You have my empathy on both counts! I also had hyper-emesis with my pregnancy. Oy…but at least that was 40 years ago when I was offered a med that’s no longer available. I was in the hospital for dehydration. I’m so sorry you’re going through that horrid nausea with no improvement in prevention for that condition.

At least for the chemo, I know neulasta is a breakthrough to help get our immune system back on track and that Claritin definitely helps the side effect pain. Like I said in one of my former comments, I consider myself a tough old bird but wowzee…that pain was like no other. Intense and on a scale of 1-10 was a 15! If you take the Claritin don’t stop too quickly. Keep it up for at least 7 to 10 days. Let me know how it works for you and best of luck with the treatments! I’m sorry you need chemo but it can be a life saver. I wouldn’t be here without it. Hugs.
