Between the cracks #Gastroparesis #MedicalTrauma #ChronicIllness

I am experiencing what many chronic illness patients face...falling through the cracks of healthcare. I have ideopathic gastroparesis with intractable nausea. I have failed all conventional treatment modalities. When I flare (n/v/d), it is up to me to get the standing labs my dr has available, to make sure I am safe to stay at home. It is often up to me to review the lab results and seek appropriate care. I have managed to survive despite the healthcare system. Why do drs want to give up on patients who are hard to treat? Why does it take a serious complication to get care? How is an ER md going to know how to treat a complicated chronic illness patient? Its a completely demoralizing system and an isolating scary experience.

Time for a RESET! 📬 📝 📥

👋🏼 Hello to all the amazing GP Warriors here!

So I have heard the word RESET quite often and especially since the new year. Like everyone i have been dealing with….life’s curveballs for longer than I expected, wanted to and still dodging a few and working on the others.

Let’s get this group back up and active!

Talk, vent, ask, offer, complain, suggest whatever is on our minds and get some helpful, meaningful, fun and other kinds of conversations going!

I'm new here!

Hi! I’m Ashley and am new here! I suffer from severe mental health and physical health issues. I am excited to have joined this platform and officially be an “Mighty” lol. I’m pretty unfamiliar with this app/website but I am super hyped to learn the different things to do on here! Because I’m just getting started, does anyone have any tips, some cool things you can do on The Mighty and if you’re a fellow spoonie/dealing with similar issues I do too? Maybe I can make some friends that truly get these struggles…because we all know that nobody gets it like the ones that live it…aka US. I look forward to meeting any future friends!! Again please reply with any helpful information or to let me know of others on here dealing with the same things please!♡
