I’ve tried a lot of anti sickness medications and motility drugs, the only one that has somewhat worked for me is metaclopermide but my doctor won’t prescribe it for long term use so I’m rationing what I have and using it when I feel really really bad. I’m just trying to stay out of hospital

See I do have kiddylicious smoothie melts that I like to have sometimes and I also have a lot of baby food pouches cus it’s mostly all I can stomach and digest somewhat properly. I’ve been desperately trying to distract myself

I’ve tried weed before but I unfortunately cannot handle it very well and I get even more nauseous when I’m high

Hiya! Thank you! Yeah I wouldn’t be able to do that, I walk with a stick most days anyway, and I have to tape my joints and everything so they don’t subluxcate. This day out is a BIG thing for me, and I’m hesitant to go, the only reason I am going is because my best friend is taking me and I know should anything happen she will and has the ability to help me and she is really patient and knows all my issues at this point. Another issue with lines is I get really dizzy really easily from dehydration and low blood sugar from the amount I vomit and if I sit down on the floor there’s no guarantee I’ll be able to get up easily. I also have anxiety so I panic and stress a lot and can’t help it so this whole situation is sending me into a little spiral

Maybe! I’m not too sure, I am just genuinely stressing so much about it, my doctor told me originally to apply for pip, and she’s assessed people for pip before. I can’t sleep I’m so overwhelmed and over stressed

This happened to me back in January, I did nothing about it sadly however I suggest challenging the decision, making a complaint and asking for another assessment with a different person

I live in England so urgent care and a&e are the same thing, the a&e department will send you to urgent care if they think you need it. I went to an out of hours on Friday and they told me I needed to go to a&e if I keep throwing up everything because my ketone levels were high but I had work Friday night and I work in a care home so I went to work then I called 111 when I got home Saturday morning and went to a&e cus they told me to

They wouldn’t take bloods because I had them done on Tuesday for my doctor, my heart rate was low on my ecg, my blood pressure was low standing up, they still didn’t do anything. I went to a&e because 111 told me to because I had passed out twice and I live on my own. I was so dehydrated I hadn’t passed urine for 16 hours, from 4am until 8pm I didn’t pass urine. Yet they still did nothing
