I have Rheumatoid Vasculitis and am on sulfasalazine, prednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, gabapentin and rituximab infusions. I am still able to work but it takes me a good hour to get ready in the morning due to the aches and pains. I also suffer from vomiting first thing in the morning, which gets me down - I don't get this at any other time during the day.
Can anyone please advise on what I can do to help with the vomiting. I take omeprazole to protect my tummy, but wonder if anyone else suffers with this and if you have any miracle remedies.
Thank you so much

Hi Charlie i suffered with the sickness bug for a while and i spoke to my consultant he suggested i take the omeprazole tablet in the evening.I did so and so far it has worked for me,I have vasculitis,wenegers by the way.Hope this helps.
Hi Keithtim10. I will try this, thank you. Sometimes it can be the simplest change that works and I didn't think to take it at night!! I will let you know how I get on.
Hi Charlie I'm not sure if it will help as you take different medications to me. I have Churg strauss and suffered from feeling sick in the morning and I helped to always make sure I took my medication after food - I took prednisolone and pregabalin. I've also had to swap my stomach protector a couple of times as I used to take lanzoprozole for a couple of years then couldn't tolerate so now I take rantadine - but there are you a few you can take. And looking at the times I took my medication also I swapped around. If you have a good chemist or the hospital chemist they can give you good advice about how the medication may be interacting with each other and their side effects. I think you should also speak to your consultant. Best of luck
