greenerfingers Thank you so much for your lovely message. That is so encouraging for those suffering badly, so don't feel that you have to play down how much better you feel. I am so glad you are a lot better; that is great.
Watermelonbonnie Welcome. Sorry you are suffering. It must be very difficult as a single parent with two and suffering from Hyperemesis. Ondansetron has helped many on here. It's a shame your doctor is reluctant to give you more than a handful; it might be worth phoning Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 for advice on obtaining effective meds. They will have to phone you back, but they give excellent advice. Hopefully you will be ale to get a regular supply of Ondansetron. Bad headaches can be a menace , either down to dehydration or migraines due to hormones. It doesn't sound to me as if you are well enough to work. Is there any chance you can be off sick for a bit? I've added your due date and I am quoting my normal speil, which I hope helps you. Ignore the parts which don't apply, obviously. Sufferers find that they improve a lot at some point between weeks 14 and 20, or sometimes later. 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 doctors, 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, Vimto, 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 (M and S has been recommende), 7Up, isotonic drinks, sips of strawberry or 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. Also, pink lemonade , cloudy lemonade and Sprite. Foods of a sort include tinned fruit, cuppa soup, nibbles of crisps and chips, cheap ice cream, Scotch pancakes, bagels and biscuits, potato smileys, minature salty Yorkshire Puddings , dry cereals and slices of melon and mango. Protein drinks have also been mentioned.
