At first I just felt so unwell that I would have taken anything. I was really disappointed that prochlorperazine hadn't worked; I felt so tired and unwell. I was really happy to do this trial because someone was taking an interest in my symptoms. I felt that I was being given a treatment and being monitored just to see if it helped me, rather than just being given the routine treatment that might not work. I found the daily questionnaire really helped because I could see if my symptoms were getting better or worse. Before that it just felt all the same.
It was nice that I chose which symptoms were the most important to measure. This was a difficult pregnancy for me, and I was finding it difficult to cope with feeling ill and looking after my daughter. Even though the medication didn't work in the end, I don't regret doing the trial. It was helpful that someone took an interest in how I was feeling.(Sally Reynolds Nicola Har)
