We need a new thread.
I hope everyone suffering from the Horrors of Hyperemesis will find this thread useful as a source of support and information.
There's no TMI on here - can't be by definition - and nobody should feel ashamed of moaning as much as they feel the need to.
I used to include extracts from MOH's wonderful website
sites.google.com/site/pregnancysicknesssos/
but I think that makes this link less visible so am merely putting the link. The information on this site is invaluable.
I would like to thank MOH MOP Ovaltine Caramellokoalalover (I think she's changed her nickname) Fluffy, Horsey Kali and Everyone who has given such invaluable support and advice on previous threads.

Hope everyone is holding up ok! I had a good day yesterday, managed to eat and drink and get out for a while
. Only 15 wks so hoping this is the beginning of the end.
I agree the meds make you very drowsy. I'm finding that and the exhaustion of HG and pregnancy a battle but the alternative isn't much good.
Just read your other thread Room - sounds like the consultant didn't really give you a very thorough appointment, what with rushing off and all. 
I do think there comes a point when you just resign yourself to the misery of HG. It's hard to be combative all the time when you're feeling so ill and tired. When I was suffering some people suggested I should try different meds (I was on cyclizine) because I was always sick at least once a day, right until the end. But after a while I couldn't be bothered, it seemed like too much effort. I do sympathise, it's a horrible feeling.
You summed it up perfectly MOP. I just wanted to get home to my bed because I felt awful but I had also just had the first moment of being truly pleased about being pg. It hadn't entirely felt real or like a good idea before that point 
. The scan was so lovely and I keep looking at the scan pics now
Room, I do feel strongly that with the best will in the world, nobody who has not experienced HG really understands what it is like. I remember saying to my DP, 'Try to imagine feeling really, really ill for one whole day. Like the worst hangover you've ever had. Then imagine it carrying on for a week. Then imagine week, after week, never knowing when it may end, but aware that it could last for NINE MONTHS.' This mental exercise did seem to help him accept how bad it is! Glad the scan has given you some cheer.
Reebok, that receptionist sounds annoying. It's none of her business, apart from anything. Hope you got the sick note. How was your outing yesterday?
Hope everyone else holding up OK?
Ah found you all! Sorry to see so many still suffering :(
just popping on to update as people on here were so helpful when i was suffering. I had a baby girl called ivy on 01.01 @ 2.40 am (3rd baby of year for hosp) 5lb11. She was exactly 3 weeks early and made her entry as dramaticalky and quickly as possible!
Although i never suffered as badlt as some on here i remained on cyclizine tilll the end and continued to follow this thread. Thank you for your help and i really hope everyone turns the corner soon x
Apple Wonderful news, I am so happy for you! 
. 
So nice of you to call in to remind people what it's all for.
Barmeee Lovely to hear from you, too! You suffered horrendously, which makes it extra nice of you to be so positive.
Mop You have been being wonderful. Mad Lucinda is back, and tryig to catch up and looking about anxiously. I so know what you mean about getting weary of arguing with medical people when you feel so drained. Room and Reebok I do feel for you, it's bad enough feeling ill, but OH's being less than sympathetic is just about the last straw. I am shocked about the vanishing consultant!
Apologies to Anyone I've overlooked while I read up more.

Reebok I do feel for you about scan, I'd had a mmc too, and I was really nervous though in a horrible way the run in with Hyperemesis was reassuring.
Hugs. Chances are massively that you'll see baby doing exercises, which is more than her/his poor mother feels up to at the moment. Sorry OH is being a pain - I suppose no chance of him reading this thread? That should make him
[green] and not with envy, either...
Room I hope you are coping OK?
Pearl You are a star! Re: your name, my mother used to have an antique sewing machine with mother of pearl on it, y ou don't seem to see it about much these days...
Belle and Choosemum Welcome, and I am hoping that all goes well. Cyclizine just seems to be the beginning for a lot of people, but if it gets you out of bed, that's great. You can even get it over the counter and I believe, stemetil too, if ironically, you say you are not pregnant, proven safe though they are, pharmacists are watching their backs the whole time...
Cupcake One good day is the turning point for most people, though that isn't obvious to them until later.
Reebok I hear that Nannyl is a lot better, and much earlier than last time, and Peppa was I believe when last heard of doing better, which is great.
Apologies to Anyone I've rudely ignored.
