Feeling sick

[Bee Shine]

When I was in the US recently I bought these things Dr Lin told me about called Relief Bands for motion sickness. They are FDA approved (though you are supposed to get a script to use them if pregnant) but I just ordered it on the internet. It works like the usual sea sickness bands that you wear on your wrist, but instead of just resting on the acupressure points these ones have magnets and use a watch battery to emit small electrical pulses on the acupuncture point. I found that normal sea sickness bands take the edge of the worst of the vomiting for me but not enough to keep me out of hospital..... Hoping these work better. Are expensive ($289) but I'd pay 10 times that to make those 7 weeks (between 6wks and 13wks) bearable.

The other thing I am going to try is Ze Su Yi - its a chinese leafy herb you make tea out of and its supposed to work wonders. I figure it can't hurt to try. I am on a countdown now - I reckon I've got about 10 days before the sickness hits.

where do I get this!?

ugh! The sick feeling strikes me sharp at 4 pm everyday and lasts for 5 hrs. Thats when I have to get dinner rolling and pack luches etc. I feel nauseated, extemely tired, icky and jsut dont feel like doing anything. Only today it hit me early like 11. I was in a meeting and I thought I smelled alcohol and felt so yuk! I whispered to the collegue next to me if she smelled it too and she seemed shocked by my question..lol

I read ginger ale can work. I am sipping that right now and its ok. Def nothing magical about it.

Sorry to hear you are so ill.I get extreme morning sickness the whole 9 months so I empathise. All that sometimes helps me is to sip plain soda water,rest when you can (hard to do with other kids) & coca cola helps too sometimes.The bands didnt help me but I hope they can help you.
