Hyperemesis gravidarum

Hi, I'm 17 wks and was just diagnosed with HG. Anyone else experience this and have any suggestions as to how to deal? I'm feeling completely defeated by this pregnancy with such a long ways to go yet. I'm taking diclectin and even that isn't helping much and have been close to hospitalization for dehydration and headaches. I'm off work on sick leave and being monitored closely by my doctor. I'm just getting bummed out and want to feel normal again.

I had hg my whole first pregnancy and my 1st trimester this go round. I was on zofran,  phenegran,protonix and reglan. Nothing worked until I got closer to my 2nd tri and the zofran worked with the protonix. I still take protonix and zofran and im 30 weeks. It is sooooo  easy to feel defeated but just find something that always brings you peace. For me at my lowest I had to have myself a good cry....like gooood snot everywhere eyes puffy cry and listen to gospel music. I was ready to give up but I made it through. If you pray...keep praying.and take each day as it comes. You can do it.

I'm on zofran for it. I feel horrible all the time, my doctor brought up putting me in the hospital today but instead she's letting me come back in a week. I just wish the throwing up would end I was hoping at 12 week's it would like most but that was4 weeks ago and it hasn't slowed much
