Hallelujah the culprit may have been found!!

So it turns out I might have been having a reaction to my painkillers this entire time, and that's what was causing the overwhelming nausea.

 

Tramadol. Not quite an opiate which is why it was prescribed to me, because this little duck is allergic to opiates. Except it made me nauseous because the number one adverse effect of Tramadol is, low and behold, nausea.

 

I took that little pill every freaking night. And woke up the next day feeling like death. Not last night though, and today I feel SO SO SO much better!

 

So I'm praying that that was it, and I can go back to being human now. Maybe I might even be able to go back to work tomorrow!

 

*happy dance*

 

And can I say, in the absence of nausea, that I'm feeling otherwise pretty damned fine.

I know how you feel. The last time I took an Endone pill I felt like death. Nausea,dizzy etc etc. Hope you start feeling better now that you have worked that out.

The funny thing is it never even connected in my mind that it might be the Tramadol. But having said that I've been in a fuzzy-brained haze of nausea, so maybe that's why! Today is the first time I actually feel clear headed since my op.

WOW-meds can do a job on people. My husband has very mild diabetes and one med made his sugar go over 500 and need 6 shots a day. Off that med and now takes 2 pills at dinner.

Glad you're feeling better. By the way-in your picture-you look 'f' amazing.
