trt,

I keep harping on this topic to no avail but it really helps if we ALL post our DX and TX, etc under our signature so that people that take the time to answer can do so with a more complete picture.

That said for the umteenth time, I thought I read that you weren't taking chemo? I'm not sure why they would refer you to a MO if chemo is not involved. I had concurrent chemorad and I had both my RO and my MO prescribing me meds for EVERYTHING and I complained often that there wasn't one appointed Meds person for me to go to so I would call about this problem and would be told "you have to see so and so for that" and the next time I would call so and so and would be told " oh, Dr Other so and so handles that". For probably many reasons, none of which will ever be known in my lifetime, none of the so and so's ever could get my nausea under control. I kept crying out " if you guys can just solve my nausea, I'll be quiet". I eventually gave up and stopped taking all meds; fought thru the pain and my nausea went away and that finally got me over that BIG hump.

Sorry to vent re the posting of the DX, Tx, etc but when you try and answer a lot of posts it's really time consuming if that info is not readily available BESIDES IT'S TAX SEASON AND I'M EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE TO BEGIN WITH.
