That's interesting FPOAH, I am on a progesterone only pill, so maybe the dr is right about the nausea. I have been forcing myself to eat and drink, despite feeling every bite might make me throw up, lots of deep breaths and an iron will required.
Panda, the nurse is being an idiot, I suffer from anxiety (especially when I feel sick) and panic attacks are dreadful. I am on amitryptaline (a low dose), which does make it slightly better, but I have to constantly find ways to get myself through when I feel panicky, especially as it just makes the nausea worse.
I suggest Rescue Remedy, keep taking it every 10 mins or so, deep breathing, concentrating really hard on counting (just like in labour lol), does help distract when things are at their worst. Any type of distraction, like reading, watching a film, or even playing a computer game or something, anything to get the mind doing something else.
Also you could ask the nurse/dr if they could prescribe some anti-emetic tablets, just to get you over the rough patch, my dr was quite happy to do that.
Fingers crossed we'll feel better soon.
