Small update. I had a reaction to some of the pills I was taking. A very bad reaction. Starting at 5:30 am I couldn’t keep food down.
At first I thought it was my dinner, so I made an egg sandwich and went back to bed. Woke up and threw it up at 10:30. Switched to bread, took my pills but everything came back up. Finally got bread and pills to stay down but after an hour I was in the bathroom.
5 times total it happened, once even when my stomach was empty. 
so, back to the ER for me.
They thought it was one of the pills and the pain patch. So the swapped two things and gave me 4 more pills. Sigh. They put me on an IV and gave me anti-nausea medication.
I’m home and have successfully been able to keep crackers and a banana down as well as all my pills.
This is officially not the best week ever except that my cat is accompanying me everywhere, even into the bathroom.
=(
Feel better Jiu-jiu!!
Thank you! Hugs!
I think you may be allergic to that pain patch. Is it called Tramadol by any chance? I got injected with Tramadol once and threw up the entire time. I hear that loads of people are allergic to Tramadol and have similar nausea, throwing up symptoms like you.
Anyway, do get better dear!
My patches were called Durogesic DTrans patches (fentanyl). I’ve noticed I had the same reaction when given vicodin – all the pain goes away and accumulates in my forehead giving me a monstrous headache and nausea.
Thanks. Today I’m feeling right as rain. Well, with back pain, but nausea free.
Aww I’m sorry to hear that – I’ve had reactions to medication and it’s so unpleasant it hurts just to think about it. Kitties help everything in some way though. I was really sick a month or two ago, spent all night sitting in a hot shower feeling miserable (hot showers are my go-to cure) and now and then my two cats would come in to check on me, looking very concerned. The little one even brought one of her mousie toys and left it on the mat for me. Cats are seriously the best. Assuming you’re fully recovered at this point, and I hope all’s well!
