One thing that we are looking into is working with Matria Healthcare to possibly get a pump (similar to an insulin pump diabetics use) put into my thigh that would constantly administer a consistent level of medication into my system. This would help to hopefully eliminate the nausea, gain weight and hopefully get me to a point where I could return to my normal daily activities!! They have reported results of the program to have a:
- 78 percent increase in weight gain or stabilization
- 89 percent reduction in nausea and vomiting symptoms
- Decrease in the number of people admitted to the hospital before Matria’s NVP program from 65.4 percent to 3.3 percent
I should be hearing back soon to see if this is something my insurance would cover, otherwise I will not be able to get it as it is $300-$400 per day!
