Anyone up? It's 0230 eastern time

Hi TMJpain:

I'm sorry I missed you, it's 3:25 a.m. eastern time. I take Zofran (Ondansetron) for nausea as well, and it does work quite well. Sometimes I get nauseated from my high pain level.

I also have a condition called gastroparesis that now is pretty much controlled by a device implanted in my stomach called a gastric pacemaker, but before the doctors figured out what was wrong with me, I went through a year of non-stop wretched vomitting that just would not let up and did not respond to any medications whatsoever.

I hope that you are feeling better soon,

Lorie

I may be too late to join the party as it is 2 am on the west coast. about the time I get ready for bed, those on the east coast will be getting up. That sounds like a normal routine for some of us. When people are going to be we are up and when they are up we are trying to go to bed. Anyway, I am waiting for my 9PM meds to take effect that I took at 1:30 am. That might make for a long night but hopefully for sleepy morning.

Suzanh, I also want to welcome you. There are many of us that seem to take turns staying up at night as we deal with the pain and all the things that go with it. Some of us are long time endurers while others are new to the constant pain. Just read as much as you like join in when you feel comfortable. As PAlady said, start a new thread and just tell us about yourself, what you feel comfortable sharing and you will find some very compassionate people here. We all share CP in common. I look forward to having you with us.
