[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 682895, member: 1233"] I wrote about going to the ER 10 days ago. I haven't posted much since because I still feel horrible. I have not stopped throwing up almost everything I eat. I have been quite careful to eat foods that are easy on the stomach (crackers, chicken broth, rice, oatmeal etc...) and to take my regulalr medications plus nausea medications. This isn't withdrawal or related to withdrawal because I fight to keep my medications down for at least an hour after I take them. I ended up at the ER again yesterday. On Tues we had to clear out to have the apartment fumigated (they have a bug issue but are being very good about clearing it up) so we went to my parents. I was really sick and spent the day, the night and most of the next day in the guest room. Wed night was really bad and yesterday just kept getting worse. So I finally called my mom to take me to the ER as hubby was 70 miles away at work. The ER doctor gave me imitrex for the migraine part, fluids, reglan and benadryl. He had a CAT scan of my head done and of my abdomen done. Everything was normal so he said he couldn't do anything more. I am incredibly frustrated. I have thrown up so much that my entire abdomen feels bruised and sore inside. I am HUNGRY but keeping anything down is very difficult. I am so dehydrated that they could barely get an IV in. I am taking medications for nausea, to keep my stomach from producing so much acid, to deal with the acid that it does produce, and my reg medications which include a medication to stop abdominal spasms. I have not had shortness of breath or the chest pain, which is a blessing. I have been dizzy off and on and I sort of shake or vibrate like I am shivering even though I am not cold. ANY advice or home remedies would be appreciated. I had husband pick up some fresh ginger and will try ginger tea to see if that helps the nausea, but I don't know what else to try. [/QUOTE]
