Holy nausea, Batman!

I am not complaining because i'd much rather have this than not. The morning/all day sickness is in full effect. Sitting at my desk is torture right now, I just want to lie down. Someone suggested ginger root. Anyone have any luck with that?

    My m/s laughed at things ginger or cracker related.  Mine is pretty extreme and i've had to do IV fluids twice, but here's what seems to be helping make the day manageable:

    Seabands
    1/2 unisom & 25mg B6 at bedtime
    25 mg B6 with every meal
    Dissolvable zofran every 8 hours
    Epsom salt baths

    I also have Reglan and Meclizine if I need it.

    I've had a hard time getting food or fluids, so I've started getting the Ensure drinks to try and get some nutrients, as well as have basically been eating brothy soups, fresh veggies and fruits (mainly watermelon).

    Ginger didn't work for me either. I was put on Zofran and Phenergan. I did find once I was put on Prilosec for my reflux it also helped me to avoid throwing up. Sorry, I definitely feel for you. Sea bands didn't do a thing for me either but I hear some people do have luck with them. One thing I did find helpful, though the effect was very temporary, was preggie pops and plain white mints. Good luck, I hope you find some relief! Hugs!

    Things that helped me:

    50 mg of B6 every day

    Crackers with peanut butter or toast with peanut butter

    lemon drops

    taking prenatal vitamins with dinner instead of in the morning 

    It's rough when it's all day!  That's how it was for me too in the 1st tri.

    Ms is rough and I'm sorry you're struggling. My ms was pretty run of the mill, no need for IV fluids or prescription meds. Just a constant hangover feeling, food aversions, and occasional puking and diarrhea. I did not puke every day. But still, combined with exhaustion and dizzy spells, it made it hard to function.

    Some things helped but nothing took it away. At all. I did discover an old fashioned ginger lemonade drink that sat well in my stomach, that ginger and lemon combo was good. I wore Sea Bands too. I also kept oyster crackers in my nightstand and ate a handful before I got out of bed every morning. Small meals more frequently. It was a delicate balance, too much or too little food both made me nauseous. Eating separate from drinking. Exercising every day really helped, even though it seemed like the last thing I wanted to do.

    Luckily mine went away in 2nd tri and was at its worst around weeks 8 to 12. Hang in there and good luck!

    My friend gave me Earth Angels Morning Wellness tea and it really helped me.
