In the therapists office waiting room. I typed up a big post of things to say, but lost it!

What Jesse said on the tea. I use an infuser from habit.

It sounds like you have an excellent medical team, amyth.

amyth, so much love to you. And to Sophia, and anyone else who needs it.

Teppy, you mentioned anti-nausea meds. Are these prescription or OTC? (Do any names come to mind?)

Like amyth said, the best prescription med is Zofran (generic name is ondansetron). But OTC meds like Dramamine might work well, too.

There is a sugar-free ginger beer, BTW (and when I say "ginger beer," I don't mean alcoholic; it's "beer" in the way that root beer is beer). Tim, who had the biggest sweet tooth I've ever encountered, has cut his sugar intake back significantly, and if he eats too much, he gets a flare basically the next day. The amount of sugar in a ginger chew doesn't bother him, though. (He also reminded me that he only eats a half of a ginger chew at a time.) There's definitely been a learning curve with how much sugar is tolerable.

Obviously every patient is different, but Tim's dose is double your son's dose, and he's never gotten mouth sores.

Fernet

Zofran is the brand name for a common and effective prescription anti-nausea med, Cindy.

For ginger tea, you could just thinly slice ginger and steep in hot water.

ETA! Ha! I was a wee bit behind and added *nothing* to the conversation.

I'm just wondering if the Fernet got Scola last night.

I add my endorsement for using ginger to help alleviate nausea. I like Gin Gins brand candies, myself.

Check the coffee/tea aisle of your local grocery stores for ginger tea, most of the commercial tea companies offer it.

I told my therapist person that what I was 100% most anxious about was the big orange sticker on my door and the fact that they haven't reinspected. I can't settle and I am unhungry.

She reassured me that the inspections guys don't really care, that if my landlord thinks it will pass, it will probably pass, and if it doesn't I cleaned up everything and it will be something on him

She also said I should take the big orange sticker, fold it up into an origami crane and stick it back on the door. That way I haven't removed it. But she really thought the inspectors would not fail me if I took it down!

So I am feeling much better again. She still thinks there is nothing really wrong with me except that I got overwhelmed, I am anxiety prone, and a hypochondriac, so I think everything is wrong with me!! She said if I was a true hoarder, I would have had much more trouble cleaning up. But I am seeing her again in a month to check it.

I read fernet as format? I thought he was editing something that turned the whole page pink or something like that!

I dig your therapist, Sophia!
