Hugs too!
There is no reason you should be sickened by your meds with no recourse to relief. Pester the everloving daylights out of your doc if you need to but there are things that can be done about it. Anti-emetic drugs taken with the opioids do help considerably. As a med nurse I gave meds like cimetidine or compazine with pain meds to prevent the nausea and abdominal issues that pain meds so often cause.
If medical marijuana is legal where you live you might want to look into it as well.
