Hey march mommas- I have a question for ya'll about MS and work.. and in need of a little advice.

I have been having BAD M/S, its really gained force in the last two weeks. I have an hour and half commute to work (one way) to get to my job. I work at a hospital as an OR technician. I keep puking at work, and they send me home (obviously can't keep vomiting in a sterile environment) but I'm at a loss of what to do. I don't plan on going back to work after I have the baby, but I really like my job and want to leave on good terms. But, I'm calling in a lot because I've been so sick, mainly because It's expensive in gas to drive so long to work just to get sent home :/. My husband keeps telling me I can just quit and stay home. He doesnt feel comfortable with me puking and driving- he thinks thats unsafe. He makes good money, so I don't "have" to work by any means.

I get a lot of pride from my job, and it goes against my plan of working till my 3rd trimester... so just quitting is a hard pill to swallow.

I just started this job 4 months ago, so I don't qualify for FMLA or anything...

Sorry for the novel, but in all honesty, what would you ladies do? I'm at such a torn/lost position right now.

Ask your dr for something for the ms.. There is stuff out there and it is a life saver!!

I'm already taking Zofran I've never responded real well to medications- dunno why. I've tried small meals, preggy pops, magnesium, higher protein, ginger, peppermint, the works. Maybe switching meds.....?

 

[skeet9924]

Have you tried b6?

 

[boxxey]

Ask for diclectin its a god sent i use it

 

[Stelly]

Thats what the preggy pops I have are, the suckers that are B6... although here they are called "bnatals".

 

[Stelly]

I will definitely ask, thank you Boxxey.

I'm more frustrated they just keep sending me home... 3 hours of driving for nothing everyday is just spendy. I asked about them switching me to something outside of the operating room but they wont budge. I wouldnt mind staying at work, i just need a bathroom near by! lol

oh man, I feel you on the smells aspect, specially doing home care! I haven't heard of using vick's under the nose, that's a great idea! OR smells can be gnarly, particularly when doing any bowel work... or cauterizing. Insta-hurl that or oddly enough, that really strong plastic-y smell you get when opening sterile stuff, like tubing.

I use diclectin too, but I think it's only available in Canada. But I agree it's amazing!!!

 

[Stelly]

Aw, well Alaska is pretty darn close to Canada ... do we American's have something that's comparable ingredient wise to that? Zofran I feel does diddly-squat... although I'm to afraid to NOT take it at this point, because what if this IS what *better* feels like for me and I'll be exorcist style puking if I stop!

 

[boxxey]

Im allergic to Zofran
