How do you cope when being sick and not keeping pain meds down?

[missteal]

I've been being sick for 2 days now and am normally on amitriptyline and tramadol. I'm due on my period tomorrow, dislocated the cartilage in my knee on Wednesday and now my hips are agony. I can't keep my meds down so what should I do? xx

Speak to your pharmacist. They are much more helpful than most people realize.

I am a trained pharmacist assistant lol. I already take peppermint oil tablets for the sickness. My gp has told me if this happens again to go to a&e to get intravenous pain killers :/

I have suffered with chronic sickness since 2012, I started with the same meds s yourself plus soplerdol and diclofenic, not good and was given metacoplomide which worked on and off for a while, Now i am on Pain patches fentynal 75mg and oramorph, Most day i now can avoid being sick by juicing 6 organic kiwis and 1 inch of raw fresh ginger and 2 pieces of stem ginger with 2 tbl spoons of the syrup, howerver there are days when this does not work so i have now Ondansetron 4mg which are usually given to patients having chemo, I do not take these daily only when i have to go out which thankfully is not very often, but due to this i have to have an amubulance take me to my appointments as now in wheelchair and having some random siezures. aswell as multi level disc degenerative disease affecting all of my lumbar & lower spine. Personally I recommend juicing it has worked not only for me but my siblings and children which all have EDS and after a week its amazing how much stronger physically and mentally it makes you also it helps reduce pain levels

Also i have been told long term use of anti sickness can cause parkinsons type symptoms.
