I have posted before that I was feeling pretty well, but the last few days have been much worse and I am recognizing the old HG feelings. I am still coping pretty well and functioning, but fearful that it will get worse soon. I am 8w1d today and my current medications are Zantac 75mg twice a day, B6 50 mg 2-3 times a day. Unisom 25mg at bedtime and Zofran 8mg once a day. I am able to eat and drink and I am not vomiting (yet), but I have constant nausea and fatigue. I am trying to remember if this is the peak of it, or if it will get worse before it gets better. I do remember being around 8-9 weeks with my first HG pg before HG was recognized much and certainly not treated effectively (in 1987) and having the nurses tell me to just hang on for another few weeks, that I would feel better around 12 weeks! I told them that I would DIE if I had to feel that way for 4 more weeks! Little did I know that I would suffer with HG until 22 weeks with that pg. For my suffering, I got an IV injection of B6 and some Phenergan--which helped, but did not relieve the HG. Anyway, I have digressed....tell me what to expect for the next couple of weeks--I would rather recognize the truth than wonder......Thanks for any thoughts...
BTW, I picked up 30 tabs of Zofran ODT yesterday and it was $902--is that the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard of!!! I told the pharmacist that if this was Viargra that was $30 a tablet, there would be outrage in the media and it would be all over the news, but since this just SAVES LIVES, you wouldn't want to make it affordable now would you??? I have weird insurance that has a $500 deductible for prescriptions and I have to pay and wait to be reimbursed each time I get a Rx. I will only be reinbursed $320 for this script. Next time, it will be a $720 reimbursement until I have met $1000 of out of pocket Rx expense--THEN, they will pay %100. So, for now, I am trying to only take one tablet a day to maximize the time between scripts--I need to be reimbursed for this one to be able to buy the next one! What a joke....
