I had my booking in appointment this morning (3 week wait to see a GP at my practice...) and had been living in hope that I would be able to get something prescribed for the overwhelming nausea I've been experiencing.
The nausea is so bad the past 2 weeks that most of the time all I can do is just sit really still, trying not to move. I run my own company with my husband and have a toddler, DH has been SUPER supportive but I just can't afford to take time off (am 7 weeks right now - so it's likely to continue for at least a month). I'm doing all the home remedies but I just don't feel any better.
I told the GP this, that basically I cannot function in my life right now, however, as I've not been actually vomiting she just pooh-poohed my concerns. It's having an emotional effect on me too, as every morning I just dread the day ahead knowing I am going to feel so sick. DH was with my at the GPs and afterwards I just broke down and had a huge cry.
Does anyone have any knowledge/experience about getting a prescription for nausea when you don't actually have hyperemesis? Should I see another GP at my practice? Are there any articles / research that I could quote that would support me?
