 | Chemotherapy Induced Nausea |

Does anybody have any experience with electrical devices which are supposed to
reduce the nausea and vomiting post chemotherapy induced?
This device is strapped on the wrist and is apparently FDA approved too
I read in many places that ginger can help reduce nausea simptoms during
pregnancy.
You that have used it can please tell me what kidn of ginger u used?
tablets? what dosage? tea?
---------------------
-I am just coming up to 10 weeks and am feeling much better having
spent the last 6 weeks being really ill. I tried everything including
ginger and don't really think anything helped that much, the only
thing that helped me was keeping my head really still, moving slowly
and not trying to do anything much. At the worst I was sleeping
with my head raised up and that seemed to help. I tried:
ginger - 1 teaspoon grated into hot water, didnt work
crystalised ginger - didnt work
peppermint - a few leaves in hot water, didnt work
travel bands - elastic things that you wear on your wrists that apply
pressure to a point supposed to stop nausea - didnt work but hurt
slightly, thus taking my mind off things!
dry toast/crackers etc - no use -I'm in medical research (internal medicine) in Jerusalem and the following is
an hypothesis that *may* be effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea.
In any case, check with your oncologist BEFORE attempting this. The article has been submitted to a medical journal and I have deleted the
(18) references in order to save space.
