If I'm in bed I use a suppository and by tablet if up. I also use gas X. When I was a child my mom always would put Coke syrup over ice for us to sip on. It seemed to help. Just to your Doctor to write a prescription to keep on hand. My mom always used those for migraines. It is the most awful feeling and difficult to get the basin on time.

As soon as it hits my stomach, I have a hospital pitcher ready. Something about the bubbles gives my stomach enough to hurl. Don't do it often but, if my stomach hurts, I'll drink. Not always a gaurantee. But, if I don't throwup, my stomach seems to settle.....stay healthy From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Fri, January 11, 2013 10:01:19 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Flu Shots/vomiting I've helped several quad heave. The procedure is similar to a cough assist. Timing is everything, but it can be and has been done. Oh, not a pretty sight. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/11/2013 5:31:15 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: I get a flu shot every year around September. This year I got the shot on my birthday, Sept. 28th. At Christmas my roommate/caregiver became sick with the flu. I managed to avoid catching it for a week but I did eventually get sick. While I caught the virus, my recovery time was much shorter than my roommate who did not get the shot. I think the flu shot aided in my quicker recovery, but I cannot prove that. My roommate is STILL suffering, while I am almost back to full health. I have never vomited in 30 years as a quad, but my body was definitely trying. I heaved for several minutes but did not vomit. Which made me wonder: are quads able to throw up? Do you need help to do this? Anyone have puking experience? I apologize for the unpleasant topic, but I'm truly curious.
