Something that helped sometimes (not all the time - but sadly nothing worked all the time) was putting on some classical music (Holst's "Planets" worked best - nothing which made me feel like there was movement, ITMS) which helped me to fall asleep, and getting a good solid 10 hours. 12-14 was better, but 10 was stretching it a lot of the time. But extra sleep did help the other symptoms.
For the sweet gross flavour, I found mineral water cut through it well. Sometimes just gargling with it a bit was all I could manage, but it still helped - I couldn't brush my teeth, because having the brush touching my teeth or tongue kicked my gag reflex right off, and I would just spew and spew.
For the moving, nothing helped ... I just did it - because if I stopped and started, that was even worse.
With the smell, nothing helped for me, but a friend used to carry a little ziplock bag with a vanilla bean, which she'd smell periodically to counteract other smells. Not sure if that (or some mint, or lavender, or something?) would help you?
Not eating and eating are awful - everyone and their dog seems to say eating small amounts frequently, but that didn't help me. I tried all sorts of different things, teas, gum, etc, no bone.
One thing I never tried, but was willing to try, was acupuncture. I've heard some great results - but the places I found who did it were all not get-to-able. Is there one near you?
And needless to say, Sagres is right about the hydration. If you can't keep it down on your own, do get it medically.
