Worryant and Chocolateaddict231 Welcome. I so agree with others, do get effective meds. Worryant There are alternatives to Cyclizine if it makes you too sleepy. Chocolateaddict231 Stemetil does make some sleepy, but as with Cyclizine, that often wears off after a few days. Worryant Did that midwife mean heaves or seperate vomiting sessions? It can be confusing as clinicians often coun 'vomits' as heaves, rather than heaving sessions. I'm assuming you meant fifteen seperte vomting sessions, not heaves. Even so, her lack of symapthy is disturbing. That was rather a strange remark from that doctor, when dehydration is to be taken seriously. Here is my normal spiel, which I hope helps. 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, 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. 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.
Excellent advice from Melleebacca, I am glad you don't have to see that teacher for a couple of weeks! ChloeHel and everyone.
