Hi,
I live in Warminster, PA and am so sorry to hear that you are suffering. HG is a debilitating disease...I don't know how I survived it, but I am now the proud mom of a 17 month old daughter. When I first got pregnant, I was so happy and thought that my experience would be wonderful and natural as I didn't think that pregnancy was a "disease". I started with Midwifes out of Doylestown, and they said things like, "We don't think you are sick enough yet for additional help", and "have you seen a therapist about how you feel?". It was horrible...thankfully I was able to connect with Dr. Scott Dinesen who practices out of Doylestown Hospital. Even though he couldn't make me feel better, he tried everything and he believed in how sick I was...He is a great Doctor...when you call his practice insist on seeing him and not waiting for a "preview" appointment where you have to go in as if you are not sick with HG. You can use my name if you want to...he said I was the sickest patient he had ever worked with...Please let me know how you are managing and if there is anything I can do to help you or any questions I can answer...
Dr. Dinesen
