I will be 36 weeks pregnant on Tuesday. I have had SEVERE sickness since I was 8 weeks. Doctor put me on Phenergan after about 4 months pregnant. When I hit my 3rd trimester sickness only got worse so now the doctor has me on Zofran. I’ve been the hospital twice allready because of the vomiting. 1st time I was not dehydrated, although my potassium was low due to the vomiting. Doctor gave me my 1st Zofran prescription. Medicaid will only pay for 8 pills a month!! So I was only taking one pill a day. Worked great I felt better and was actually eating. One night I got really sick and ended up in the hospital again. This time I was very dehydrated. Doctor gave me a new prescription and told me to get the prescriptions as much as I need them because of the Medicaid situation and the refills. Medicaid will pay for new prescriptions. So I got my pills and even though I never stopped throwing up completely because of heartburn, it was better. Now I ran out of pills again. Called the doctor’s office to get a prescription 2 days ago but the nurse never returned my call. Thing is that I spoke to them again today but I have to wait and see if the doctor makes it back to the office today so he can approve it. I’ve been taking my Phenergan meanwhile but they stopped working a long time ago. I’ve been throwing up a lot as you can imagine and don’t even know what to eat anymore. I don’t want to end up in the hospital again until Monday that the doctor comes in for sure. I just wish they would keep me in the hospital with an i.v. and medication none stop so that I never throw up again or that the doctor takes the baby out allready. It has messed up my throat so much that sometimes blood comes out too and it’s VERY painfull. I drink lots of water and try to eat crakers, bread, fruits, etc but there is NO controling it. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like it’s something serious, even though it is pregnancy related. But when you are this sick you just feel like you’re dying! I cry because I can’t handle it anymore and I don’t know what to do. Please help me. I can’t take it any longer! I feel like no one understands how horrible I feel and I’m desperate, miserable and feel like I’m slowly drying even though I know I’m not.
Sorry I wrote so much.
By me saying I would like the doctor to take her out allready doesn’t mean I will do something on my behalf to make it happend. 1st of, 2nd educate yourself because at this stage baby is strong enough to survive. You’re not in my shoes and you do not know what this feels like. Nobody understand because nobody feels like I do. I would never do anything to hurt my baby and I do want to keep her in as long as I have too. I just wish I didn’t have too because I’m too weak allready!
I am asking for advice on what can I do to feel better. If I wanted the baby out allready I wouldn’t be here asking you people, I would be in the hospital trying to get her out!!! I don’t mind my own child inside my body, the pains, the stretching, doesn’t bother me. What I am having a hard time dealing with has been the severe vomiting!!!! Gosh you people just make me upset!!

I have been reading over my medical records. I wake sometimes with a high pulse and go to the ER. I have been told:

PSVT
SVT
Right Axis Deviation
Sinus Tachycardia otherwise normal
ST Rhythm abnormal ECG
and even a Lateral Infarction!

I am only 26 and this is ridiculous. This is all from the same ER. I have also had a heart ultrasound and it was normal. All of my chest x-rays are normal except for one they noted a "pectus excavatum mild case" so I went to look up what this is and my chest looks nothing like that! I’ve never been told that before!

My diagnosis has been anxiety, low potassium/magnesium, PSVT. I was then told by one doctor who saw me I don’t have PSVT and they just don’t know why my heart rate is high when I wake up. I do notice every single one of my blood draws shows low Potassium/Magnesium, High Glucose (103-133 max when waking from a fast).

Is this hospital screwed up? What do I do? This is insane!
Maybe its because I am nervous and shake a little during the procedure? The lateral infarction was done by a medical student and it was noted they also gave me my IV. My diagnosis going home that day was a UTI with dehydration/low potassium/magnesium which was also given to me in the IV. Can low potassium/magnesium and an urinary infection screw with your heart rate? It gets 150’s at max during these episodes and scares the living heck out of me. It was 163 during the really flubbed up ecg because they made me very uncomfortable knowing it was a medical student. I kept calling for a doctor.

Is it safe and used simply as a preservative or filler or does the ingestion of magnesium stearate in supplements suppress the immune system and eventually lead to collapse of T cell membrane function and cell death ??

There too much conflicting information out there so it would be nice to get informed opinions from those who have extensive knowledge on this subject please.

Thanks for any help.

peace

also..does anyone know how to balance an equation like this?

I think 1 banana for breakfast
Add 1 banana to your lunch

and add banana to your dinner as well as some spinach

Would that be enough? Can you also have a test done by a doctor to check your potassium levels.

(If someone has a potassium deficiency and is trying to maintain a healthy diet to make up for the amount lost due to being a celiac. )

My wife nearly died of potassium loss in her body(from sickness,throwing up). Beyond the commonly known things like bananas, potatoes, and Gatorade, what would be other food or drink sources of potassium(ie. not a supplement)? Any spices like cayenne pepper or other? My wife is a picky eater and Im trying to find options that might fit with her style(just trying to be all-inclusive of all types, you know). Thanks.

What are the diseases, after it outbreak, the patient will be dehydrated and low in potassium?

Please do not critise the formulars i fed her, I currently sticking with proplan as it works for her. Also please note as I’m aussie we do NOT have the fancy holistic brands available in america and uk, also please note I am NOT rich!
She not allergic to corn, as corn is also in the proplan and she gets NO allergies.
If she was allergic to corn, she have allergies with this forumlar too.
She not allergic to the chicken meat and she not allergic to rice.
I’m thinking she could be allergic to some of these ingredients in the advance formular
Tomato powder, Lucerne meal and marigold meal)
-dogs are not true carnivores! They are omnivores! Another fact is we don’t have the brands listed-Only eagle pack and royal canin and are totally out of my price range! Other then that We do not have any of the grain free foods-Remember the owner of dog food anaylsis is NOT a vet and she/he DOES NOT HAVE A DEGREE IN VETERINARY NUTRITION! I do not believe in total grain free food, they need some grains for proper bowel function.

My 13month old son is obsessed with eating bananas, like a lil monkey, lol. He is eating at least 3 whole bananas by himself a day and I am afraid to let him eat any more than that, which I am sure he would. Is there any danger in letting him eat bananas, like an overdose in potassium or anything that I need to be worried about?
He eats all kinds of fruits and veggies all day… So its not just the bananas…. he loves peaches and pears, strawberries, kiwi, apples, tangerines, but he just freaks out when he can’t get a banana, even if he sees them at Walmart, lol.
