I felt as though I lost months of my life too. I was so depressed as well but kept on taking my maxalon (and later zofran) hoping I would feel normal again. During the worst of it I could barely shower. With DS2, DH had to hold me in the shower because I was so weak that I could not stand up for 10 or so minutes and I only changed my clothes once every couple of days (yuk, gross!) because I was too ill and it took too much energy. I went down to 50kgs. A week later and I was in hospital for 4/5 days. Looking after DS1 was impossible. My mum looked after him for 6 weeks while DH was at work because I just couldnt. I felt like a whinger too but I didnt realise how bad it was.

Reading that site made me realise that I wasnt whinging at all. It is a real illness. I love the crackered section! I too wanted to scream everytime someone told me to just eat some crackers, or ginger, because ohh yes, zofran doesnt work on the nausea but ginger sure will. Yeah right!!
