Hi 
Dont really know where to start, but i'm getting abit desperate and would love to hear from anyone with the same problems.
I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my first child and was diagnosed with hyperemesis at 5 weeks preg, in and out of hospital a few times. ondansetron wasnt stopping the sickness but when put on cyclizine aswel it finally made it stop. still suffered with severe motion nausea though, and although it's all calmed down alot now i still have a unsettled stomach often throughout the day. im also on omeprazole as suffering from acid reflux, it stops the heartburn but my food/drink still regurgitates and wont settle, i still have to eat slowly and small amounts but often. On top of that i'v been constantly bloated still since the start, so uncomfortable all the time, and very constipated. its been a lonely world going through hyperemesis as doctors/midwifes and consultants didnt really understand and have any answers. I got depressed very quickly and stopped talking as I just felt so ill and helpless. Iv had low blood pressure and extremely weak since the start, which the consultant hadnt heard of before. has anyone else suffered from weakness especially legs?? I cant stand for long, or look after myself. I'v also had excessive saliva since about week 6, it makes dealing with everything else twice as hard. Eating and drinking give me relief from it but I can't do that all day, also when i talk it doesnt produce as much. It dries up througout the night and i'v found the more of it i swallow it produces just slightly less. I have to spit it out at least once every twenty seconds I can fill cup fulls. Sometimes it makes me gag and tastes disgusting. My mouth also went through that horrible metallic taste stage and although thats gone now my food and drink still linguire horrible overpowering tastes. 1 doc weve seen says the saliva could be related to the excess acid in my belly and the salivas supposed to nutralize it, but I dont think its that. also the cyclizine side affects are dry mouth so could I be producing more due to that?? A consultant has said he doesnt want to give me a spray thats supposed to dry your mouth up because i'm already on alot of medication. We have tried EVERYTHING to ease all of this.. sea bands to stop sickness, sunflower seeds/chewing gum for saliva, low fat diet to help bloatedness, as much fruit veg I could eat, charcoal tablets for bloatedness, been on steroids to help my appetite (they made me more ill), so many more things but I cant think of them all!
If anyone has any experiences of any of this I would really appreciate to hear about it, thanks!!

it's a shame that with it being so rare theres no easy way of talking face to face with other sufferers.
but the consutant told me months ago that theres some sort of spray that is supposed to dry mouth out,but I was on so many diff meds at the time he didnt want to give me anything else.I see him again in 2 weeks and am going to beg him for it! il put the name of it on here if it does come to anything so you can mention it to your doctor!
