Week 12, Day 4
One of the absolute worst parts of HG is the lack of consistency. You are at the complete mercy of whatever your body decides to do that day. There is no correlation between what or when I have eaten, when I took my meds, how many liquids I have consumed, how much sleep I got, and how I feel. That's part of why "JUST EAT GINGER/CRACKERS" is so infuriating. If anything fucking worked I would have latched onto it like a thirsty leech, believe me. I do the same thing every day and some days I just can't function because I'm dry heaving or vomiting stomach acid into the toilet every couple of hours. Sometimes I get a placebo effect from some drink or food or routine for a few days and then it just...stops working. Sometimes the reflux just decides to be an asshole when I've eaten nothing interesting.
This is true for any illness or honestly, situation. Sometimes you'll do everything "right" and still suffer. I'm really depressed. I'm really nauseous. I'm in pain. Very few things help even a little, and nothing helps enough.
