[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 23639, member: 1963"] RM, this is actually good news. You aren't allergic, just over sensitive. Mention the vomiting. There ARE antinausea drugs that can be given IV, newer ones that might help you. In fact, an easy fix with IV medications is for them to be injected VERY slowly. That often stops the nausea from happening. Puking my guts up was the routine after surgery and pain medications for years. Last surgery I had they managed to control the puking from an intestinal obstruction let alone from the medications. They've come a long way with this stuff. One thing that helps a LOT is to eat even before IV medications. I had a rough time as I wasn't allowed to eat until my digestive tract started moving again (how else do you 'splint' your innards) They have new antinausea drugs and good stuff you can take by mouth or IV to prevent stomach upset so you can take the medications. I'm an opiat/anesthesia puker as well. hth toK [/QUOTE]
