Any Suggestions For Someone Who Has An Upset Stomach When He's Getting Transfusions?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question ๐Ÿ’ญ

The gentleman is in the process of diagnosis but appears to possibly be a blood cancer. They are giving him transfusions because of his bloodwork numbers. Transfusions didn't make me sick so I'm not a lot of help.

Have them slow down the transfusion. It worked for me.

Darlene, They can give you an anti nausea medication either by infusion or orally. Zofran is given quite often. They can also give you a prescription to take at home if needed. Also, like Peter mentioned they can slow down the infusion, sometimes that will help. Have a good night! Love, Marcia ๐ŸŒธ
