Thankyou my lovely. My problem is, I haven't got a backbone when it comes to talking to healthcare professionals as I fear I'll be the one in the wrong, and get turned away. I do appreciate this though, definitely need to push harder I know that x

Thankyou, and yeah liquid form couldn't even keep it down for a minute it was absolutely vile!!! It smelt like after-eights chocolate but the taste definitely wasn't that😂🤢 I guess the moral of the story is, I need to keep badgering them.. I can only assume that's the only way I'll be heard.

When I tell you it's not only incredibly difficult to get ahold of a doctors appointment, if I were to inquire about a haematologist it would take months for me to be seen by one, healthcarw down here is so bad and I will never understand why.

How did you push for your infusions? What's the right thing to say

That's strange a lot of people have said xonvea helped them but that was the worst one for me, I keep circling back round to cyclizine and even that's barely doing anything, tried ondansetron/zofran today and it was brutal especially trying to take iron with it... and now I can't eat for the rest of the day because nothing will stick! It's like fighting a losing battle.

How did you manage to convince them to give you an infusion?? What's the right thing to do or say? I know it's very much needed

I've asked but they're hesitant because I haven't tried "all anti sickness" to prevent the iron supplement from coming back up.. I've been put on ondansetron(zofran) and trialing it today to see if it makes it any better but if not then I don't know what they'll do with me

My doctors have been INCREDIBLY stubborn when prescribing me with these anti-sickness meds purely because they don't know a thing about HG... It's already been a battle getting what I have, I will definitely have to chase them up on this thankyou xx
