gastroparesissucks

Took pain meds for a headache almost two hours ago and haven’t felt any effects. Realized my stomach is taking it’s own sweet time getting the medication through my system. Now I have a headache AND a tummy ache.😩 #Gastroparesis #gastroparesissucks

Has any one experienced increased sensitivity to motion, cases of vertigo, and not being able to have anything causing pressure on their stomach like a waistband or belt? I swear the list of frustration a just keeps getting longer as time goes on.

My wife made steak for dinner. I have been looking forward to it for the past two weeks...and all I can do is smell it because I am so nauseous...

Today I received news I should’ve received 6 years ago.. yes 6. I have had stomach issues that have been crippling all this time and I’ve had to push and shove every step. I started out being told I had anorexia as I dropped 30 lbs within weeks. Then I went to a 3 GI specialist who all said I had a functional disorder (aka something’s wrong but we don’t know what and don’t want to figure it out). I find a video on YouTube about a year back of someone with a very similar story to mine, and she had gastroparesis.. from then on I pushed and pushed to just be tested, and no one would listen. I finally got a doctor who didn’t care what he sent me for, and I come back with.. low and behold, gastroparesis. I even had to fight for my POTS diagnosis. The sad fact is so many people have to sit and fight their way to a diagnosis in this day and age because doctors don’t seem to care about our wellbeing anymore... it makes me sad to see people suffering like me with no help from the people who are the ONLY ones that can help the most.. #Gastroparesis #gastroparesissucks #AutonomicDysfunction #LivingWithPOTS

I sit here and wonder if it could have been prevented. I had a virus that completely attacked my digestive system and my body has never and may never recover. The aftermath has been so damaging to my body and my mind. I feel like this has made me become more bitter as a person. One night my entire life changed, and now I’m fighting to take back control. I know mine isn’t as severe as others are. I just needed to vent
