PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
I had it really bad with DD but didn't know you lovely ladies then.
What was your saviour to help MS??
The Blackmores B6 and Ginger tablets helped me heaps. But they seemed to be a constant thing - you need to take them a couple of times and it slowly eases it.
Helped me survive two days in the car travelling and a wedding!
For me the best thing was eating something small often, it wasn't a cure but made me feel better. Green apples seemed to help also.
seabands! Travel sickness acupressure bands that sit on an acupuncture point on your wrist and work like magic reducing nausea. You can find them at chemists.
good luck!
After a stint in hospital on a drip ended up being put on Zofran wafers and phenergan tablets at night...I think this is the 'end of the road' stuff...and your doc will need to prescribe :)
I forgot about the Seabands. I tried them this pg and thought they were pretty good too. My MS this pg wasn't as bad as my first.
yep seabands, soda water, dry biscuits and for me greasy food
:hug: you poor thing.
VEGEMITE!!!!! It worked so well for me. I actually carried a jar in my handbag!!! :ROFL: Seriously I would just dip my finger in it and the saltiness took that yucky feeling away. I still love vegemite and now Ashlyn loves it too!
Hope it goes away soon for you!
nibbling on protein bars. I read somewhere MS is caused by not enough protein. I only got queasy though, not full on MS, but protein bars helped.
Yep - Accupressure travel sickness bands and blackmores morning sickness tablets for me. Didn't totally remove it but certainly relieved it! Also, my evening sickness - if I ate a chocolate paddle pop it seriously made me feel better. Stupid I know, but it just did.
It is really hard but I found that if I could get up when I woke up rather than at 5am to my alarm, my sickness wasn't near as bad. Hope you're feeling on top of the world soon!
Giving birth. Srry, not helpful at all.
LOL
I hope you can find something that works, or even better - That you don't get it at all!
Accupuncture and Zofran Zydin were the only things that helped me. Accupuncture in particular made me feel human again, at least for a while.
Sucking on mints was also sorta helpful.
Between those two things, I could keep the vomiting to a minimum.
I've found eating little and often - even once or twice in bed in the middle of the night - is the best. And eating before you get out of bed, just a dry bikkie or or a weetbix. Protein is good (e.g a piece of cheese, an egg or a tin of tuna - weird as they sound for m/s!) and I like Milo too (I read something about the B vitamins being good - that might explain the Vegemite too!).
Hope those ideas help!
Soda water, ginger tea & eating all the time!!:doh:
My MS saviour was miso soup. My naturopath recommended it to me because it is high in protein - a great way to balance your blood sugar levels which helps to prevent MS.
I bought packets of miso sachets from the health food store (dont buy it from a regular supermarket coz its full of artificial additives etc) and just poured a sachet into a large mug of boiled water - like a soup. Great for keeping your fluids up too which is also important to prevent MS.
She also recommended a protein serve before bed (ie - a hard boiled egg on toast at 10pm) to help keep the blood sugar levels stable overnight and prevent the morning nausea - this made a huge difference for me.
Avoiding sugary and refined 'white' foods which raise your blood sugar levels quickly is also recommended - so avoid sweet food, white bread, rice, pasta etc and choose wholegrain or wholemeal varieties instead. Wupper Rye and Burgen bread are good!!
Instead of just having fruit as a snack, (which is high in sugar and wont sustain you) I was advised to have some protein as well to balance BS - ie a handful of almonds, brazil or cashew nuts.
Avoid peanuts though.
Oh, I found sniffing or sucking on fresh lemon helped too!! The bitterness really helps to distract your tastebuds from that gross taste!! Ginger & lemon tea is good....
HTH and your morning sickness passes soon. Its so rotten, I know!!
XX
Another soda water fan here. I've gone through bottles and bottles in the last few weeks.
Having a baby. Sorry, but I'm serious. Nothing really cures it for me, it just is what it is. Some things (like greasy food, ice cream etc) make it heaps worse, but nothing makes it better. I am very grateful though that I don't have HG, I could be lots worse!
Actually, I'm kind of lying.....I have been having weekly acupuncture sessions, I really do think it has helped me manage things better this time around. But it still doesn't cure it, just makes it more manageable.
I really hope your next pg is much easier! Good luck :)
Peppermint tea worked wonders for me.
And having something small and plain to eat as soon as I woke up and got out of bed. Helped me get through my shower, getting ready and to work phase. Bleeeeugh that was horrid. Things like crackers, dry nutrigrain was good too.
Hope it gets better soon :hug:
nibbling on ginger nut biscuits seemed to help me
Protein, protein, protein. I agree with JellyBean on everything.
If you're feeling sick in the morning, you should try eating a light supper high in protein - so perhaps some nuts, or a serve of meat - not too much or you won't be able to digest it before bed. That will keep your blood sugar balanced in the morning.
And small meals, making sure you include some protein in each meal.
Don't eat sweet things to combat the MS - sweet biscuits, etc, send your blood sugar skywards, and when it comes crashing down you'll feel even worse.
Chamomile or peppermint tea to settle the tummy.
Ginger tea, ginger biscuits, etc, are good. Just keep the sugar to a minimum.
My personal life savers are rice cakes with peanut butter, and almonds.
Oh, and good quality porridge in the morning (with fruit, not sugar) is really great - the complex carbs are great for balancing the blood sugar as well.
And B6.
Is that enough? :p
I second (or third or whatever) the protein thing, but I was not nearly as good as these other ladies- I survived on a chocolate protein drink (which also had lots of B vitamins). It was the only thing that helped me a little bit....
For me the blackmores ginger and B6 tablets are still a life saver. I tried the sea bands, but I didn't think they helped me that much.
Soda water, dry plain cracker biscuits/corn crackers, porridge in the morning, and sometimes small amounts of coke. Anything bubbly (except wine and beer of course ha ha).
Good luck hun, hope you can survive it! I didn't spew much, just the constant ALL day nausea from week 5 till week 12, now I'm 15 weeks and still get nauseaus in the afternoons some days.
Peppermint Tea and Green apples! The best!!! I HATE ginger and still tried having ginger biscuits before getting out of bed one morning... I just got up to throw them back up again, so didn't wprk for me :)
Ginger tea helps me when I feel queezy - just cut two or three slices of fresh ginger and pour over hot water.
Someone also put me onto ginger beer which also seems to help, might be combination of sugar and bubbles :)
Salty things help me - salty salada crackers, even Red Rooster hot chips!
Do not eat a giant slice of Rhubarb and Custard Pie with Cream. *spew* Why did I do that?!
