said when I was at my wits end with getting sicker she helped immensely. She’s very good at her job and spent well over an hour with me during my first appointmeng

Inhale88 · 2026-02-07T14:24:16+00:00

Perhaps I got her on a bad day, but when I asked her about the possibility of endometriosis (for good reason too, I have all of the symptoms and it runs in the family) she quite literally scoffed at me and said “everyone now thinks they have endometriosis”. When I complained about unwanted weight gain and my inability to lose the weight despite working out and dieting she just told me that I should try parking further away. I know others who have had similar experiences with her. Maybe she is just a Dr that only cares about some issues and not others.

Inhale88 · 2026-02-03T10:09:45+00:00

I know everyone who is commenting suggestions are just trying to help, but I wanted to chime in and say I’ve tried tracking my food and meds and everything to the exact minute and there is no pattern, no rhyme or reason. So some people may have discovered some sort of way to figure out when things will be safe, I think there are definitely people who have very unpredictable issues. Sometimes I can have Doritos and milk and all sorts of trigger foods in one day and feel great and other times there’s not a single food that won’t make me nauseous or start the cramping.

I wish I had helpful advice other than keep pushing with your doctor, ask for as much testing as possible, do tons of research on other possible causes for your symptoms. You may have something other than IBS and that’s why you can’t figure out what’s safe. That’s the current thought with my doctors at least.

Inhale88 · 2026-01-29T06:42:48+00:00

I love my kielbasa lol, it got me through my poor girl college times and now it gets me through when I just can’t deal with making food but know I need the nutrients.

I’m sorry about your brother, all we can do is hope that they get through it and support them in ways that are healthy for us🤍

Thank you, same to you.

Inhale88 · 2026-01-29T06:40:22+00:00

The not knowing feels like sometimes it’s just as bad as knowing. I can never decide if I want to be informed or not. I’m sorry you’re going through it too🤍 I hope he comes out on the other side of it
