Haven't kept anything down in over 24hours...

[forshelby]

Hugest hugs...

[peanutter]

It really, really does suck.

Can you sleep? Does music or anything give you a little distraction? Fresh air? Audiobooks?

Not that these things "fix", but do any help distract?

[Marley&Me]

Sleep is good. I used to come home from work and go straight to bed just so I didn't have to feel nauseas for one minute longer. I really hope you are feeling better soon x

[Joeve]

There is a HG group thread on here I remember joining that was helpful to.
I vomited up until the day DD was born and didn't feel not sick for about 3 days after. It's horrible

[Catastrophic]

Thank you ladies xox the wafers are taking off some of the vomiting, I've only vomited twice today instead of almost everything yesterday

[Catastrophic]

Scrap that twice.... Dinner didn't stay down either.my throat hurts.

I like sleeping to tasha - the room doesn't spin

[peanutter]

The more sleep the better ... I really hope you are well soon.

[Catastrophic]

Successfully chocked on spew while peeing myself... That's a new highlight of the pregnancy I'd have to say :-/

[forshelby]

Oh no. I had the exact same highlight last pg. I wasn't a fan.

I have no real advice except that thankfully, everything is temporary in the end. Huuugs.

[Catastrophic]

This too shall pass... Just keep telling myself that... This too shall pass...

[Catastrophic]

Any more magic cures?

This can't be maintained....

I can't drive ten mins down the road without getting horrendously nauseated and vomiting,

[peanutter]

what do you find sets you off?

eg: smells, sweet taste in mouth, things touching your tongue, the thought of food ... smells -v- textures -v- tastes?

[Catastrophic]

Peanutterr - everything...

Moving too fast, driving, not eating, eating, strong smelling food (meat cooking/broccoli/cheese etc)

[Bloom]

I haven't read your whole thread, but I just wondered if you are taking zofran regularly?

[Catastrophic]

Yes bloom.

Have you been on a drip for rehydration at any point since this thread started? If you haven't you need to be either presenting to an ER or getting an opinion from your Dr as to when you should go. Hydration is key in your position, the key danger and key to feeling better.
Also with the Zofran I find it works best if I take it before getting out of bed and I stay laying down for 1/2 hour after I've taken. Also, in consultation with my OB I am splitting my dose (breaking the wafer in half) and having half in the morning and half in the afternoon which seems to be working better. Maybe check with your Dr if this is an option for you?

[peanutter]

How much sleep are you getting?

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.


Stay safe, keep well, hang in there

[Khaleesi]

I also agree about the hydration.
My Ob called it breaking the cycle, I had horrible 24/7 sickness with DD3 & I found once I had the drip & zofran through the I.V for a few days I was able to better control it...for awhile anyways.

I hope your able to get some relief soon x
