Need opinons please?UPDATE
I'd really like some opinons on this.
I have all day sicknees,have had this since 3wks i am now 6+3..
I retch ALL the time,siting up and moving around trigger my retching and vomiting..
I am sick about 6-8 times aday(soz if tmi) generally a mouthfull at a time..
I constantly feel really nauseous.
Today i have been really bad,i've been sick only 4 times BUT (soz if tmi) i have emptied the entire contents of my tummy each time and i feel SOO BAD.
I have spoken to doctors twice about this,i have no normal life,i cant move around freely,i cant cook and housework is out right now but the doctors wont give me anything!!
I really really dont know what to do?
Does this sound like normal MS to you all?
Why wont the docs give me any medication to help?
Any opionon please,i feel sooo desperate and am to scared tomove cos i know i'm gonna be sick,i am at the end of my tether ..
Help!!

Lottie thanks for replying hun,this has been going on for 3 and a half weeks but today is really bad,i'm wearing the bands as we speak,lol,think they poss do help it..
First doc i spoke to (man) just chuckled and said its a good thing,DOH it doesnt feelit!!
Second one tonight i think was a nurse n she said theres no cure for MS,when i said cant they give e anti nausea meds she just went quiet GRRRR..

Sorry to hear that you are feeling this bad... I am nearly 35 weeks now and have had hyperemesis since 4+2, so I really do feel your pain!
Do you manage to keep any fluids down at all?
You need to be careful about getting dehydrated - that is the main reason that they will give anti emetics, but to be honest, I was throwing up at least 30 times a day before I was given any anti sickness medication... But then I have been an extreme case, so you may find that if you persevere with your GP, you will be able to get some medication, but it does take some time to persuade them that you are a severe enough case.
The most important thing here is to try (and I really do know it's hard!) to keep your fluids down - sucking on ice cubes is a good one..
Also, how much weight have you lost so far? It's worth keeping a check on this because this can be how hyperemesis is measured - I lost three and a half stone in three weeks and so ended up in hospital!
Hope this helps - please let me know if I can give you any more info - there are a couple of us girls on here who have suffered and can give you some decent info!

ps - Most people find their symptoms start to ease at 12-16 weeks - don't want to panic you with my 35 weeks of it!!!!
Claire i have to admit i am starting to get really concerned now,i cant keep crackers down and water is starting to come back up now.Its crazy no woman should have to fight for medication which will help,i really cant imagine havingit in 3 pregnancies!!
Did you always vomit lots claire,cos mine is mainly lots of retching and mouthfulls,except today..Does it sound like Hypermesis to you claire?
My OH is making an appointment for monday at the docs and is gonna come with me so he can tell them exactly whats happening..

Just keep on with the water - you can live without the food for a couple of days!! If you are feeling brave, try a biccy or cracker, but fluid is the most important factor!

sorry ive rambled again havent i

if you are not being taken seriuosly go to a and e, they will help you they will do all the relevent checks urine and bloods and they will really try to help, dont suffer get yourself up there, i really hope you feel better soon, i still got it now but its more maageable than it was i have forgotton what a none sick ness day feels like?
in the meantime ice cubes as mrs buttons has said and ice lollies polos and flat lucozade, lucozade will boost you a little try and have a bit of soup with loads of salt in it i know the thought is prb making you retch and stwed apples with loads of sugar, they are for your electrolytes, right i am rambling now good luck we are here for support whenever you need us xx
Glad you got to see a doctor - urine infections are very common with hyperemesis because of the dehydration factor so nothing unusual there! My wee has been all sorts of bizarre colours and sometimes I haven't had one for like a day and a half!!!
The metaclopramide are pretty good - it's just because they are tablets, whether you can keep them down or not! I ended up (and think Claire and Chloe did too) with suppositories because it makes sense that if you can't keep anything down, you won't be able to keep a tablet down!!! When you've taken the tablet, just lie still and do literally nothing (not that you probably feel like anything else right now anyway!) and hopefully they'll stay down long enough to make some difference (I think they say about 45 mins!)
Take good care of yourself and let us know how it's going..
love C xxx

I take my hat off to you ladies xx
Well took the first tablet and it helped for about 3 hours then i started vomiting again grrr..
I had food in me for about 3 hours is that enough time for soething to go into my body?
Also with the water,i keep it down till tablets wear off,is this enough time for fluid to digest preoperly?
Sorry for so many quesions
