You'll not find me saying you're lucky!! It really IS hell!! I had hyperemesis (but not quite that bad) with my twins and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! For me it lasted the whole pregnancy but I'd like to hope that SOME of that had to do with it being twins. My cousin had it as bad as you describe with both of her pregnancies and even ended up with the dreaded nasal feeding tube and occasionally IV nutrition. She decided two was enough for her family. I wish I had some ideas for you, but its a nasty beast taht's hard to fight. If nothing else I'll give you some {{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}] and let you know you're not alone. Hang in there!! :)
