Hi All,

From the start of my treatment I was told by a few nurses that with all the anti-nauasea medications availible today, there is really no reason anyone has to suffer from nausea. In my case nausea has been my biggest problem and continues to be the main factor keeping me from returning to a normal life. From the start, my MO has prescribed numerous nausea meds to try and control this and nothing seemed to work. He even prescribe OLANZAPINE (generic for Zyprexa) which is a anti psychotic drug that has one side effect of calming nausea. (I'm am not psychotic) He said try it, it might help. Even that doesnt seem to work. My question is, should I ask my MO to continue to try to find a medication that works? I think I've tried about five or so, and I dont know how many are availible, but if I could find something to help with this nausea, I would be a giant step forward in my recovery. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike
