i am not taking any pain meds. they constipate me and keep me groggy. As far as the feeding tube goes, i dont use it anymore. i never had much resistance for it. it made me very sick. for nausea they are giving me reglan and nexium but at night i get extremely nauseaus. i am trying accupuncture for the nausea but i am not sure is working. i have to give it a chance i only had one treatment going for the second today.
