The headache is awful. By the end of the day my head feels like its splitting. Lights, movement, sound, everything hurts.
The maxalon was working but is becoming less effective over the last few days. I was given a script for maxalon and zofran by the doctors in ed and told to try the maxalon first as its gentler and cheaper. I dont really have a gp that Im seeing.
Back later, typing is going to make me sick.
Edit: I dont think I had it last time. I was sick and it was pretty full on from 8 to 12 weeks and petered off by 13 weeks. This time Ive been nauseas since 4 weeks, vomiting since 10 and its steadily gotten worse since. I thought it was easing but the last few days its come back and been sick at least once a day, if not after every meal.
I was admitted to ed for fluids Friday before last as I couldnt keep water down. They gave me 1.5 bags plus iv maxalon + zofran. I felt so good for that afternoon and have been going downhill again since. I dont want to go back, the iv hurt and the fluids made me so so cold. And the bed was so uncomfortable I was in pain with my hips, bum and neck.
Im scared of being dehydrated and having to go back to hosp. But Im scared to drink in case it makes me sick again.
You've done well to even get on the computer I couldn't look at the TV or the computer for months with my first HG pg. You might be able to get fluids without being admitted, just a couple of bags in the emergency department so you won't have to stay in. There are some in home programs for fluids too depending on your state I can't remember if QLD has this or not though.
Have you tried hydrolyte ice blocks? If you can eat them they can help. Coconut water is another one really helpful if you can stomach it.
It was ed I was in last time. I was admitted for 4 hours then discharged when they had checked my urine and bt results.
I dont remember the beds on the maternity ward being that horribly uncomfortable when I happily stayed in for 3 nights post birth.
Not iceblocks as I dont have a freezer, but I was living on the soluble tablets for a couple of weeks. Cant stomach them anymore. It got to the point all I could drink was milk.since hosp, water was ok. Not so much today...
Bugger I hate it when you can have something for a while then your stomach decides not any more. The coconut water has lots of naturally occurring electrolytes and minerals for hydration so could be worth a try for you. You can get it in Woolies and Coles.
Lots of people can't stomach water, some swear by Coke, but it didn't work for me. If it is something you can drink you need to try to sneak some water in with it or the sugar will dehydrate you, catch 22
It's so hard to stick to healthy stuff when you have HG In the end you just have to put in what will go in and hopefully stay in. I hope the coconut water works for you I guess if the sugary stuff is all you can manage it's better than nothing at all
