Yes, you're right, we're experimenting with remedies! He said that he feels like the sickly sweet issue is in his sinuses. I know that when he gets the saline flush and/or the IV hydration, he's immediately nauseated by the taste and smell. It gets worse when the treatment starts and he says that he feels the chemicals in his throat. The one time he vomited, he got some relief for a short time. He going to try taking the Reglan consistently for a few days and see if that works. 🤞 Thank you for your help!

When I get the saline flush it smells like alcohol to me and makes me feel sick to my stomach. The last time I had the flush , I told them to give me heads up so I could hold my breath- after the flush I then exhaled, and it worked better for me so I didn't have to breathe in during the flush. Have had 6/12 treatments.
