My pregnancy with my son I also had the same issues , though not quite as bad.. and then when this whole thing really got bad, i had major GI issues (malabsorption).. I lost a ton of weight due to this, i was soooo scary thin.. I had a full GI workup - gastritis and esophagitis, otherwise normal.. it was presumed I had celiac.. now If I go too long without IVIG not only do the rest of my symptoms get worse, but so do my GI symptoms (they return)... very odd.. I am gluten free x 2 years now.. it seems to really help
Bless your heart!! I cannot imagine throwing up for 9 MONTHS!!

VERY interesting about the IVIG! I can't take the regular infusions -- will ask my neuro about the subcutaneous version at my next appt.

Thanks so much for the info!!
