Stomach problems and exhaustion

in 2nd Trimester
im 20 wks preg and having an awful pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy I was suffering from acid reflux and ulcers that we're starting to bother me once again(I have had problems with them in the passed due to history of alcohol abuse). At about 7 wks I became extremely sick. I vomited mornin noon and night, yet dragged myself through work (I clean houses approx 7-9 hrs a day) and eventually ended up bed ridden for two weeks around 14 weeks. All I could do was literally throw up and cry about how hungry I am, yet id take a small sip of water and throw up a liter somehow. My dr was no help and neither was Diclectin it just made me more tired and miserable and I was falling so far behind at work already. I picked myself up from all that somehow and continued on with my life. I'm at 20 weeks now and I am still throwing up on a daily basis. I'm definatly not taking in an appropriate amount of calories( I go three days without food sometimes) and days I'm slightly better i try so hard to get food in me that I even overdue it and I'm just so frustrated with this unhealthy and miserable feeling cycle I'm caught in. I can't sleep. Ever .. I pull an all nighter at least twice a week and barely sleep the rest of the week. Come the wknd I can't get out of bed and my house is really fallen behind. My bf and my son are frustrated with me and that really hurts me bc I don't wanna feel this way. I lost 8 pds this wk which put me back to what I weighed the day I found out I was pregnant and I'm so scared! I spent two days force feeding myself to make up for it and ended up making myself sick again . My dr is no help to me at all she gives me no suggestions but Diclectin and it doesn't even make me stop puking! Just puts me to sleep. I've also noticed in these last two weeks my legs are useless and I find myself yelling at them to work when trying to get through a work day and sometimes I just sit on my clients floors and cry and cry and cry. I can't wait for this pregnancy to be done with and feel normal again. But until then does anyone have any advice for my stomach/legs or peace of mind? Cause I'm definatly losing mine:(

    Sounds to me like exhaustion.. You really do need to think about changing your doctor if they are of no help. Something is wrong & you need to get the right medical care for yourself. Have you gone to hospital? You need to be explaining your symptoms to a doctor who will actually listen & help. Unfortunately I'm not medically trained so my best advise to you is try at least get fluids down you or you may run the risk of dehydration & maybe you need to take time out from your work & rest up & get you BF to help around the home instead of him being frustrated with you.

    It does sound like you  need a new doctor. Can you find someone else? You shouldn't have to feel like this. There is always something you can do. So sorry mama that you are struggling, the best answer is to find someone who will help you!

    Hugs!!!  #notautomatic-

    Wow. First of all, creepy internet hugs to you. Im sorry you're dealing with all of that. Take a breath. You sound utterly frustrated. >:D<

    Secondly, I'd definitely consider finding a new doctor at this point. A good one would be trying to help you find solutions to your issues and it sounds like yours can't be bothered to even try. I wish I had some advice for you. Try to find a walk-in clinic nearby for a consultation or a new doctor altogether.
