For the record, she's fine now. Our son is 7 and doing well. No more kids, though.

She's still active in the hyperemesis community, working with the Help HER foundation. She's been to to DC to speak to a congressional committee to try and get some funds set aside for research. Just today she was also on the Bill Carroll radio show on KFI in Los Angeles. I guess Bill Carroll's wife suffered from it.

I'm not the only mrfer married to a hyperemesis survivor, by the way.

That's great news. I wish you had introduced your thread with that.

[Mike Johnson]

Sorry, Grace.

Mike, I'm glad to hear your wife is well. I wish you the best. I'd never heard of morning sickness that severe. Thanks for spreading the word.

Ah, very cool. I'm glad to hear you guys aren't currently dealing with it.

I just told my wife about it. Now she is curious. Most likely will bring up the topic with her boss, a Ph. D. Pharm. tomorrow.
Sorry that your wife's has the condition. Hope she is feeling better soon.

Yep, sorry, due to delayed posting, mine came after the clarification. Sorry to hear this...

[Racer X]

sorry if I sounded callous. I just saw the pick and the caption. Never read the article, so I had no idea you had lost a child. My GF has had 2 misscarriages when she was married, and her sister-in-law has had 6, but she just had a healthy baby boy on the 19th. 7th time's a charm!

Well, it IS legal in Massachusetts...

Yikes ! Glad she's doing well, and your son is well.

When my lovely wife was pregnant with our now 12 year old son, she threw up every morning for the entire pregnancy. She only gained perhaps 5 lbs total, and that was by dint of forcing herself to eat 'for the baby'. The four earlier pregnancies (2 miscarriages, 2 children) had some minor morning sickness.

We never knew it was a named condition.

After two months of that she decided we were going to have permanent birth control so there would not be any more 'surprises'.

Have these poor women tried Maxalon?

I suppose they have and it didn't work for them.
