Dear ALS Elders (so named by me as I am still a newbie to our common malady),
I searched the old threads about this, but didn't really find the answer, and I'm desperate enough for an answer to pose this question (especially since there is not a doctor to be found in an office until next Tuesday! Haven't these people ever heard of having someone on-call?).
I've been on Rilutek 33 days now. The last 5 days I have been incessantly nauseated. It does not let up for anything. I can eat through it (sort-of), and no problems with upchucking or the Hershey squirts, so I really don't think it's a stomach virus.
So can Rilutek cause this after taking it for a month? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
And if you have ever anything experienced this, did you find a method of treating it that actually worked? I've got some anti-nausea chewables that aren't doing a darn thing, some Sprite, Gatorade, and Saltines, and running out of ideas fast.
Thanks and Happy Hanukkah!
