Steroid course helping
I’m 16 + 4 today. After throwing up 6-15 times a day for the last 10 weeks, 5 ER visits, infusion center visits, getting a PICC line, daily infusions at home, and a Zofran pump I finally found something that helped. My maternal fetal medicine doctor admitted me to hospital on Tuesday to start a course of IV steroids and transition to oral steroids. We’re going to do a long taper of oral steroids. I literally feel normal again. I feel hunger, not nausea. I feel happy, not hopeless and in despair. I have color to my skin. I’m smiling again.
Please, if you have treatment resistant HG, talk to your doctors about possible steroids. I know a lot of women here say their symptoms return once a taper begins but how beautiful to feel normal for even a week after almost 3 months of pure hell
