Now for the other side....every pain pill they gave me caused more adverse side effects, mostly nausea, than good so after trying AND BUYING every pain pill and combination in the world and ending up in the ER 3 times due to nausea related dehydration, constipation, etc., etc., I decided on my own that I was better off without them so I stopped them all together and my nausea got better and I survived the TX. That's why we constantly said that each of us can react differently to all this glorious Tx has to offer.
