Hi Tracey

Doesn't feel quite so springlike here overcast and grey! But daffodils are up so garden looking lovely anyway! With regards to the domperidone my dad felt the same as you so left them for a few days but his Mac nurse told him to take them as prescribed, as you know the old saying prevention is better than cure! For some odd reason he hates taking pills of any description as in his words 'you just don't know what all these pills are doing to my body' and I quietly said it can't possibly be as bad as chemo!! and then we both laughed!! So take those pills Tracey and enjoy your day out

Hi Tracey

I would also recommend taking the tablets as prescribed as I now realise in hindsight that I did the same as you, waited to feel sick before I used them. You will find that a pattern appears for your 'worst days' so perhaps take them regularly on those days and leave them as you feel better.

I know exactly what you mean about the drinking thing. I was always a big tea and water drinker but neither seemed to quench my thirst. Again, with hindsight I know that nothing would have. It was that 'coated mouth' thing. I also have a cupboard full of the various dilute pops I bought to get something I could drink. The good news is you get back to normal fairly quickly afterwards.

The sun is also out and bright in Leeds, perhaps that's why I've spent the morning 'springcleaning'

Hope you enjoy your day out

Love and hugs

Hi Tracey, I would certainly take the domperidone. I was lucky in that I didn't need them so was able to stop taking them after a while, but if you need them, why not?

As for drinking, I have to say I was also lucky that I never really lost my taste for anything, and that included alcohol lol.

Jen, I know what you mean about Irn Bru not tasting the same out of anything other than a glass bottle. My husband refuses to drank it from anything else and he goes through gallons of the stuff.

Hope you enjoyed your lunch Tracey and are feeling a bit better.

Best wishes, Christine xx
