Thankyou for the response. I’m going to somehow force protein into me. Read in some studies you need 70-100 gms a day. Not easy when nauseated. I just walk and have tried to build muscle in my legs while waiting for treatment. Very hard to consider exercising when you read the list of side effects coming your way!!! Happy you are getting your strength back. F$%@ this stupid disease!

Not sure this article will help, but has suggestions for protein sources. Hopefully few on list will not make you nausea. It is for patient who have had weight loss surgery, but could apply to anyone trying to meet their daily protein needs.
