Captainpeaches You can certanly have Hyperemesis and not vomit very much or even at all, if the nausea is extreme. Many sufferers consider the nausea worse than the vomiting. You certainly need meds if you are prostrated and unable to do anything and do ask for them for the doctor. Are you able to drink enough fluids? Here is my normal spiel, some of which I hope might help. Most sufferers find that they improve a lot at some point between weeks 14 and 20. Even those who are unlucky enough to suffer throughout generally are not as ill later on as they are in the first part. A good anti acid can make a surprising difference to the sickness. Kesostix are worth buying online or from a chemists, as while they aren't they best test of dehydration, hospitals take them seriously. When reporting on the vomiting to doctosr, remember to emphasize the number of heaves in each vomiting session, as doctors tend to count these as 'vomits' and this can lead to their underestimating the severity of your symptoms. Besides drinking through a straw, here are some drinks that have helped others: full sugar flat coke (if you don't find it too acid), ice lollies, the juice of tinned fruit, Lucozade, apple juice, Ribina, Dr Pepper, soda water, Elderflower water, tonic water, ice cubes, Iron Bru, lemonade, lemon squash, orange squash, orange juice (if not too acid), fizzy orange, 7Up, isotonic drinks, sips of chocolate milkshake (maybe soya), fizzy water, apple juice, Robinson's fruit drinks, Rubicon sparkling mango drink , raspberry Lucozade sport and frozen ice cubes of flat Lucozade sport . Foods of a sort include tinned fruit, cuppa soup, nibbles of crisps and chips, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, bagels and biscuits and slices of melon and mango.
Tryingandhoping2020 I do hope the doctor prescribed meds. Nobody likes taking them, despite the evidence that the risk is tiny, but if it's a choice between that or the very real dangers of dehydration, you don't have much choice.
composed Fine advice as ever from you and everyone. You are so right, it was old fashioned barley sugar I used to use. I believe you can get it online.
Ttc2017 I think if Cyclizine was going to be very helpful, it would have started working by now, so it is certainly worth asking the doctor for another medication or extra ones and asking about the B6 at the same time as Mother Hen has forgotten about doses! Parma Violets have been recommended on here to get rid of that dreadful taste. It is a balancing act, as sweets can increase the saliva. Also a good anti- acid like Omprazole can make a lot of difference.
