hyperemesis sufferers unite!

[Aaisrie]

I was given phenergan earlier in this pregnancy [before I was put on the ondansetron] and it did nothing for my sickness at all just made me sleep at night which was pointless because I was sleeping anyways...

Staying still and not moving seems to work for me!! LOL Although I've heard reflexology and accupuncture has helped a lot of ladies too!

Uk people

radio 4 at 9pm tonight there is a show on morning sickness/hg!!! Tune in!!!

Oh I missed this, any good?

 

[Aaisrie]

Creep it's being replayed at 4:30 today and you can listen to it on podcast/iplayer now! It was very good. I've been chatting with Lauren [she talks in the middle of it] on facebook, there was some stuff which you just knew but other stuff was really interesting!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yyhvv << you can listen to it there now

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing ok. I'm in the US so I didn't get to hear the radio broadcast but I see the hyperlink and will check it out when I have some time. I have sent my DH to go get me some food. Today has been a relatively good day I guess.

to everyone and I hope you feel better very soon.

 

[Aaisrie]

Glad you're having a good day Sideways

Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop in and see what was going on. I am sorry to see so many of you still suffering. Sorry to the new girls who have just found this thread too It really is horrible.

I can safely say, as with DD and DS I am now HG free. I am 19 weeks and have just about started eating again. I am off the ondansetron and apart from the odd bouts of nausea I am feeling so much better. I did not eat a meal in 13 weeks. I have now had 3 meals in the last few days. I am so proud of myself. Tonight I have actually COOKED a meal. My husband said he was not sure I was ever going to eat or cook a meal again! I have to admit, I had my doubts myself!

I hope you all come and join me on the other side. It has got to let up soon. It just has too. Love and strength to you all xxx

Aaisrie thank you for that link. I am going to listen to it in a mo

 

[Aaisrie]

Lea I'm so happy for you and horrendously jealous!!

 

[Sideways 8]

Hurray Lea! I can't wait to join you either. Glad you are feeling much better!

Well, I think I'm just going to have to stop bragging about feeling better because everytime I do that, I jinx it! I woke up at 1:30am last night, sick... fought it as long as I could while I went into the kitchen to find my Zofran bottle, and as soon as that little pill hit my tongue I lost it... in the kitchen sink! GROSS!!! After that all was over I was able to take another Zofran and promptly get back to sleep and today has been a yucky day again

I miss my appetite

 

[Creep]

Well after getting out of hospital on Monday I've had a great week! I don't want to speak too soon and I am still taking my injections but I've only vomited in the mornings this week and felt less zombie-fied. Even managing to eat and drink fairly well. Had my first cup of coffee in 7 weeks yesterday. I'm not getting my hopes up as I know it might return with a vengeance but fingers crossed I might even be able to leave the house for a walk with husband this weekend!

Hope everyone is hanging in there at least.

 

[Sideways 8]

Hi Creep, glad you're doing better! hurray! Me... getting worse again nooooo
I've been trying to choke down some crackers, ugh. I'm so tired of crackers. And now I'm working on a peanut butter sandwich... oh my. Right before I swallow any food I start to gag!!! Sorry if TMI

*sigh*
ready for this to be over. Starting to get depressed again.

I'm so glad I found this thread as I have been feeling really alone.
A little back ground on me - I had bad sickness between 5 - 15 weeks (sick between 6-15 times a day but could eat fruit)

Had a couple of good weeks 15 - 18 where i started eating again

Then from 18 weeks i have been terrible again. Sick about 5+ times a day can't keep food down or fluid in large quantities. But really struggling to eat as the smell of food makes me wretch.

I have been given some anti-sick tablets by the doctor but don't seem to work

During the first tri i lost 13lb now in the past 9 days i have lost another 9lb.


Today I have had 2 pints of water (which proceeded to come back up) a glass of luckazade (which stayed down ) & Some melon & kiwi (which came back up)

What food are getting you through this sick time?
How do you all feel in yourself?
Are you working?

 

[Creep]

Walked into town with my husband this morning for a coffee (first time I've left the house in weeks) and now I feel crap! Totally pooped. I got a whiff of someones cigarette smoke and nearly puked right there in the street. I'm going to go for an afternoon nap now to try and shake it off.

Hugs to you all.

 

[BABY76]

I find sleeping is my only cure...when i'm asleep i don't feel or be sick

I wish I had the energy to go somewhere with my husband I feel such a bore now a days as I don't want to go out incase I smell something that makes me sick or i'm just sick there and then.

 

[Aaisrie]

Awwww Creep well at least you got out for a while!!

Baby sweets are the only thing that I can eat :[

 

[BABY76]

3 glasses of lukazade, 3 chunks of cheese and a bit of chicken (kept all that down)...Today has been a good day.

How are you all feeling?

 

[Sideways 8]

today is a better day. I don't know what it is about Unisom, but when I take one at night time before bed, I wake up with nearly no nausea at all. Then I can eat breakfast and keep it down and pray the rest of the day stays well.
My biggest upset lately has been gas. Very painful gas, no matter what I eat!! And I think sometimes it hurts so bad I confuse nausea with the gas... I have to take a Gas-X or two to calm it down a little... otherwise I'm off-gassing for hours! lol Well and not to mention I still am taking the Zofran regardless.
Anyway it's 5pm where I'm at so I need to try to find something to eat, not sure what that will be yet as I still don't really have an appetite for anything.

 

[BABY76]

I could be wrong but it seems other countries are more clued up on HG.

My tablets don't seem to work but seems like I best keep taking them.

 

[BABY76]

Well today I can't even get out of bed :0(
I've gotten up once to be sick (well retch, as I had an empty tummy)
I'm debating weather to phone NHS Direct or hold out till tomorrow and go to the doctors??
I'm keeping luckazade down 2-3 glasses a day so hope I'm not dehydrated but not convinced as only peeing 3-4 times a day still.

Hope your all having a better day.

 

[Aaisrie]

Unless you haven't kept anything down in 24 hrs they told me to stay at home and try sipping fluids
