Goodness, the thread is busy. Harebellmeadow I remember you and your lovely name from last time. I am so glad that the thrread helped.
How ungrateful of your work colleagues not to notice the sacrifice you made in dragging yourself in. I hope everyone on here takes due note of that: sufferers often go back to work far too early.
8DaysaWeek I am so glad that you are much better.#
Hairgician Welcome back. I do hope it holds of until the festivities are over, and that effective meds stop it from being too bad.
Weebean Welcome. Sorry you feel so down. You have already had great advi ce. As others say, do ask for more efective meds. An anti acid can make all the difference, too. if you have been signed off like that it certainly sounds like Hyperemesis. How are the liquids going down? Have you got kesostix to check for the early stages of dehydration (though the signs of dry mouth, headache, blurred vision, dark urine are probably more reliable, hospitals seem to have great faith in them). Some drinks that have helped others: ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, flat full sugar coke, soda water, fizzy water, Elderflower water, ice cubes, Lucoazade, fizzy orange, lemonade, orange squash, Robinson's fruit drinks, orange juice (if not too acid), sips of chocolate milkshake - maybe soya - Iron Bru, Dr Pepper andElderflower cordial and tonic water. Some foods- so called - cuppa soup, nibbles of crisps and chips, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, tinned fruit, and slices of melon and mango.
Senorasur I do hope you find something that suits you, and do try for more effective meds.
Good advice from eallsion Reastie and everyone.
MauisLeftNipple I am glad the thread is helping.
Apologies to anyone I've rudely overlooked. I hope everyone is coping today.
