how did you deal with ms at work?

I'm only about 6 weeks so no one knows yet. Certain smells are THE worst trigger for me - especially cigarettes that the girl next to me always reeks of.

I'm getting to the point that I feel constantly nauseous. I'm trying too keep drinking and eating small things and chew gum and suck on ginger candies as much as possible.

What did you tell work people and what are you tips to ease the nausea?

how did you deal with ms at work?

Carbs, ginger ale, small meals, lots of bathroom trips. For me my boss and the kids that worked for me knew, but I had to serve customers dessert and was often alone in the store. And since I hate peanut butter you know we had a run on peanut butter milkshakes. It was difficult. I bought a bagel every day I worked.

i have barely been surviving at work, home or anywhere else.

I have thrown up in my garbage multiple times. I keep crackers at my desk. Sweet jucies seems to help temporarily so I have juice boxes in the fridge.

I wish i had better tricks for you, but not much helps. everyone asks me why i never call in sick... well i would be out of sick time by now and would have been out sick for 7.5 weeks already! LOL

Oh lemonade helped, but some people say it makes them sicker. So try it at home first.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

I hid it pretty well at work. Only thing that some said made them curious is that I was a pretty strict and healthy eater pre-preg and when they saw ginger ale and a sleeve of saltines, they wondered.

I found that eating something as soon as I woke up helped. Whatever it was that I could tolerate. I ate A LOT of toast, still do. I would also take small breaks to walk outside for fresh air and I always had ginger ale with me. Good luck, it really does suck. Once I hit my 2nd tri, it pretty much disappeared so fingers crossed for you!

I had to tell the teacher that works next door to me because I was getting sick everyday, all day, so I was constantly needing her to watch my class when I had to run to the bathroom. Try to keep snacks near you and take sips of ginger ale often.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

I never had any MS but I was a bit queasy in the begninning- and VERY VERY sensitive to smells.

Saltines helped. I kept a bunch of sleeves of them in my desk.
And sucking on lemon candy and/or mints.

I was miserable. Smells are a trigger for me too, 3 people next to smoke and I can't stand the smell. The dr eventually gave me a script because my neausea was killing me.

I was so nauseous. I'd snack all day long. It helped temporarily but mostly I was just uncomfortable. I hope you feel better soon!

Ginger ale and oddly enough sour patch kids were the only things that eased my nausea when I was pregnant with DS.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

Cold Lemonade with DS was my saving grace. Lots of bathroom trips and always had bags in my purse and car. When it hit me sometimes there was no time.

Popping IceBreakers Strawberry flavored mints. Killing my teeth though.

I would just throw up at work if I have to. It is what it is.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

Very cold applesauce and cold lemonade.
Also, find what foods you feel like eating and try and tolerate them. I found that everything made me nauseous except for pizza, hummas and crackers, applesauce, OJ and lentil soup lol that's all! I would snack on these things and avoid the stuff that would turn my stomach. When I had long patient days, I wore sea bands and had peppermints. Helped a ton.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

I just went to the bathroom and threw up, LOL. Only my boss knew at around 5 or 6 weeks and she used to bring me ginger ale after I had been throwing up, so cute! But Id just do what I had to do, waited until it was all clear then exited the stall so no one knew who was in there, LOL.

Re: how did you deal with ms at work?

small meals, preggie pops and drops, and mint tea. The mint tea especially may help because of the smell- may cancel out whatever nastiness is blowing your way. Otherwise you may want to consider carrying around a little satchel of lavendar with you or get some tea tree oil or peppermint oil to put on your wrists. Feel better!!
