I am so tired of it. I've done, ginger, lavendar, high protein, acupressure sea bands non stop, acupuncture every week, eating early, eating small, eating frequently, resting, relaxation, puking, deep breathing, eating what I feel "I'm in the mood for", no greasy foods, no carbonation, etc, etc, etc.
Nothing works, and I feel terrible!!!! I puke at least 4 times a day. I've lost about 10 lbs and I'm only 9 weeks pregnant, Anything I eat, I see again, except for an egg this morning, a banana I shared with my 18 MO, and.....well, that's it.
My hub works M-F and he can't take off to cover for me, he did take off one week already and that was wonderful, but I still puked a lot. My house is a mess, I have laundry from a week ago, waiting to be folded, my kitchen gets to be horrible, as in, stinky, dishes everywhere, more dirty dishes than food, pots and pans on stove with old food. Once I get enough energy to clean it, I do, and then I go puke, and am done for the rest of the day. I'm not talking major clean, just doing the dishes and wiping the counter clean.
Last preg, I was said to have HG, and I was on Zofran, and it did help, I still felt crappy, but I didn't puke near as much. I like to think I can make it till this is over without it, as I don't want to use any meds, but I don't see me doing this another 3 weeks at least. Last time it wasn't till 6 mo that is stopped.
I know, I know, take it one day at a time, I'm taking it one hour at a time. I've already made my son switch from one 2 hr nap to two 1.5 hr naps a day so I can rest, and hubby gets up with him at night, and takes over when he gets home.
Someone tell me you are going through the same thing!!! I feel so alone, I hardly leave the house, and the thought of it is just not worth running to the bathroom again.
SIGH

If the Zofran helps, take it. I had some weird side effects from it (extreme anxiety) but no one who hasn't been there can judge you, and those of us who have been there will tell you to do whatever you can to feel better. Stay hydrated (even if that means going in and getting a bag hooked up), hire help if you can (a homeschooled teen to hang out with DS for a few hours?) and trust that this will end. Make peace with today, but trust that you are not facing 20 more years of this, just (at most) a handful of months. 
and also the recommendation to check out the helpher.org forums. No one else really understands hyperemesis like these ladies do. I am finally "better" after 27 weeks, but am not completely okay until after I have my baby. This, my 3rd, has been my best in terms of HG. It's so crazy. I just wanted to share that zofran gave me migraines, and that if I had access to a safe, clean source of the Mother Herb, I would have definitely gone for that. I wish I could find the article -- I think it was on MSN quite a while ago about a mother who treated her son (maybe with autism?) with MJ. She made a very mild tea. Let me look quickly... couldn't find the one I wanted, but here is a video:
