Emily was diagnosed with Gastroparesis in March of 2012, after battling stomach issues for years. Gastroparesis is from "gastro" which means stomach and "paresis" which means paralysis. She also has Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, which is is a disorder that causes sudden, repeated attacks of severe nausea and vomiting. She is a very active advocate for both conditions as she has started a successful blog, many different and popular support groups, pages for awareness on Facebook, and tries to bring positivity into everything she does. She tends to think outside of the box, often incorporating original ideas with scientific research to help others have a better understanding of the battles of a chronic, invisible illness.
