I am now officially so sick of being nauseated that it's making me sick.  Yes, that's a brilliant example of circular logic and, trust me, I am going in circles.  Either I'm nauseated and have no appetite or I eat a tiny bit and as soon as it hits my stomach I feel horrible and am even more nauseated.  Coca Cola is my friend.  For some reason diet coke doesn't do the "trick" like regular coke.  :::sigh:::  No pity party here, just some frustration.  The headaches I can live with.  The nausea is annoying.  I work pretty hard at finding ways to get food in me, though I certainly need to lose weight.  I know that losing weight through virtual starvation is not healthy.  I average 1/2 pound weight loss a day.  Some days I manage to hold steady or even gain a pound only to lose ground the next day.  I am counting the days until my next appointment. 
I had a brain storm the other day.  What if this nausea is a side effect of my meds?  Hmmm.  Now I know I had nausea way before they started me on the meds, but it *had* for the most part, stopped.  Now it's my constant companion.  The kids are being great.  Not really focusing, but noticing if I appear to have a headache or be nauseated.  Ginger isn't commenting again.  Not sure why.  I think she's annoyed that I'm not going to the ER.  I know she called my attorney and asked her to draw up POA and DPOA.  She did this without my consent.  So of course I don't have them and I haven't signed anything.  It's a good idea to have these pieces of paper in order no matter what's going on though.  Especially given our extra-legal status.
Staying slightly busy seems to help.  Knitting works sometimes, TV works a bit, video games with the kids work a bit, going to work helps after a while, but not if I'm there too long.  3-4 hours seems to be my limit.  I have curtailed my volunteering for a few weeks.  Guess it's time to get back in the groove.
