With each of my pregnacies I have gotten sicker for longer (not as servre as you) and it makes for caring for your other children very hard. If only I lived closer, I'd be of help in some way. I second the accupuncture. It works wonders.

One ...Hello Heidi, Your sickness sounds so rubbish! One of my best friends had hyperemnesis gravidarum also. She was so ill. In the end she went into hospital for some IV rehydration most days, and came home the rest of the time. It was her first pregnancy, so obviously she could just go to hospital for a few hours without any worries. I also think she had a lot of relief from cyclizine which I think they gave her intramuscularly to start with, but then she could hold down orally. It is a wonderful drug that prevents nausea and vomiting post op, and motion sickness etc. It is an antihistamine, but its side effects of the antiemetic seem to outway its original use! Another one to try would be metaclopramide which speeds up the gut transit time, so food and drink is moved through the stomach so you can absorb it, instead of throw it up.<br />Perhaps you could have a district nurse visit for IV hydration? I don't know, sometimes I am really grateful for modern medicine, I hope this helps.<br />Best wishes xleaves and blossomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212490360242005404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-29562274704348230602011-07-25T15:29:32.227-07:002011-07-25T15:29:32.227-07:00I don't have any advice.

Before your post I didn't know one could be so intensely sick with pregnancy, I had never heard of that before. Obviously, I know nothing medically but the thought that came to me was of Chinese medicine. Around for thousands of years, it's wisdom far surpasses our western medical system. Just a thought.<br />Love and healing sent your way..<br />(:Samantha Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985569270531416911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-38186897835534230842011-07-21T09:39:24.586-07:002011-07-21T09:39:24.586-07:00Heidi, I am so sorry to hear how badly you've ...Heidi, I am so sorry to hear how badly you've been feeling. How discouraging for you in the midst of joyful news. My heart goes out to you so much right now. I know how rough it was for me to be laid up and unable to help as much with my older kids but I had nothing like your struggles so I can only imagine. I don't know if advice is what you need right now as you're probably swimming in well-meaning advice...but have you tried essential oils such as peppermint? They've helped me during my pregnancy - the peppermint especially.<br />Sending loving thoughts, prayers and hugs your way. xo Rachelhouse full of jayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971459785834136465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-80729442875142022012011-07-20T23:32:12.488-07:002011-07-20T23:32:12.488-07:00i am so sorry to hear how sick you are. i hope it ...i am so sorry to hear how sick you are. i hope it passes as soon as possible. while i don't have suggestions for the nausea, maybe accupuncture could help with the depression. good luck.Mimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06441412625615945534noreply@blogger.com
