how to hide m/s symptoms when not public abt pregnancy yet?

I'm going to a bookclub tonight w/ women from work. i'm only 6w 2d and we're not out yet about the pregnancy.
i have m/s- i'm queasy all day.
i can't bring things w/ me that help w/ the symptoms, b/c that would be a dead give-away.
i'm also worried about strong coffee smells setting me off.

does anyone have any suggestions of how to mask the m/s?

TIA!

Wish I could help but I have had no luck - let me know if you find a way I have been dealing with horrible MS for the past 4 weeks now and have had client meetings, court appearances, etc. - it has been absolutely horrible!! I have kept saltines in my bag so I can chew on some when I start to feel really bad (I excuse myself to go to the bathroom) but nothing really works...
Since you are going to a book club, there may not be rules about food so maybe you can bring pretzels or crackers and tell them you are "starving" and "missed lunch" or something like that. You can also try having a cold or hot (need to figure out which one makes you feel better) drink and sip from that. I find that milk helps be at night sometimes...
Good luck!

thanks!

i think pretzels would be safe and not give me away like saltines would...
i'll sip water too.

i'm not a coffee or wine drinker anyway, so if i don't have either it won't look suspicious.

thanks gals!

i've been wearing seabands (like what u wear on a cruise) and that takes the edge off, but i can't wear them tonight, it would look really odd and be hard to explain.
