[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 575315, member: 1233"] If the nausea is from the morphine, then the pain doctor is the one who needs to rx them. for a reg doctor, who isn't dealing with your pain issues, a patient that keeps having nausea is supposed to be sent to a gastro to rule out serious stomach problems. If the reg doctor gives you nausea medications time and again, with-o doing anything to figure out why you have nausea, then he can be guilty of malpractice. He might see your medication list if he looked at it, but if he hasn't seen you in a while he may assume that the medications have all changed. I live with almost constant nausea. It has been about a year since I went more than about ten days with-o vomiting. My body does this with or with-o pain medications and has for decades, literally since I was fifteen or so. At this point it is mostly because my first doctor to treat the fibro/whatever issues just kept me on medications that tore up my system and gave no warning that it could mess up y ssytem. Same doctor's neglect of this issue resulted in my mother having the valve on the bottom of her stomach removed. He was really awful, but we didn't know that at the time. My pain doctor gives me 120 phenergan a month. Yes, that many. And I usually NEED them. They work much better than zofran. If you run out of nausea medications, phenergan and benadryl are VERY closely related. You can take 2 benadryl and it can be helpful if you don't have any other medication that works. You also might look for a probiotic with digestve enzymes at the store. I use the cheapest one that WM has and it is very helpful with the medication related nausea. not sure why, not sure I care why. I just find it can help. The doctor who gives you the morphine should give you the medications to control the side effects. I just include the medications that can be faxed on the request for the ones that have to be written and the dr office takes care of it. But they have us asking for our refills over the internet now, and it is awesome. Works very very well. I have been changed to the only female doctor in the practice and I really, really like her, as much as my doctor that left so suddenly. I actually like her nurses better.
