Morning sickness .......

Hi all,

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 :)

Does your consultant know about this sickness problem you have in the morning?

No, but I am seeing him next week and will mention it. I didn't know if it was a side effect of my meds.

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

Hi Charlie.

Sorry you're struggling with nausea. I, too, suffered when I was on chemo.

As recommended by others, you should certainly alert your physician to this issue. My nephrologist prescribed meds that really helped, including:

Zofran (Ondansetron)

Reglan (Metoclopramide)

Wishing you strength and improved health!

Michele
