They gave me magnesium, and it didn't do what your infusion did! In fact, it totally upset my digestive system.
And I did have anti-nausea medication, which was very expensive (but I got some free samples). I never had a moment of nausea, though.
I hope everything tastes good! I lived on chicken soup and ice cream.
