Nausea, Poop and other TMI

Nausea is kicking my ass.  A few weeks ago I was nauseous 24/7.  I contacted my medical team and after confirming I was getting all my liquids in and taking a PPI they suggested I add an additional PPI in the morning for 3 days and call back if it didn't work.  It did seem to get better but here I am again...
It truly feels like I am pregnant.  I just have this gnawing sickness all day long.  This morning I came thisclose to tossing my cookies in the car on the way to daycare.  How I didn't, I have no idea.

Thing is, like pregnancy, I think the nausea *may* be a sign of hunger or thirst.  BUT when you feel like this the last thing you want to do is eat.  So, here I sit at work, nursing some scrambled eggs and cringing through every bite.  I really hope this goes away b/c I can't imagine living like this for the rest of my life.

I also seem to alternate between constipation and loose bowels.  This morning was loose, combined with holding back vomit in the car.  It's been a busy morning.

In other news, I'm wearing a pair of pants that I brought on my Honeymoon (5 years ago).  They fit perfectly except they are a little snug in the waistband (thank you, childbearing).
