I am sorry you are having such a hard time - hang in there and I hope you will get your answer soon. Just a few thoughts: when I was SO nauseated from adhesions (lost 35 #'s in < 3 months), the only thing that would tough my nausea was a drug called Zophran. It comes in tabs that dissolve on your tongue (like cotton candy does). Although, this does not taste entirely like cotton candy. The draw back of this, is it is very expensive - like $5 per tab. You only can take 2 a day a most, I never had to, but many days I did have to take one. So, although expensive, it is an option.
When you are feeling yucky, a good thing to drink is Carnation Instant Breakfast. Nutritionists say it has more protein, vitamins, minerals, etc than any other product on the market. Better than Boost, Ensure, etc. Remember your nutrition while you are sorting this out - it is important to keep your immune system up and going as well as all the other things that nutrition impacts. Suppliments like this are good for "snacks", not in place of meals, like treats between meals. I loved the chocolate. I do hope you are feeling better soon - we know how miserable it can be. Judy
