Suggestions For Nausea During Treatment
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I will be starting my VRD treatment this Wednesday. Does everyone get nauseated when getting treatment? What foods and drinks have worked for you? I was thinking ginger ale and saltiness. Applesauce... Is the nausea worse on the first day of the cycle? Any suggestion on foods to eat and what to drink? Thanks!

Wendym, The nurses usually have standing orders for anti nausea medication or they can get an order from your doctor, just ask, no reason to be uncomfortable when their is medication to relieve the problem. Sometimes one anti nausea medication doesn’t work as well as another so say something if it doesn’t seem to be working. There are several medications to try. Love, Marcia 🌸

Hi I was given an anti nausea medicine. I ate everything. Think the dex increased my appetite.

RVD did not make me nauseous. I still find that I get a little sick feeling when I am tired. I take a nap and feel better.

The dex also helps with the nausea. My husband had few issues. Hope you do well

I know we are all different but I agree with Peter. I started out taking my premed for that but went down to half dose and no issues so I went off it and haven't needed it. Good luck,
