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.
MOH's wonderful website is full of useful information on this illness:

squeezed I can imagine that is frustrating but my dh would be the same but because he would hate seeing me so ill. Agree part time or reduced hours might be good compromise
1more gutted that despite acknowledging you are at risk of dehydration they want you to wait until Monday!
sleepy sorry about hospitalisation and canulla issues here's hoping there's not a next time!
One very poorly ds full of cold and being upset about not being allowed biscuits all day! Early night for him. I've enjoyed the cuddles although been very sick and not kept anything down so far today 
My vomit free streak has ended. Veggie sausages are now off the food list. Dh is cleaning my sick out the today cleaned kitchen sink.
Dh has handed me vanilla ice cream and I have stopped crying about how pregnancy is ruining my life. I feel guilty as I am looking forward to baby, I just hate being pregnant. I'm being crappy and self centred. Others have it far worse than me, and I should be grateful I've had a manageable week.
I just hate being sick, and sadly vomiting doesn't get easier the more you do it. Even when I'm not vomiting I'm constantly in fear of throwing up, and I struggle so much to eat in the first place that it's very frustrating to vomit and then start the hungry/sick cycle again.
1more you can get buccastem over the counter, but not if you're pregnant. I got some at 8 weeks and had to lie through my teeth when I wanted to buy it over the counter. Told them it was for migraines and I'd been prescribed it previously. Obviously this is very irresponsible and I wouldn't recommend to anyone, though I'd happily do it again for myself (if buccastem worked for me).
sleepy sorry you're having a rough time. How are you feeling now?
ickle sorry your DS is not feeling well. Can't be easy for you!
Hope others are having a more enjoyable Saturday night. 
Sorry to hear so many of you having rough times 😞 I wish id have known you could take buccastem when I was at my worst... I used to take it for unexplained nausea episodes before Amy, it worked wonders... Took Amy out for the day today and I'm bloody knackered! Left dh a list of chores to do as he was being a bit of an arse last night because I had the audacity to ask him to chip in with amys bedtime... I normally clean the house on Saturdays while all he has to do is entertain Amy and wash up... I told him in no uncertain terms we were swapping today and I'd clean the kitchen after my day out with Amy... Got back and the house was gleaming, even the kitchen... I think he realises he f*cked up last night 
dd made me eat a chocolate heart in bed this morning. It didn't end well
BarmeeMarmee Ah, born on Mother's Day, and what a whopping weight!
So glad you are feeling fine again, about 99.5 per cent of people do within hours. 
BarmeeMarmee Forgot to add, you were a star thoughout though you suffered until the end.
Happy mothers day everyone!
Congratulations barmee enjoy lots of cuddles and snacks!
amysmummy glad your dh realises that he needs to up the anti a bit, fingers crossed it's not just a one off!
mrsmonkey sounds sensible not to cut down ondansetron too quickly. Good work on eggs!
sleepy people keep telling me I've lost weight but am at a loss as to what I can do about it. I haven't kept any meals down the last 3 days. Managed some lunch and hour ago and fingers crossed the half a roll I had may stay down.
shoop pink vomiting how romantic 
on the plus side hopefully not long to go now...
squeezed I found gavison tablets that you chew better last time, also on prescription so worth a try perhaps! At least the thought was there with the chocolate heart!
Right ds has been asleep for nearly 2hours so going to make the most of my rest before the afternoon survival mode kicks in!
Out of interest those who have been signed off work when did you feel ready to go back? I am down from 10 voms a day to 4/5 so definitely an improvement but don't want to push myself too soon and get worse. However I miss work and the satisfaction I get from it! (Also got major building work starting soon so won't be that peaceful at home for long! )
