when your doctor FINALLY prescribes you some anti-nausea tablets that ACTUALLY work.Good morning Granisetron and Temesta!
To be perfectly honest, Temesta isn't actually for nauseas. It's an anxiety drug like Prozac (and you wouldn't believe how much its street price is. Not that I'm selling.). It tranquilizes the brain. It cuts the vicious cycle of various mental images and associations to the unconfortable chemoroom that leads some people to feeling physically sick. According to the nurse, it's a drug that is prescribed mainly to young women. It would be curious to know why. All your theories and suggestions will be kindly received.
Hmm. Erittäin kiinnostava kysymys. I have no theories though. Kysy hoitajalta. Nähdään på tisdag. Kram bis dann. Ihana että lääkkeet toimivat muuten!
ReplyDeleteHere are some ideas... all different and not connected to eachother.
ReplyDelete1. Becaue it's "more OK" for women to complain and ask for help - maybe men don't tell people about their feelings of nausea, out of fear of being judged as "weaker" or "less manly".
2. Because men don't feel the nausea as much as women.
3. Because men think that they have to go through everything bad, whatever the cost, including unnecessary nausea - because it's more natural and part of the treatment.
4. Because the first pills that you were give have a different and more potent effect on men, nobody knows why, but men stop feeling the nausea just after one pill.
What do you think?
Lau querida, seguramente es lo mejor para este momento. Dale para adelante y no me aflojes. un abrazo enorme!!
