Not feeling too good anymore.....

Postby kitty_doc » Jun 30, 2004 7:23 pm

I went on vacation this week and it hit me while out of town. Fortunately, it is still fairly mild, but definitely present. I only had to take Zofran once and I think I needed it because I waited too long to eat and was hot and tired (at an amusement park). I took the 8mg Zofran ODT (YUCK!), and it worked great. I am otherwise still only taking the B6 three times a day, Zantac twice a day and Unisom once a day and can tolerate the nausea pretty well for now. The Zofran really constipates me, so I am trying not to take it unless I just have to....I am finding the best thing for me is sleep! I feel fine while I am sleeping and decent for a half hour after I get up, so I am trying to rest as much as possible. I pray this is my easy pg......

Hopefully the heat and energy output was somewhat to blame for HG setting in, but it might not neccessarily go away, either. Probably not.

Try to make sure small frequent meals are going in (snacks, really), and that you try to stay hydrated.

You still have some room to adjust your Unisom dose - Max according to Motherisk is 75 mgs of Doxcilimine Succinate = 3 full Unisom tabs (blue breakable ones). Taking smaller (1/2 or 1/4) doses can reduce the sleepy affect (if you actually want it to). ;)

Keep me updated. I'm glad you were able to enjoy a vacation before the worst sets in.
