Dont let this get away from you. Alot of OC patients get fentanyl patches, they are easy and work very well. You put it on and change it every 3 days.
There are many very good anti nasuea meds out there. Some of them are very expensive, just outrageous at around $100 per pill. Thats also something you must stay on top of or it can sneak up on you and get out of control very quickly.
Best of luck with your treatments.
