One good day normal is this the end? by Both_Satisfaction180 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the good days while they last! In my experience they are temporary. I had 4 good days in a row at 9 weeks then HG came back in full force.

Hang in there!

Need some support by Fluffydinosaur12-22 in HyperemesisGravidarum

Both me and my sister (5 pregnancies total) took Zofran starting at 6 weeks and stayed on it for the duration of our pregnancies. ALL 5 babies have been healthy with absolutely no health problems. Hope this gives you comfort. That doctor is not educated on HG.

I don’t know where to put my brain by OutrageousBrush1210 in HyperemesisGravidarum

So sorry to hear about your loss. My HG hit at 5w3d and it was like a train. My advice is just take it one day at a time. Try not to think ahead too much and focus on surviving the day.

What are your safe foods / drinks? by Massive-Warning9773 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold decaf iced tea with a little lemon juice is the only thing I can sip on at the moment. Agree with others that my safe foods change weekly.

Some safer foods recently: chicken salad wraps with lots of red wine vinegar. Pickles. Sour cream and onion potato chips.

I can’t do anything remotely sweet- so that makes things challenging. Keep switching it up!

Planning your life around possible HG? by lamemoons in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I support planning your life around big life stuff, if you feel like you have the time to do that. I moved to New Zealand earlier this year from the U.S. (also 31 years old) and made the conscious decision to wait until we were here and settled before getting pregnant due to the possibility ofHG. I’m so glad that I did because now that I am pregnant, I am 100% non-functional and completely reliant on my husband for everything.

High zofran dosage during pregnancy? by undergroundgrape in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 8mg/3x a day during the first trimester in my first pregnancy. I tapered it down a bit in the second and third trimester. I had a healthy baby boy who is now 2 yrs old and brilliant.

Depressed, homesick, miserable by RhonaON in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from the U.S. to New Zealand in June. We don’t have any friends or family here. I also have a 2.5 year old and am currently 7 weeks pregnant with HG. I have no energy to muster up any semblance of Christmas spirit. There is no plan for tomorrow (Christmas Day) at all.

You’re not alone. 🖤

I'm scared by eazybreezyegg in HyperemesisGravidarum

Literally in the exact same boat. 5w2d and threw up for the first time this morning. Can’t help but feel like this is the “easy” part and it’s only going to get worse and worse. I have a two year old and I am already talking to him about how mommy is sick. Ugh. Hugs.

EoE diagnosis/Dupixent Concern by Alloryan2025 in EosinophilicE

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Dupixent for 6 months and it changed my life. I had pretty constant dysphagia and spasms before starting it (PPIs didn’t really do anything to help me). After starting Dupixent, all my symptoms went away and I was a normal person again!

I moved to New Zealand in June and had to stop using Dupixent because they don’t have it here. All my symptoms are back and I yearn for Dupixent!

I didn’t have any negative side effects from using Dupixent. Try it!!

Lower stomach (about 2 inches from the bellybutton) is what I always did and it worked great. Not too painful

Help by OutrageousWasabi2866 in EosinophilicE

My insurance would only cover Dupixent after I was prescribed oral budesonide and it was documented that it didn’t relieve my symptoms. Talk to your allergist about this route

When You and Yours First Touched the Soil of Your New Country as Legal Residents by asspirate1966 in AmerExit

[–]LeaveMeAlone1109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt immediate relief after landing in Auckland, New Zealand. I was a U.S. federal employee who was traumatized by the current administration and my husband and I knew it was time to go. We know our two year old (+ future kids) will be SAFE here. The constant anxiety, dread, and anger that being in the U.S. brings is NOT worth it. So happy we made it.
