I like my doctor, I really do.... especially when he takes one look at me and says "you don't look well at all!!" Geez thanks ever so much, that's why I'm here!!! He really does give a dam which I am really grateful for. Where to start???
Not much he can really do about the whole nausea thing!!! YAY I'm so happy (hint of sarcasm there). He says because I am able to keep some food in me and the maxolon makes things worse, there really is no point in prescribing any other medical treatments at this point. This is when I do believe I did this
.. a lot of
. He said what I can try is an anti histamine.Hmmm, suppose I better give this one a go and see what happens. The only side effect is sedation... well I'm sleep pretty much all the time so why not lol!!! I've lost a total of 5 kilos in just over a week. He's not toooo concerned about that one as I did the same thing when pregnant with miss g. Infact I lost a total of 22 kilos when I was pregnant with her!! I was one hot mumma lol!!! He has given me some other things to try...
1. Eat what ever my body is craving. He said no matter what it is eat it!!! Apparently a lot of women have reported that they feel fine if they eat what they are craving..... well for me it seems to be chocolate thickshakes!! He said to me go for it... it's calcium at the end of the day!
2. Eat Apples.... been living on the suckers anyway. Apparently apples helps a lot of women with morning sickness. (have them cold out of the fridge)
3. Eat cheese and nuts. Cheese takes longer to digest and is full of protein as is nuts. So made it to the supermarket and purchased one big ass block of cheese and a big ass bag of nuts. Almonds are the best ones so almonds for all.
4. Graze throughout the day. Well that's what I've been doing. He suggested eating really small amounts of whatever it is I'm craving. Say it's a sandwich of some kind... take small bites of it and eat it over a course of 1/2 hour or so. Yet to try that one but I'll give it a go. He also said to eat to stop the hungry nausea and just enough so that you feel that nice feeling of full.
5. Don't drink any fluids with any meal that you eat. He told me to wait at least 1/2 hour before consuming any fluids. Try really cold drinks... that's all I can handle anyway is really cold drinks.
6. Here's one I have never heard of before... sniffing lemon. Apparently it's an old one but a good one and a lot of women have found it helps keep the nausea away. I'll strap one to my nose!!!
There were more tips... got them written down just cant seem to find them ohoh....
Now the shakes I've been having....... Could be one of three things or a combination of all three. Could be a kidney or bladder infection. If so then daily injections will be required only because I have real trouble swallowing any big ass tablets. Could be severly low blood sugar levels... if so off to hospital for me for 24 hours of IV and electorlytes. Then home for a few days and then back to hospital again. He said it's quickest way to get my blood sugar levels to where they need to be. It could be I am lacking in every known vitamin and mineral known to man!!! If that's the case then daily injections will be required again until all levels are back up to where they should be. The doc said to sleep whenever I want as tiredness can make the nausea worse. Unless I get alot worse then I just have to put up with it for the moment. He's trying to be optimistic bless him and is saying that a lot of women have to wait until the 16 week mark before the nausea disappears...... two more weeks and we'll know if his optimism has paid off. For the moment it's blood tests, I'm being screened for anything and everything and some more urine tests.... results should be back in a couple of days.
Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness. I would be truly lost without all of you... thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
