Not much helped me - maxalon (prescribed by dr) helped a bit (he also suggested Vitamin B6 I think?), also crushed ice to drink. I lived on frozen coke and slushies at one point!!
Sorry to hear it's so bad, I hope it clears soon :hugs:

Yes maxalon was my life safer both pregnancy. If yuo still want meds they do have a stronger version of maxalon.

Best of luck

And once its setlted, keep your stomach with food, never go on an empty stomach, if ound that made me vomit

try and eat something before you get out of bed in the mornings. dry toast is a great option, so are wholemeal crackers and rice cakes. try not to let yourself get overly hungry during the day as this will allow the hormones to build up in your system unchecked.

ginger is a natural tummy settler, so maybe try some crystalised ginger, or ginger tea.

both of these worked for me, but then i didn't have it anywhere near as bad as you.....

I found that different things worked at different times. I was like you and really sick and used the following suggestions at differing times to varying success rates.
ginger - eg. dry ginger ale (can help if you make it flat first) or ginger tea, mint - eg chewies, peppermint tea, sea bands (accupressure bands, available from chemists), potatoes (believe it or not, just plain boring potato), dry crackers. I tried Maxalon but couldn't take during pregancy as it made me feel worse but that's still worth asking the doc about as can work wonders for some. I found that if I even remotely felt like eating or drinking something that it was probably a good option. Also eating lots of small regular meals so your stomach isn't to empty or full :o

Hope you find something to help

:hugs: to you MS is no fun at all.
If you have tried all the natural options go and see your Dr because there is things you can take. Like some have already mentioned Maxalon can be taked while pregnant, unfortunatly neither the tablets or the injection worked for me and I ended up taking "Zofren". Drs will only use this as a last resort when things get really bad and if you don't get it through the hospital it is extreamly expensive.
Good luck hopefully you can find something to ease the MS.

I know this may sound bizarre, but I found in my worst moments with MS - eating fatty foods. I know its not the best thing to eat while pregnant, but it worked for me. I'd get DH to go to McDonalds and buy a quarter pounder and chips and once I had it I felt heaps better. It worked for SIL and my best friend as well. Once your feeling better, make sure you keep your tummy full - don't go hungry!!! This will make it worse.

Maxalon worked wonders for me (when i could keep the tablets down long enough for them to work ) - try small sips of weak apple juice (just add some iced water ) that should help to keep your blood sugar levels up and apple juice is meant to settle the stomach.

I ended up in hospital with maxalon injections (couldn't keep anything down by mouth) which helped a bit but only whilst I was in the hospital.

So then I went to a homeopath. Almost instant recovery!! Within 2 days I was sooo much better. I wish I'd done it earlier. I can't recommend this option highly enough, it was easier, cheaper, quicker and far more effective than anything else, and also much safer for my bub. :D

Sorry to hear you're so sick. I have also had 24/7 sickness, and my GP prescribed Maxolon. It has helped a great deal and I had my first spew-free day with the help of it.
I also found that I ALWAYS spewed after eating anything greasy, so maybe you could try avoiding greasy foods if you eat that sort of thing.
I eat lots of milk arrowroot bickies, which also eases the yukky feeling.
Also, I have heard B6 is good. I havent tried it.
