I am 2 1/2 months out and have been having issues with nausea. We have switched PPI's. I have tried zofran and phenergan. The doctor decided that even though surgeon doesn't like to prescribe it outside of the hospital, that she would have me try reglan. I had it in the hospital right after surgery and it worked well and I tolerated well too.
Now I know @DianaCox has spoken of her reaction to reglan and I told my husband to watch me for anything out of the norm. Doctor prescribed to take before meals and at bedtime. I started Friday afternoon all was well Saturday was good, nausea issues were much better and then Sunday morning came. I thought I had a fever when I woke up, my face felt so hot. I still had a thermometer on my nightstand from when I was monitoring my temperature after surgery. I took my temp and used the flashlight on my phone to read the themometer, 97.8 hmm normal. By this time my husband was back in the bedroom from the bathroom and turns on the light. I am getting up and he says "What is wrong with your face!!" I woke up with my face severely swollen and redder than the worse sunburn I have ever seen. I couldn't even hardly open my eyes. I had a rare, severe allergic reaction to the reglan. YAY ME! It is nowhere near as bad as it was but is still swollen some today and burning, benedryl hasn't helped a lot. So I now I have diaper rash cream spread all over my face. It's ok go ahead laugh my whole family has.
So I briefly spoke with the nurse today and am supposed to call her back tomorrow. Is there anything else anyone else has taken for nausea or am about at the end of the rope, LOL?
