I've been wretching and vomiting up mucous for the last 2 weeks.
For me there is a definite correlation between mucous and nausea/vomiting. I wake up 2x per night to get sick. My RO has tried a few drugs and Reglan seems to work the best in conjunction with Zofran.
Treatment ended yesterday so I hope to start to get better.

So sorry you are having such a hard time. Hang in there. Just a few more weeks and it should ease up a bit.

I would have a napkin or cloth nearby to spit into constantly. I would sleep on my side with a facecloth underneath my cheek so it would drain out while I slept.
That is pretty much what I did. it will get better. Hugs.
