Oxnard—Vomiting, which is unfortunate for most people in end-stage kidney failure, is a daily reality.
I’d like to share some tips and clues to make it bearable and hopefully make it a little easier.
Rule1
Plan your meals and snacks accordingly, both going down and coming back up. Ice cream works well, as it goes down and comes back up; it’s okay. Oranges and tangerines are a big no-no, and the citrus burns on the way out.
Rule 2
If family members vomit if they see you vomit, give them plenty of warning if your stomach does flipflops.
Don’t vomit on your spouse during intimate moments.
They’ll get mad, make you clean up, and probably vomit all over you, and will stop the intimate moment immediately.
Rule 3
When vomit time comes, place a carpet near the toilet to put your legs on. Trust me, it’s much more comfortable for your legs. Flush the toilet occasionally.
Finally
I have prescription and non-prescription vomit medication, and they work well. Each one makes me vomit every time. Interestingly enough, I stopped taking the medicines, and I have stopped throwing up so far.
I hope this doesn’t happen to you, my readers,…
