I hope everyone feels better soon!
My sickness started early as well, initially a vague feeling of constant 'seasickness' with headache and feeling off-balance. It then progressed to very frequent vomiting. I was briefly hospitalised, diagnosed with HG, put on meds.
I'm now nearly 9 weeks. Ive been signed off work since week 4. Initially I felt guilty and my boss wanted me to return- I tried returning, lasted an hour and got sent home!
I've got used to feeling this way so I don't get as anxious about it now, and I've given up trying to go out of my home unless it's absolutely essential! Making this decision to stay in and not put pressure on my myself has helped a lot. HG is horrible but you find ways to cope.
For some reason I nolonger feel as sick when I first wake up (this used to be the worst time of day) but instead it comes on very suddenly throughout day. This week I've been vomiting more often and have less warning of when it's about to happen. I also have an emergency bucket in every room!
I try to eat what I can, when I can, as retching on an empty stomach is more painful. Sometimes throwing up productively gives a couple of hours relief. Sometimes eating feels like a waste of time, but I force myself to keep trying.
As for ginger, for me it didn't work at all. I try to avoid warm/hot food, anything with a strong smell, fruit, meat, fish, salad. I can usually tolerate dry bread, yogurt, baked crisps, small amounts of white pasta with tinned veg. Sometimes I crave really strange foods so I have a shot at eating them on the off-chance I might keep them down. Tesco home-delivery service probably thinks I've gone mad!
When the sickness first started I went mad for peppermint tea and sucking aniseed balls, but now both make me sick just smelling them!
I also find it helps not to fight the urge to vomit. The first few weeks I tried to suppress it, but now I just run to the bathroom and let my body have its way.
