throwing up my meds

You should have your doctor change your antibiotics if your system can't tolerate them. Throwing them up is no fun, and a waste of the treatment.

I'm taking zithromax. I threw up a lot before even taking them so I'm not sure if they are the cause. I just randomly puke throughout the day and it sucks that I'm wasting all the meds. I'm taking a lot of supplements too. I've had skin rashes before I started them too.

I just started zithro again and it upsets my good stomach, I can only imagine having to lump it into and already upset stomach. I would def touch base with your doc. Hopefully he/she can give you something to help settle your stomach.

Yes, didn't work for me. Try sipping on ginger tea. Fresh ginger is of course more effective, but even the powdered stuff works.

Take one cup of hot water and add 2 - 3 tsp of ginger and some natural sweetener (I use stevia) to taste and sip on it. It will eventually improve your entire digestive system, but should help settle your stomach as well.

If you can't tolerate the ginger, although I would encourage you to use it as it's much more effective - use peppermint tea.

I've dealt with sooo much nausea!! The only thing that helped correct it, and keep me from puking all the time was to start using ginger tea 3 times a day - every day for about 3 months. Now I use it several times a week to help with digestion.

I do ginger. I also smoke marijuana. I have zophran. I drink fresh peppermint I grew myself. I do GI
I tract powder. I feel like I've exhausted all avenues. Is it OK to take that much magnesium without talking to my llnd? If I stay still and don't move I won't puke. Talking provokes it. Getting up to pee usually makes me puke. I think it's from pain? I take tramadol for pain sometimes and I don't puke as much after. I can get out of my room too. I'm down to 93 pounds from 105.

I've heard of others that have to "sandwich" the abx in between food. Eat some of your meal, take the abx and then eat the remainder of the meal.

If you believe your pain meds aren't strong enough, see if your doc will okay you moving up to something else. You can't keep losing weight, that's for sure.

Be sure that you are eating foods that are high in good quality fats - avocados, nuts, nut butters, and even smoothies will help (use good yogurt, and remember that greek yogurt has active enzymes too).

It's generally best to take the abx first then 2 hours later take the probiotic to put the good bacteria back in after the abx has gone through wiping out whatever it does - but you have to find what works for you!

Again, if you think it's pain that is causing you to throw up so much, be sure to get a hold of your LLMD right away and get them to understand this. You need a better, not necessarily stronger, pain med. Many find that regular pain meds don't work as well as things that work on the nerves or nervous system.

Many try Gabapentin (Neurontin) and have good results, otherwise you just have to try different ones. You can do a search on here and use the search terms "Lyme, pain" and you should get quite a few threads come up to see what others have been using.

It never did for me, it helped reduce my pain for a while, then quit working for me. It's in the same class as Tramadol.

You just have to keep trying different things, just like with our treatments. Eventually you will find something that helps.
