Severe morning sickness...?

I started getting morning sickness at 6 weeks and its gradually getting worse, today I turned 7 weeks and its becoming unbearable, lasting all day and night. I haven't had a prenatal appt yet and wont for another 3 or so weeks so I cant really ask a doctor since the OB is 2 hours away and I've never seen her before. I have tried ginger ale, water, small meals (I can barely eat, living off crackers), eating crackers with peanut butter before bed, eating some crackers as soon as I wake up and I cannot get this to calm down at all. I thought I had bad morning sickness with my son 11 years ago but it didn't even compare to this! Anyone have any other options?

TMI ALERT -

Also I have been having diarrhea, which is something I didn't experience with my son either. Anyone else have this?

Update:

Also just walking to a different room sends me over the edge, I can smell things REALLY strong that nobody else can even smell.

    Just laying down with a cold face cloth on your face might help. Whatever medicines you take would transfer to the baby. The morning sickness wont last much longer.

    Try candied ginger root, you can find it in the natural food section often in the bulk bin or spices or in candy/dried fruits, it will help a great deal. If you get dehydrated do go to the ER, you can get quite ill (it is called hyperemesis gravidum - kick *** morning sickness essentially and it isn't uncommon just not fun).
