I'd really like an IV to get some guaranteed daily nutrition & not feel grossly nauseous. And I hate needles/IVs a lot. I feel like shit, with several sides of hangry.

Denturist appointment at 3pm, today.
Dentist appointment at 12:45pm, today.

The Gravol Ginger isn't working this morning. I'm still nauseous & unable to eat or take my essential antibiotics. I'm crying because I don't know what else to do & am so weak & hungry.

@PhoenixSerenity Sending lots of positive thoughts for your appointments today to produce a solution (that doesn't involve the hospital!).

Glad to have this #pedialyte to keep me going til I can go see dentist this afternoon. It's the only thing I can keep down atm.

I ran out & Mom got me more this morning.

En route to dentist. I feel like shit. Looks can be deceiving.

Got saline via IV. Taken off antibiotics. Got 2nd dentures adjustment. Heading home. Update more in a bit.

Day 6, update.

My dentist checked my gums & there's no infections. He put me on IV saline treatment for an hour, which helped me feel better almost immediately after. Both antibiotics have been removed from my recovery management plan - they were the cause of my nausea for past few days. I will be able to eat again, tonight 👍

I went to my denturist, immediately after the dentist appointment & got my 2nd dentures adjustment on the upper one. He fixed the area that was causing pain & it's same area that my dentist will have to do extra work on, once my gums are less swollen & more healing has occurred. My bite had changed from dentures impression time to final extractions time so there's going to be several more adjustments in coming weeks.

@PhoenixSerenity Wonderful that you don't need the antibiotics that have been causing the nausea!

@PhoenixSerenity I'm so sorry. Flat ginger ale in small sips helps me. I hope you feel better soon ❤️‍🩹

@kellyromanych TY. I hate this so much.
Show threadKellyAnn Romanych (she/her)Jul 2, 2024
@PhoenixSerenity I know. Especially when you do your best to care for yourself. Nausea is awful. Anything touching the tummy, inside or out, makes it react. If the flat ginger ale is hard to sip, I make them into crushed ice and take small bits. Then move into electrolytes and brat foods.

@kellyromanych I thought I was well prepared & had stocked up on a lot of supplies. I didn't expect to have several days of nausea where I now can't keep anything but some pedialyte down.

@PhoenixSerenity ❤️‍🩹 maybe your system is sensitive to the antibiotics & needs a change. You've gone through a lot.
Show threadMs. Que BanhJul 2, 2024
@kellyromanych Yes, pretty sure it's the combo of 2 antibiotics + Advil anti-inflammatory pills causing ongoing nausea. I stopped taking T3s a few days ago as they were too strong for my tummy.
