I haven't thrown up at all and I know it could be much much worse but I feel so crappy, tired, constantly sick to my stomach. I can't imagine being like this for another 2 months. I also feel lazy cause I haven't been working very much at my part time summer job...
?
Any tips on things to try to help the stomach? I feel bad too that I am not eating healthy at all but the only things I can even consider are bread/crackers/etc and pop and sometimes milk.
?
thanks for listening to my whiney vent. ?
Re: constant nausea :(
lemonheads, jolly ranchers, lemonade, ginger ale....
small meals more often to keep food in your stomach...i'm doing a terrible job of eating healthy right now. Since potatos are really the only thing that sounds palletable (tatertots, french fries, mashed etc..) along with pasta (mac and cheeze:) ). I figured, once the nausea subsides, i'll pick up eating healthy again...for now i try to force down a veggie or two (raw carrots seem to sit well actually).

If you are open to it, I'd recommend trying acupuncture. I started doing it to help with my IVF cycle and have continued going 1/week. Last week I started feeling pretty crappy for much of the afternoon and evening. I had an acu appt. last week on Friday afternoon. When I went in, I was already feeling crappy. By the time I left the office, I was feeling better, and I felt much better over the weekend. I'm not sure how long the effects will last - I have another appt. scheduled for this Friday but will move it up if I need to.
Good luck!
Small meals - whatever I can keep down which is usually crackers, bagels, peanut butter, pasta and water diluted w/gatorade.
Also - last week my dr. recommended Sea Bands which are accupressure bands and I have to say, I think they work. I have been using them for the past 4 days and while I don't feel fabulous, I do feel less nauseous (and I have the lovely all day nauseousness that gets worse at night) than I had been feeling.
I hope you feel better soon!
I've tried everything. B6, Unisom, Dramamine, small meals, peanut butter crackers (worked with DD), saltines, ginger ale, Sprite, lemon water, lemonade, Lemon Heads, Jolly Ranchers, Preggie Pops Drops (both kinds), Organic Queasy Drops, Ice Breakers Sours, Sea Bands.
At my appointment today DH ended up begging my doctor for me some phenergan or anything. So now I'm home, drugged up on phenergan, but at least I'm not nauseous. I was staying nauseous but not able to throw up. Just violent dry heaving. But because I had tried everything we could really think of, we ended up going the prescription route.
