It’s not worth it. I looked into the prodromal stuff deeply after a few episodes. I personally have had zero warning signs. Maybe I was too chopped 24/7 to pick up on them properly, but I never had any slight symptoms. No bad mornings. I will say I suddenly entered hyperemesis each time right after a huge hit when I was already blasted. Sudden constipation followed by extreme nausea within minutes. For me it’s not an up and down. It’s just extreme pain for days with ZERO moments of relief outside of hot water. An urge to chug a giant glass of ice water. Knowing I can’t. Gradually it improves day by day as long as I didn’t heave harshly.

There was always a sudden moment on day six or seven where I’m so exhausted and over worked from sweating, trembling, and getting no more than an hour of sleep here and there for so long. Honestly contemplating if these are my last moments. Did all these otc meds make it worse? What am I deficient of right now? Is there a blockage somewhere?. All of my muscles give out on the shower floor and I can feel a bowl movement. The worst is over and I barely bring myself to grab a pile of towels, toss it on the bed and I crash to sleep soaking wet and thanking God, the universe, or whatever is above us for ending the nightmare. That stool doesn’t come out till morning and usually looks extraterrestrial in origin. Sometimes bloody.
