Today I met on video with Stanford health to address my stomach issues and to see what could be done. I had originally been diagnosed by my GI doctor with Gastroparesis. Today I was informed that the test they did to reach this conclusion was not fully accurate, and that I may not even have Gastroparesis, but something to do with my nervous system. To get a more accurate diagnosis, I will need drive several hours down to Stanford to do a four hour test, and an x-ray, and do an in person appointment because she couldn’t even check certain things through our online appointment.
I’m not really sure how to feel about all this. On one hand, I got to talk to a professional about my symptoms. On the other hand, she basically swiped the floor out from under my feet! Just as I was getting used to the idea of having Gastroparesis, and what that included (symptoms, diet, routine, I just found this app so I could have a community to talk to about living with Gastroparesis) the doctor tells me I might have something different! Now what am I supposed to do?! (She did suggest doing Tai Chi though, which I’m excited to try out because I haven’t been able to do yoga.) #Gastroparesis #gastroparesissucks #tummytroubles
