Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Leanne, Do you have a family doctor you could explain to him/her your situation..ie..vomiting, pain unable to keep the meds down, your GI's attitude about it, and just needing something to tide you over until you can get to your new pancreas specialist? And do you have any pain meds at home to help you with your pain? My GI once told me that as well as Phenergan Suppositories, one can get a cream version of Haldol which a patient rubs into their wrists and this is supposed to relieve nausea and vomiting fairly spontaneously. You should ask about this also, as if it works, it would enable you to be able to keep your pain meds down so they can work for you. One thing about this illness is that it presents a lot of catch 22 situations to deal with.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
