Same. Been intermittently bursting to the bathroom to spew my insides out.
Going to try and pursuade my doc to script me some ondansetron come monday morning when the surgery opens, they gave me some in hospital by mouth, which came right back up amidst a torrential gout of the most unspeakable, noxious chunky spleen slush puppy, of a virulent and lurid greenish shade of khaki, acidic enough to feel like its stripped a layer or two off the surface of my teeth in saying goodbye.
And the shits. Not so bad as the offal-chunk-gushing barf-tsunamis though. Listeria, possibly, given my old man had camembert cheese, a lot of which as been recently recalled due to listeria contamination.
I've been practically drinking gaviscon by the pint, loading up with hyoscine butylbromide and hyoscine/scopolamine transdermal patches, as well as cyclizine, which does give me some relief, but only for a short while. In the hospital, for my hand, when I kept retching up buckets of foam and bile when I got given that ondansetron though....damn, that was incredibly effective and very quick acting. The doc did give me some funny looks and the starts of some sort of questioning, when he was being too slow for my liking, and with a not too comfortable technique either when it comes to giving intramuscular injections. I got fed up of his buggering about, took it from him, shot it and gave him back the empty rig. Within minutes, I'd stopped feeling nauseous, stopped horking chunks and spewing bile foam. Fucking incredible stuff. Its expensive as meds go, and the NHS don't like using it much, but for things like cancer patients chemo sickness, and when other, first line antiemetics either have been used and found not to bring relief, or where they cannot for some reason be used. I can't tolerate antidopaminergics, like domperidone, trifluoroperazine (That was a bad one, a really, really bad one), metaclopramide, promethazine etc.
And I'd already been taking cyclizine as a regular med, for my sedating type antihistamine choice and antinauseant, as well as buscopan, so all that was left really, is ondansetron and other closely related serotonin 3HT3 antagonists. As well as the likes of synthetic or extracted THC products, nabilone, marinol, the cannabinoidergic type pharmaceuticals. But I don't see my being given those, what with people's general prejudice against all things weed and spice.
