Hi Jacksmommy--
It really does stink, doesn't it? I always thought of myself as someone who could "rally" through hard times, no matter what, but I guess I'm just not. It is hard to get through each day, and getting out of bed in the morning is so depressing (not that I stay out for long!) The meds aren't helping me either--Zofran, Unisom, B6, and Phenergan--I just barf anway. I'm really starting to get hungry too--I spend a lot of time just going over all of the foods I can think of to see if I think any would stay down, and usually don't come up with anything. Triscuits, for some reason, are ok--the reduced fat kind are better (thinner and crispier). Fluids are next to impossible--I can't even stand the smell of water in a glass.
It is amazing to hear the stories of the women on here, though, and realize that it does end at some point--at delivery, at least!
I spoke to an accupunturist yesterday and am going for an appointment today. He says he has helped women like us...we'll see! I tried one appointment last time I had HG and it didn't help, but maybe this time. I'll let you all know if it works.
best,
Jane
