Hi @gingerw 😊
It's so great to hear from you this morning! You always have such wonderful advice. You are totally correct that it's my off-the-scale stress level that is making me nauseous. Matter of fact, I was in the shower last night and I actually said to myself that "life was making me nauseous". I need to calm down. After my transplant I came down with CMV, then BK (which I have now), then covid (which I have now). I also have my elderly parents living with me. Mom is on dialysis. Now they both have covid. I feel terrible about them being sick and have my myself worried every minute. Checking on them in the middle of the night. You nailed it Ginger! I need to make myself a hot cup of tea and relax myself for a moment before I give myself more symptom, like nausea, to deal with. Also, thanks for giving me a heads up about the nausea medication. It sounds like de-stressing is definitely the preferred solution.
Thank you again Ginger for jumping in to help me. Your advice really hit home ❤

Good Morning @hello1234
Wow, I sure admire you, taking care of your elderly parents! You have a lot on your plate!
Did the nausea just start after being diagnosed with Covid? Maybe it is related to Covid? I have had some nausea issues prior and post transplant. Sometimes it helps to eat a little something if I have an empty stomach, especially if I have taken my meds. Even drinking something other than water can help like cold 7-Up. Like @gingerw stated, I have experienced that Ondansetron or Zofran can shut down your gut. I still may take this very occasionally like when I need to be fasting for a long time like at Mayo on the day of my labs and kidney biopsy. In the 1st month after transplant when my tx meds were a higher dosage the Ondansetron didn’t completely shut things down, and I took it sometimes on days I needed labs drawn. Like you, I worry about keeping my tx meds down. Can you get any help taking care of your parents so you can rest considering you are recovering from Covid yourself? Did they get the monoclonal antibodies, too?
