Hi, just thought I'd chime in about the foot massage. My daughter visited us the other day and suggested I give my husband a foot massage, that it may actually help with the nausea. I tried it, and although I am not sure if the nausea wasn't calming down on its own, but the therapeutic benefits of the foot massage were worth it no matter. He really enjoyed it thoroughly and I have been giving him a foot massage every night since. It relaxes him and makes him feel better for awhile, and it costs nothing. Every little thing helps!
