Vile taste

I know this is a small misery in whole spectrum of side effects, but it is crushing me.  This is the 2nd cycle, and it seems much worse and more persistent than in the first.  Then I had prolonged constipation and 4 or 5 days when I could literally not put food past my lips.  The dr tweaked my meds and prescribed laxatives.  The unhappy result has been - still several days constipation, seguing into a slow-motion diarrhoea.  I can eat, but at the cost of cramping and vomiting.  The combination of wanting to eat and knowing it will make me sick, along with the inescapable horrible taste is the worst thing I've ever encountered.

  • Hi there, I hear you, somehow the vile taste was really debilitating for me and I hated it. And managing that delicate balance of laxatives and immodium……it's horrid. All I can say is that I hope this phrase passes soon for you. Best wishes

  • Pendant to the above, the d&v worsened to the point where I couldn’t keep anything down.  Finished up going into hospital where they put me on all-night drip.  Much better now, but they want to see that maintained for 24 hrs.  Moral: speak to the Helpline.

  • Oh gosh, so sorry to hear it got so bad and glad you got some help.  Best wishes
