It's me again, the "dim lightbulb". I was looking over my protocol and I noticed that I might be making dramatic steps in my last two steps. I went by what I read here at HER about the 5% and 10% prepregnancy weight loss rule to getting further help. Am I being too rash and rushing things? I know that I haven't listed steroids as an options. I had a false positive cushings disease test due to high cortisol last summer so I don't know if steroids are even an option for me. Sorry this is so long. Here it is.
MY PROTOCOL
**Do not give me Reglan, Compazine or Phenergan**
Pre-Conception:
1. See Dr and change seizure meds.
2. Visit Drs and go over this protocol with them. Get their input. h pylori testing?
3. B6 50 mg in a.m. and 50 mg in p.m.
4. Will stop all OTC meds.
5. Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day.
6. Exercise at the gym at least three times a week.
7. Prenatal vitamins... Rainbow Light.
8. Make appt to have teeth cleaned.
9. Get HG Kit together.
10. Start taking 5 mg of Folic Acid daily.
11. Buy Ketostix for ketones testing.
12. Do gestational diabetes testing to see where I stand.
Conception:
1. Positive pregnancy test – Unisom Nightime 25mg – ½ pill w/ 50 mg B6 3x's daily. Can up this to 1 unisom and 50 mg B6 3x's a day if more relief is needed. 250 mg of B6 and 3 unisoms is the max. Very open to trying sublingual B6. Make sure I have gatorade, salty snacks and Bryers or Schawns popsicles on hand.
2. Continue 5 mg of Folic Acid daily with seizure med.
3. Will start the Relief Band with the electrical current.
4. Zofran - Started at first sign of overwhelming nausea. Find out what max dose I can be given and if I can have an Rx on hand before I get pg. Will try meclizine, Kytril and Anzemet if Zofran loses its effectiveness since Zofran works just for vomitting NOT the nausea!! Keep Zofran doses evenly spaced during a 24hr period.
5. Start Colace for constipation.
6. Pepcid for heartburn.
7. At 5% prepregnancy weight lose, will get an IV fluids and Zofran Pump if ketones show during home testing... Zofran Pump-need to ask where I get this at
8. At 10% prepregnancy weight lose, do a PICC line with TPN... or NG tube...or Gtube...unsure of what I want to do at this point.
Thanks,
