I posted this on my personal facebook and was surprised by the amount of support I got. I’ve posted about Hyperemesis Gravidarum there before but this time, perhaps because of my vitriol, it seems like this resonated with more people. I’m better to the point where I can actually be angry now, and even leave the house, but I dream of the day I can feel like an actual human again. Since I think this is a great article, I’m sharing it here too:
As I’ve said in the comments there and on my page, this is a much more polite article than I would have written, I am not yet to the point (maybe after this sweet little one is here) where I can talk about my experiences with it both this pregnancy and with my first, it’s still too traumatic. I did post this comment in response to someone on FB regarding when you should consider yourself an HG sufferer… basically if you’re *suffering* you probably have HG and deserve support and treatment:
The best description I read differentiating ‘morning sickness’ or NVP (nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, the updated medical term for it) and Hyperemesis Gravidarum is that NVP is periodic, often able to be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes, and while uncomfortable does not result in “misery”. If you experience nausea that does not relent throughout the day, you probably have HG. If you lose weight due to inability to eat or drink, you probably have HG. If you vomit repeatedly and cannot control or stop vomiting, you probably have HG. If vomiting does not ease your nausea, you probably have HG. If you can’t keep down water or liquids, you probably have HG. None of these things are normal or healthy, and there are treatments available that people should know about. If you experience MISERY, not just discomfort, due to your nausea and/or vomiting on a regular basis, you have HG and by God should be given medical help, support and comfort. There are multiple anti-nausea drugs on the market that are now covered by insurance that a few years ago were not, there are multiple anti-vomiting drugs also, and a host of other medications such as acid reducers, vitamin complexes and natural remedies such as marijuana which help women and their babies survive. Most women who get HG don’t know what it is unless they are hospitalized and are lucky enough to be seen by a doctor who isn’t a moron.

I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all
web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most
blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I think this is a real great blog.Thanks Again. Want more.
It’s genuinely very difficult in this busy life to listen news on Television, so I only use the web
for that reason, and obtain the newest information.
Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this
site with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers!

I extremely enjoyed the usual information an individual supply on your guests?

I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless
think of if you added some great photos or video clips to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could
definitely be one of the greatest in its field.
Fantastic blog!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. But just imagine if you added some great visuals or
videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could undeniably
be one of the very best in its niche. Awesome blog!

at the moment this time I am browsing this site and
reading very informative articles at this place.
Great website you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here?
