Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

I have been home from work since ( and including) last Friday.

Im VERY naseaous almost all day long. Im on the zofran 3x a day.

I have been keeping some food down...Id say I am managing about 2 meals a day and usually one will stay down. It just hurts afterwards from the severe nausea...but it does stay down.

When I talk too much I feel naseous.

The Dr knows Im experincing this and really had no suggestions.

im scared about my job and losing it...

But I havent called the Dr in the last week because I dont think theres anything they can do for me.

Should I call??

Thanks for the advice

DR H is on vaca this week, but Dr Dolisi is taking her patients. It cannot hurt to call just to see if there is something that can help.

Feel better

Personally, I'd call the doctor at the very least you can get a Dr's note.

By the way, does your job have FMLA? Because if they do then you can't get fired for staying home b/c of a pregnancy related issue. Mine doesn't, so I always have to haul my hiney in here, but I read that in Your Pregnancy Week by Week and it stuck with me.

Feel better, I had such a bad day yesterday I totally feel your pain

so sorry you are having to deal with this. I have very bad M/S still do at 23 weeks. I only missed 1 day because of it but I do work from home when I feel really bad.

If you can take FMLA do it. Or can you go out on disability? My OB is not big on that but yours may do it for you so you can still get paid.

How many weeks are you?

Call..tell them you are feeling horrible and weak and cant even speak without feeling very sick..
I seriosly think you are dehydrated and you may need tome fluids via IV..

feel better

I just hate calling to bother them. LOL

1st of all, don't feel this way!!! Just think, there's always another worried mommy calling more times than you are You're sick! You need help! They're doctors.... CALL THEM!

Re: Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

you should def. call them! don't feel like you are ever bothering them. That's their job!

Re: Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

call. i WISH i had demanded more from my last pregnancy in this area. there are times that i know i should've been hospitalized if only to get fluids in through an IV. i would call and my dr. would say "just rest" but i mean, i wasn't eating! you are already on pretty tough meds, no one should think you are faking this.

UGHHHHHHHHHH

So I call( someone is gonna call me back)

But the one who answers the phone, I tell this all too and she tells me to eat 5-6 small meals a day? I said thats impossible, Im barely doing 2 meals and am lucky if I keep one down.

She says well thats what you need to do to feel better.

Are you kidding?

Re: Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

Have they diagnosed you with anything. If not you may have something called HYPEREMESIS. Not all docs are familiar in how to treat it unfortunately. It will make you dehydrated.

When eating meals you may have to try really bland food, toast seems to work and hyperemesis patients at times respond to grilled cheese sandwiches for some reason.
Ask your doc abolut hyperemsis and see what he/she says.

If they tell you to go to the ER tell them that you want to go to a lab and have your bloods drawn to check your electrolytes first. Then if you are in fact dehyrdated you can go to the ER.

Donna - did they call you back? What did they say?

Re: Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

Ok - I don't want to sound like a total idiot here - but - maybe you can take half of the pill and that won't make you as nauseous. I always got nauseous when I took aleve. It would make me sick as he!!. Maybe that's what is contributing to you feeling this way - instead of making you feel better?

Re: Should I call the Dr ( M/S related)

donna have you been gaining or losing weight??
