Officially on disability leave....

oO Angie Oo

So I know I've posted in the past that I wasn't having many symptoms and was worried. Boy, do I wish I took your advice and just enjoy that time because the ms came with a vengeance about a week and a half ago. I wonder why they call it morning sickness because its more like all day and night sickness!!  I lost 5 pounds last week alone. I'm gagging and dry heaving all day. The doctor offered on Tuesday to put me on disability when we went for ultra sound but I wanted to tough it out. Today I just couldn't do it and my manager actually told me to ask because she knows I'm struggling. 

They say ms is a sign of healthy pregnancy so I'm thankful but this is really hard. I can't even remember days were like when I actually liked food.

Did you not ask for or were you not offered meds??

I'd give those a try before going out of work....

Yeah I was given reglan and zofran, as well as a new prenatal with ginger. I've been on this medication for about a week but its still really bad. I work for MAC cosmetics in a Nordsrrom so I'm literally in people's faces doing makeup most of the day and its really hard when I'm gagging if I smell their breath. 

 My dept manager said if I don't work enough hours my benefits get suspended and I need my benefits to see my RE so she's the one who also recommened that I just get put out for a few weeks to get used to it. My RE said that most women peak at 10 weeks and start to get better by the 12th week. Im already 8 weeks so I'm just hoping these next few weeks get easier.

I know what you are going through.  I was so so so sick for the first few months and nothing seemed to help.  I am also on 2 meds - zofran and promethazine (suppository)  I remember that it got better when I stopped the progesterone shots and then again when I stopped the metformin.  But I still throw up at least once a day (much better than the 10-12 a day in the beginning)  I hope that it stops completely for you but it does get better.  Good luck!

I'm sorry.  The nausea is just horrible and extra exhausting on top of everything else.  I'm hoping you start feeling better soon!

Ugh, sorry you are going through this.  MS is no fun, and it sounds like you have a terrible case of it.  Mine did get better around 11/12 weeks, and I really hope that is the case for you as well. Good Luck!
