Mrs Lee,
I understand what you are going through. I've also been on MC/HL for a month. The rest of the girls know what kind of depressing and crazy-sounding posts I've been posting over the last few weeks. I vomited 20 over times a day and like you I had very bad insomnia. For days and weeks I couldn't sleep, I would cry before bedtime because I knew it was going to be another sleepless night. I would wake up and vomit every 2 hrs interval. If there was nothing in my stomach I would vomit acid. I even went to Gleneagles A&E at 4am to get an injection and put on drip for 3 hrs. In the morning, I would tear in bed because it signals another day of endless vomiting.
Some of the ladies here have quite bad MS too, for eg Bbgoh and sookiewookie. We know how it is like.
Also similar to your case, my gynae prescribed 2 medicines for me. One of them (maxolon) made me even sicker and more bloated and didn't help me to sleep. The other one (zofran)is very strong and for chemo patients. So I didn't want to take. I was very very very tortured like you. I was very upset and even considered termination. It's also my #1 and never did I expect in my wildest dream for this to happen because everyone around me seemed to have very smooth and non eventful pregnancies. Everyone says it is such an amazing journey but it makes me want to smack/stab all of them. It really SUCKED for me.
I suggest that if you are really feeling uncomfortable, you need to seek help. Ask your gynae for another medication, or go to the hospital and get an injection or drip. Please make sure you're hydrated. I know encouragements such as "it will be over soon" will not mean much to you now, because it didn't for me, but do whatever you can to make yourself happy/comfortable and don't feel that you're alone in this. I felt very helpless and nobody could understand my pain. Alot of mummies here who had previous experiences shared with me and believe me, some of us are going through the agony like you.
Not everyone goes through a smooth pregnancy without MS so not everyone will understand. Make sure your gynae knows exactly what is happening to you.
Even now, I feel that my gynae is not understanding and supportive enough that I am going to see another gynae later this week.
Come online and talk to us. Alot of mummies here are very encouraging and supportive and it helped me through my darkest days.
PM me if you want to talk. I'm online alot.
Pls take care of yourself.
