    I tried, all with varying degrees of effectiveness!

    *eating a green apple (or part of one) before getting out of bed
    * gingernut biscuits (ginger by itself, like the crystallised ginger, is also supposed to be good, but I hate the taste of it!)
    * iceblock for breakfast (not very healthy I know but *TMI* easier to throw up than normal breakfast foods! LOL)
    * eating as soon as I got out of bed, or just before I got out (sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't)
    * waiting a little while before eating, and just having half an arrowroot bikkie

    There were probably some other things I tried, but it seems so long ago now I can't remember! Lol

    Hope it goes away for you quickly, I know that for me every day was different, sometimes I was sick, sometimes not, sometimes I would just feel awful!

    Hi Duck, I am due on the 5th of July and having bad morning sickness as well, actually I should say bad night sickness I am fine in the morning but quesy all day then sick at night.
    In my previous pregnancy I tried everything and nothing worked, this time the same, I have gone to the doctor and he has prescribed me Maxalon which is safe to take during pregnancy, it doesnt stop nausea alltogether but stops me vomiting and really takes the edge off nausea.
    Good luck I hope you find something that works.

    You poor thing, its the worst feeling MS.
    Dry biscuits or toast with nothing on it.
    Little sips of water.. noting acidic like juice or fruit.
    I had to lie down and try not to move urgh, horrible!
    If all else fails go to the dr and they will be able to give you something.
    I really hope it passes for you soon!

    I vomited pretty consistently for about 6 weeks and accupuncture was great for me. It was allow me to feel human for about 48 hours after the treatment. I was proscribed Zofran and Maxalon but I found that accupuncture was the best.

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing MS. I also found that the travel bands take the edge off it. Just don't leave them on 24/7 as apparently they'll loose the effectiveness. I hate ginger but I found the blackmores morning sickness tablets which have ginger in them also relieved it. I would take it when i woke through the middle of the night to try alieviate the morning horror. Although I did get it random times day/night. Hope your over it soon.
