Same Birth Date Cpatability

To do or not to do ...

A "use" for Temodal from "Down and Dirty Tricks-box" by Gerd - in the absence a reasonable awareness among doctors ...

If you should get into the predicament, need this "devil" ever, then I have a few "dirty tricks" for you, that you can make make life with the "tablets dirt" easier:

first Temodal good as always and exactly 1 hour after taking Zofran or ondansetron.

second Zofran / ondansetron lingual is more expensive, but worth it in terms of really taking Temodal for the nausea, to insist that you prescribe the lingual version. The simple effect: the lingual-Vrsion melts on the tongue and tastes halfway bearable to something like that as strawberry. Quite artificially but is still better than the tablet. And you have not also with half a liter of water to fill up the stomach, two hours later when a bad eh.

third Temodal never, never, never take but never not with caffeinated beverages. I had terrible diarrhea therefore, alternating with constipation because I had thought I had three bottles Colamix about the evening New Year's Eve "celebration." This took revenge over 7 days bitter.

4th Although the doctors say, You can safely take up to 4 Zofran / ondansetron tablets, but I think that is nonsense! My experience has shown me several times that It is best if it leaves in a single day. The blockage that is causing this stuff will only get worse with more tablets and will last the longer. Instead, I recommend fresh air and exercise and drink, especially a lot! The best tea or mineral water. Juices I would rather avoid. The appeals from the third or fourth day, the stomach so that you constantly have stomach pains. When a blockage there is, of course then before, when the day is drinking apple juice. The fruit acid is my experience that mild laxative and makes your life in combination with ondansetron.

I find any, that the medical school a lot because of too few tips how to deal with the food, if you do chemo. I got last September, a poor piece of paper. Because on it were the most important survival rules. The rest I had to learn by laborious trial and error. Why would you do if someone else has already been through?

5th I take Zofran / ondansetron accessible by 15 clock and quite genu an hour later the Temodal. This has the advantage that you can eat later wary 18:30 (!) In the evening. If it is not überteibt eat with, it's almost as if one would make no chemo.

6th In my experience, are the effects of fatty foods for dinner on the devastating Digestive system if you have taken these cytostatics. Therefore, avoided fatty foods. In addition, one should during chemotherapy phase as not fond of cooking. But the odor can "bring" an even nausea. And the sense of cytostatics is that they stay inside. They are designed to act as poison to the tumor cells.

The body reacts to poison, of course, with symptoms of poisoning. Therefore, a poorly. This can then try using agents such as ondansetron, or Zofran suppress. These funds have unpleasant side effects but again, also not the intention.

Therefore, it is important to an individual heruaszufinden mediocrity, how much we need necessarily To ensure that the cytostatic stay where they are: the bottom of the stomach and what turn is there. "

7th While chocolate is delicious, but also promotes digestion problems. I try to resist this temptation during chemotherapy as well as possible. Of course I do that not always. It supports my opinion, but a slight headache. The I-taking Temodal in fact some say. Especially in the broader Verluf to take the chemo. Thank God takes the pills phase, only five days. That is to stand by. It is serene but not precisely.

8th I usually have one (now only slightly) rash when I Temodal engaging. It has been found that the best is to suppress mg with a mixture of "Pruricalm lotion" and "triamcinolone" in the ratio 150 g / 0.1. NOW, if it is producing at a start, itching, ointment on it and it's quiet. The triamcinolone acetonide is known from the group of corticosteroids, ie cortisone, but I've been told that is absorbed through the skin cortisone only in small quantities. Therefore, it is also advisable to avoid the ointment more often than two times per day to carry on the same spot on. But that was the advice that had given me the allergology. So far, I am so done well.

I had already at the first cycle of Temodal violent skin reactions on the Temodal. That happened to me but because of a mutmaßlchen Kreuszreaktion with carbamazepine - an anti-epileptic drug. This was fairly soon exchanged for Keppra (levetiracetam ). And since peace is on the skin. Although it appears here and there on an itch, but since I know how easy it is to eliminate that worries me any more.
