[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP.  My thoughts and prayers are with you during the healing process.

For those other posters who still are dealing with illness, when Zofran was not enough to keep food and liquids down for me (3 ER visits in total for IVs)--started with 4mg under the tongue type, upped to 8mg every 8 hours--still didn't work on its own, they gave me Reglan that stopped the vomiting enough where I was getting some fluids/nutrients. You may have to ask for Reglan.  My 2nd ER visit, all they did was re-prescribe Zofran for me, and my doctor was livid.  She said it obviously wasn't working so they should have given me the Reglan (thus I had to go in for a 3rd time).  I don't remember the mg dosage for Reglan, but I had to take it every 6 hours.  They gave me Phenegran for nighttime too, but it made me too groggy to be able to work even a little, so I only took it once or twice.  The worst of it lifted at 12 weeks, so I weaned myself off both Zofran and Reglan because they gave me weird side effects (claustrophobia and restlessness), and honestly, I was so sick of taking pills all the time that I couldn't wait to stop.  I am still getting sick at 22 weeks, but maybe once or twice a week now when I'm having a bad day, which my doctor said would happen from time to time.  The nausea is still around but nowhere near as bad as during the first trimester.  Good luck to you all!  It was a terrible time, and I wish I was completely better, but at least it is now bearable!   Hyperemesis is the worst, but it's real, so ask for as much help as you can get to help you through![/quote]
