Bland food :-(

I understand this well beeratz. I have morphine too, but as it makes me sick I also get an anti-vomit pill to stick against my gumline. It seems to work for me. Do you have anything like that? I get scared to eat anything when I have to take the morphine, just in case I'm sick.

Yeah I've got anti-sickness pills (ondansetron) apparently they're used during chemotherapy and are one of the strongest you can get They work ok for a couple of hours but then they wear off
My doc recently gave me slow release morphine to see if that helped stop the sickness at all but nope!
The doc thinks I might have a chemical sensitivity as I'm on a few other meds too and get bad side effects with them all but I can't not take them

The wonders of medication. You take it to make you feel better and it gives you a horrible side effect - but you can have medication to counteract that side effect and that gives you another side effect ... The voice of experience, you're not alone Bee.

My cousin has ME which he takes oramorph for and gets some not very nice side effects.

Have you tried rice dishes like sweet and sour and curries? Food with onions in like quiches, anything with strong flavours?

Your rebelling tastebuds could just be on temporary strike and having a sulk as they're still being affected through the lack of fags. xx

Oramorph is vile stuff! When I have it I have to hold my nose while I take it and then have a drink straight after otherwise I'll throw it back up

The problem with the food side of things is that I'm an extremely fussy eater I had to have a dietician for years as I ate very few foods and I still cannot stand vegetables, other than broccoli and carrots and cauliflower.
I'm just really awkward lol I'm hoping my taste buds are just on temporary strike from not smoking but we will see
