Do you suffer from nausea?

We have a seminar on Friday about nausea and vomiting as well as other GI symptoms- please check it out! It is featured as a cancer issue but many of our drugs are similar so those side effects often affect us too!
For my first kidney I had plenty of symptoms getting used to the drugs and then on dialysis and in esrd it was awful. One time I thought I was never going to stop throwing up each morning and it ended up being a dental abscess!
The point is that there are many reasons for nausea and we might be able to address some of them by sharing experiences.

@coopscadoop I believe it's 9pst, 10mt and 12est. time zones are confusing so I'd double check that, but all the correct info will be on the webinar registration page that's linked above :)
Yes @AliEm14 is correct with the times. So @coopscadoop I believe you are in PST, and it corrected to your time zone when you clicked the link to register.

Thanks @Karin , @TServold & @AliEm14 - I too am registered for this one! As transplant recipients, on immunosuppressive meds, many of us are compelled to deal with Digestive Issues. Looking forward!

Can’t wait to learn more - we need both the science behind it and the hacks to get us through!

I wanted to share a cool tip I learned in connection to this! I was in the hospital yesterday and my nurse said low running oxygen and an alcohol swab under the nasal prongs. We tried it, because I was really nauseous and it worked. She said while we might not have access to oxygen at home, an alcohol swab (pure alcohol, not clorahexadine) and air blowing in my face might have a similar effect. Thought I’d pass that along if it could help anyone else. It smells terrible but it worked!
