Morning Sickness

And I ain't even pregnant, y'all.

I'm suffering from nausea from this new drug. It feels just like morning sickness. I thought I was through with that mess. I'm back to eating plain bean burritos like I do at the beginning of my pregnancies. I'm drinking powerade and dry heaving in parking lots and my yard.

My experience with side effects is mostly that they abate after awhile, so I'm keeping at it. I'll change from taking them in the morning to taking them at night (Hey! Just like prenatal vitamins!).

Eww I am so sorry to hear that you feel sick. I always feel sick to my stomach so I'm thinking pregnancy is going to be worse.

I hope you start feeling better!

I hate hate hate side effects. I hope yours go away pretty quickly! Side effects are always the main thing that keep me from changing or getting a new drug even when I need to. I had some really bad ones with one of the drugs I tried. I was lovely for a few weeks - sweating, farting, really bad breath. I thought I am doing this so I can be nice to my husband and family who don't even want to be around me with this lovely stuff! :)

ick.
that just sucks.

But I lost 15lbs from morning sickness... so maybe there's an upside?

I am sorry about the side effects. I don't just randomly vomit these days like I used to, but a couple of gallon zip-loc freezer bags (with a few paper towels inside to ... um, disguise stuff ...) in my purse, car, etc have saved me more times than I care to count!

Oh Awful! I'm sorry! This is my biggest fear of the next coming months - though mine will not be drug related! Ha! Drug related! I hope it goes away soon! And it better work well to have to go through those side effects!

Do you need a milky way & coke delivery?

1. My heart skipped a beat when I read the subject line. Who doesn't want more Jen+Andy spawn in this world? (Maybe you, but I'm talking about the rest of mankind now.)
2. Lori, that is very good advice and if I ever enter a puking stage, I'm going to use it.
