timotam Welcome. Sorry you are suffering. It is a dismal illness and very isolating. Try not to fret about work; there is no point in going in until you are feeling a lot better as rest is as essential as meds. Most sufferers on here have to take off a while from work unless they have it very mildly. Do ask if you could try another anti-emetic. There is Xonvea, which has helped several on here, but I think it might be fairly expensive, as some doctors are reluctant to prescribe it, though it was developed specifically for pregnancy sickness. I wonder if an anti acid might help? Here is my normalo spiel, which I hope might be useful. Most 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, frozen smoothie 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 and dry cereeal.
Zaalfruit The throat can get really sore, and sometimes, bleed a bit. Some find gargling a weak solution of salt y tepid water relieves it, but others find that nauseating. On top of everything else, there is a nasty virus going about with a sore throat as the main symptom. I hope you've avoided that.
Theawkwardblonde That is a long time to wait for effective meds. Might an anti acid help you, as well? Also, Pregnancy Sickness Support on 024 7638 2020 might be able to advise how to get them earlier. They will have to ring you back, but their advice is generally excelllent.
Apologies to anyone rudely overlooked...
