Nausea and Acupuncture

Yesterday was non-stop nausea.  My guess is that the three day anti-nausea meds were wearing off and I was just experiencing the effects of the chemo.  However, there seemed to be no remedy.  I lived on phenergan and zofran, dozing off and on throughout the day and evening...to no avail.  Basically it was a wasted day...I accomplished zilch!

I reasoned that today would be a bit better.  It was.  Barely.   Rich had an appointment with the VA in Johnson City so we headed out about 9:15.  After his appointment we left directly for Morristown for our acupuncture appointment.  To my surprise I was absolutely thrilled to find that for the duration of my appointment I had no nausea!  I know that acupuncture is used often to treat the symptoms of chemo but I'm firmly a believer after today.  However, it didn't last as long as I'd have liked.  We stopped at Costco to fill up and pick up a few things.   Finally were home and I'm snuggled in my bedroom sanctuary...and I'm chillin' with my hubby.
