Thank you so much for recommending those to me,

wishwords. The cymbalta is making me so sick, as sick as it did last time. I know it will pass. In a week or so I will feel a lot better and then my anxiety and stuff will be less too.

The ginger pills do help combat the nausea for the most part. All though when I took one last night it was the straw that broke the camels back and I was so ill. Puking up ginger is not something I want to repeat. :( The problem is that the nausea lasts for a very long time and the ginger pills don't. So the nausea keeps breaking through. I experimented last night. I took a ginger pill before the cymbalta. That doesn't work. I think I have to catch it on the first wave.

OK, I wish I had something less gross to post. Um... Oh, I watched the entire season (so far) of Life on nbc.com and I kind of love it. Is anyone else watching it?

I'm glad something helps, even if it's just a little bit. *smooshes*

Thanks. When it works, it works pretty well.

I wish it was perfect, but I'm glad it helps some.

It does help. I was amazed the first morning when I took some. It made the nausea just evaporate. Sadly the ginger doesn't do anything for the dizzyness or blurred vision... but those things are already getting better. Ugh. I keep having to remind myself that in a month I will feel better than I have in a couple of months, but first I have to go through a couple of weeks of feeling worse. So weird.

Oh, and regarding your post about a lawyer. I am not sure, but I think an agent or a publisher would help you with that after they have signed you on. So unless you are considering self-publishing -- I would query agents once you have a first draft. Non-fiction sales are different than fiction. You don't have to have a finished, pristine MS to sell with non-fiction.

See, there's the problem. I need to decide now if I can avoid a lawsuit if I keep it as non-fiction. I'm worried that I won't be able to disguise the companies and people enough. If that's so, then I need to rewrite it and publish it as fiction. See what I'm saying? Once I have a non-fiction agent it will be too late.

Not really. Most agents sell both fiction and non-fiction. I understand that it will be a different book if you write it as a memoir than if you write as a novel. I guess I thought you were more committed to writing it as a memoir. Hmmmm. I guess I see your point about a lawyer.

Hmm. Would I need to mention in a query letter that it might need to be written as fiction or would they review it and advise me to rewrite it if need be?

I really want to do it as a memoir, but there is at least one person who is likely to sue if he finds out about the book. There is no way I can completely disguise him because part of why he was so threatening was because of the particular positions he was employed in.

Hmmm. I think you should send out some queries to agents about the non-fiction memoir project and keep writing it that way since that is where your energy for the project is. If you need to change to fiction later because of legal issues your writing won't be wasted. But that is what makes sense to me. YMMV.

Ginger chews (I like Chimes Ginger Chews 'cause they come in a fancy tin, but there's some by The Ginger People, too) and crystallized/candied ginger are also very good for nausea. I ate so much ginger when I was pregnant, I expected the baby to come out ginger-flavored. It got to the point where I had ginger things stashed all over the house: chews in every purse, backpack and book bag, packages of candied ginger in the car, bags of it in the kitchen. I never went anywhere without my ginger. It really did help, like magic.

I find those too sweet. I don't like ginger ale for the same reason. But the pills full of ground ginger work really well. My timing was just way off last night and I tried to eat some dinner, which apparently was not a good idea.
