[quote=Anonymous]Are you working in an office? First, do whatever you can to be granted extended leave. You need to rest and stay hydrated and keep your strength.

A few off beat suggestions to try;

Try fresh air and staying cool to cold. When I was ill with morning sickness, I’d have to take cool showers - any increase in my body temperature seemed to make me queasy and dizzy and then the vomiting would start. Open windows (this also helped eliminate any cooking odors) and if you can, get outside for a few minutes.

Try candy canes. I kept these bedside. As soon as I’d wake up, I’d suck on a candy cane. You don’t have to finish it but the taste was well-tolerated and seemed to boost my blood sugar.

Drink your calories. Make protein shakes with your favorite (non dairy) base like almond or oat milk. Add applesauce and or banana and a protein powder. Toss in ice cubes. Add what seems tolerable or whirl the milk with ice cubes. Add honey to ginger tea. Decide if you like it hot, warm or cold and sip. Even kid sized yogurt drinks (Dannon brand) will give you some calories. I could not tolerate seltzer or bubbly drinks but loved ice water and sometimes ginger ale.

Go fragrance free. Every smell made me sick. Time to toss or put away anything scented. [/quote]
