Sorry to hear about your wife's hyperemesis.
This article is inflammatory and not well written...I have never known an OB or ED physician to call patients with hyperemesis 'pukers' or stated that it was psychological. Hyperemesis is not a rare diagnosis...only the very severe cases like these are rare. I think there's a dearth of drug research because doing therapy on pregnant women is fraught with liability and disasters...recall thalidomide.
