[xx(

I had MS everyday, all day and night until 16weeks. I felt like you... that I just didnt have the energy to go on like that! My doc gave me metaclopramide. I dont know what you took before that might have caused problems.. but from my research the studies show that it doesnt pose any risk. It completely changed my life and allowed me to get out of the house- and helped my depression from feeling so sick all the time.
I also used the sea bands and I found these extremely helpful in my battle.they took most of the nausea away after 5 mins of putting them on! Got really sick of ginger- but it does help. ] ]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:42:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32330&PID=975344&title=natural-ms-remedies#975344 <![CDATA[Natural MS remedies : I tried a really good drink at...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32330&PID=974235&title=natural-ms-remedies#974235 Author: kmarie

I tried a really good drink at a friends the other day that I reckon it might be helpful for ms. It's a kapiti kitchen cordial (ginger & lemon) & it tastes homemade - sooooo good! It's a bit too late for me to see if it helps with ms, but I've found it online if you want to have a hunt around for it. You never know, it might do the trick! kapiti kitchen cordial

The other thing that I had right through for ms both times around, was the Baker Halls blackcurrant & cranberry fruit syrup. (Just from the supermarket) It has added vit c, folate, calcium & iron which I figured was a plus! I usually put some in the bottom of a mug and topped it up with hot water. Sipping away at it during the day really seemed to keep the nausea at bay.

Ooh and I was still nauseus @13wks when we went to the parent & child show - one of the stands gave me a free preggie pop and it really worked!

Hugs hun, it is hard to get past that patch of feeling so rotten - esp when for you it lasts longer. Bethany had a really rough patch that co-incided with my first trimester this time around (it involved lots of screaming and very little sleeping) so it's not uncommon, and it doesn't last forever I promise! Remember you can only do what you can do.

I found the preggie pops from Egg quite good (apart from the ginger ones – they made my MS worse!). There's also a MS herbal tea you can get. I haven't tried it but I drink a heartburn tea by the same brand which works really well.

Didn't work for me - but I heard that dry crackers, eaten in bed, before you even lift yuor head off the pillow can really work.

I see you have seabands - although it didn't take it away entirely it was the best thing for me.

(BTW - I am so happy to see you are expecting again! )

I liked chocolate milk, and also sour gummy lollies like sour worms, sour apple rings etc. They really seemed to help.

It's so the pits when you are kinda hungry, but a lot nauseous and you can't bring yourself to eat cos you're scared you'll see it again...

For the record, I found tomato based pastas were good on the way down and not too bad on the way up compared to some other foods!!]]> Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:50:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32330&PID=972167&title=natural-ms-remedies#972167 <![CDATA[Natural MS remedies : Accupuncture is awesome but it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32330&PID=971769&title=natural-ms-remedies#971769 Author: cealz

Oh no Stacey :(

Is choc milk helping this time??

With Caden I found salty things helped a bit, but other than that nothing, I just felt sick no matter what.

With Bella(as you know) I drank choc milk like crazy and used the morningmed spray(i still sue that stuff for any nausea i get!).

thats what my MW told me. I only really found out about it when I was 12 weeks and my MW said she didn't think there was much point in starting it then.

 

I found Ella went through that stage, but then she got pretty good at entertaining herself so it actually worked out pretty well because now she is quite happy to play by herself.

I didn't know that about the earlier you start accupuncture the better. Might have to check that out tomorrow as I believe someone at the mw clinic does it.

what about acupuncture? I haven't tried it,  but have heard other people who have had good success with it.

Also apparentely the earlier you start it, the better.

 

good luck, MS sucks especially when you have a toddler to look after.

I'm very reluctant to go down the medicated route with MS this time given what happened with Jared.. but me and MS become very well aquainted until I'm about 20w and thats a long time to feel like sh*t. I'm already over it and I've only just started 12 more weeks of feeling like this knowing its going to get worse is depressing at best.

So I'm trying to find every natural remedy I can in hopes it will help a bit..

So far I got:
- seabands
- naturopharm nauseamed which is nearly empty and I'll get the morningmed relief one next time
- blackmores ginger and B6

Are there any others?

I'm already doing the eat little and often thing and sticking to foods that agree with me and I suck on barley sugars pretty much all night cause it helps while they are in my mouth.]]> Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:41:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32330&PID=971061&title=natural-ms-remedies#971061
