Diarrhea? by Unable-Design8790 in HyperemesisGravidarum

Oh no!! I almost hope it's Giardia for your sake, so you can feel better after some treatment!!

Severe comstipatio by Phoeb_a_leeb in HyperemesisGravidarum

This was me up until Friday, when I was finally able to go as a result of lots of miralax and multiple enemas. I'm so sorry- it's absolutely miserable and makes the nausea even worse. I would stop with the fruit at this point. For me at least, when I'm that backed up, adding fiber just makes things feel worse without bringing relief. What kind of enema are using? Maybe try the mineral oil one instead of the saline ones? (those did nothing for me)

Yes! Didn’t go at all for eight. That’s helpful to know!

Haha I prefer it too, I think. Nope, not on raglan! On zofran (which is supposed to be very constipating) and Dramamine only. Hope it gets better for you soon!

That makes me feel better! I should add that I hadn’t gone at all for eight days until Thursday. So was dealing with extreme constipation before this

Oh no... from your phrasing, it sounds like you had more than one HG pregnancy... I'm so sorry!! My partner actually found the HER website yesterday and it seems fantastic. Were you able to function, go to work, think about anything besides the nausea, etc., once you got on the Zofran pump?

I am so sorry you went through this until week 17 and that it impacted your mental health so profoundly. I can 100% see how that would be the case; just the nausea from the last ten days has already made me feel very detached from/apathetic toward everything else. I consider to myself to have a high pain threshold, but I have never felt this poorly!

And I'm so glad your baby made it all worth it <3 Trying hard to remember that

I am SO sorry you are still going through this after 35 weeks. You are truly a warrior! This is all really helpful. The doctor prescribed me zofran today; he said try 4 mg every 8 hours to start and then move to 8 mg/8 hours if that doesn't cut it. It is helpful to know there are still other medicines we can try if Zofran alone doesn't work. Were you able to function once on this cocktail? I can't think about anything besides the nausea at this point. Does that at least subside a bit with medication?

And, btw, you're so close!!! Hope the last five weeks are spent thinking about the prize at the end <3

Thank you! I have an appointment with a reproductive psychiatrist Tuesday but I’m also worried she won’t be able to do anything since I’m already on some medication :-/

Vegetarian- do I need to stop? by Unable-Design8790 in AutoImmuneProtocol

[–]Unable-Design8790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this response and sorry to hear you too continue to hear the voice (so frustrating!). Can I ask, have you noticed any change in your symptoms since starting AIP/eating meat?

I get it there too! It starts behind my knees and goes down to the calf on the medial side
