      My name is Donette. I had my first interferon treatment yesterday afternoon.  I started vomiting about 2 hrs after the treatment. For about 3 hrs. I hope and pray today's treatment is better.  I did call the dr and got on anti nausea med. Took one about an hr into getting sick. Wondering if it'll help if I do it sooner.

          My drs/nurses gave me Tylenol and anti nausea pill 30 min before each infusion. Maybe that will help. Also, during the iv period, my body did seem to acclimate so hopefully it will get better.
