On several occasions in a major tertiary hospital I have been involved in
the care of women suffering severe hyperemesis treated effectively
with IV prednisone. I have seen at least four cases severe
enough to be treated this way. client condition very responsive where
all other treatments not helped. I understand this is only a
"short sharp" dosage of prednisone with some oral
follow reserved for severe case only. the dosage etc is a doctor
thing. but it certainly gave the women I have seen in this condition
some relief. NB care with too much maxalon and stemitil too much of
those can cause a reaction emergency crisis i have seen this
happen when once due to too much over a period of time.
good luck
hope you can find someone who knows about this management. all
the other traditional management as you outlined still applies .
