I have a sister-in-law is greatly suffering from the above condition -- basically a severe and constant condition of morning sickness.
She is on medication, but I hope that maybe someone out there knows of treatment outside of those prescribed by doctors.
Secondly, she would be greatly relieved if a nurse could come to her house and put her on a drip -- a service available in the US, but not here in Australia as we're always several years behind at least.
We have someone who is trained in blood collection and therefore can administer the needle into the vein. We can purchase a standard 1000 ml saline drip bag. I will look where to obtain the other necessary parts, but I'm looking for advice on what these other parts are, how to put it all together, what are the safety precautions, what should the drip rate be and how it is set, how much hydration she needs, what other nutrients she needs (she practically doesn't eat, doesn't drink enough, and vomits at least several times a day), and how these nutrients are added to the saline.
Maybe someone with experience of self-administration of supplements via IV can help?
