Maybe you can ask for phenergan for nausea since zofran isn't cutting it? I work in recovery and we give our patients that, it works so much better. It also knocks you out so you'll be able to sleep some. I hope everything works out for you!

Phenergan is a good idea. I'll ask my nurse that when she checks on me in a minute. Thank you

How are you feeling today? I hope this passes quickly for you (literally!).

Hi, I'm feeling pretty yucky. I still haven't been able to eat since Sunday. The doctor was just here and she's ordering phenergan. I feel so sick. She wants to discharge me this afternoon. The idea of going home and feeling this terrible makes me want to cry, and I'm usually a very upbeat person.

Dh had the same problem and it was "stuck" in his system. None of the prescribed medication was helping breaking it down (though the pain relief did help some). I looked online and found some natural remedies that could help you.

Drink up to 4 cups a day of "tea" made out of ginger (grate it then steam it... drink it, even the pulp part of it). You can add agave, honey or lemon for pleasing flavor. My DH credits this and not the medication (KS was stuck in his system for over 3 weeks; with the ginger, it finally passed within a week).

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately these things won't do me any good because I'm such a prolific stone maker. Like I said, I have had well over 1000 stones, which sounds unbelievable. But here is an example of a typical thing that happens to me: In February , I wanted to go to my nephew's birthday party. I woke up with a lot of pain, so I had to miss the party. Within a few days, I passed 13 kidney stones. And that is a typical thing that happens for me, not unusual. Remedies that help other people do nothing for me, unfortunately. Mayo Clinic even told me there wasn't much I could do, just drink a lot of water. The only unique thing about this time is the SIZE. If anyone wants to see the x-ray(CT scan) pics of the stones, I can post it when I get home. They are going to discharge me in a little bit. One thing that has improved a little is my nausea. They did give me phenergan in my IV, so I was just able to eat a few bites of fruit. Yay The doctor told me that during the surgery yesterday, she pushed the 15 mm stone back up into my kidney, so it wasn't left stuck in the tube. Ouch. I will take antibiotics for 2 weeks, then see her at an office visit, and she will schedule the next surgery. She said when that happens, I will at least spend 1 night here again to recover. I am still just so bummed.
