I am IV dependent on TPN for daily nutrition

I was first diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2016, but had be subjected to over twenty-five surgeries pre-diagnosis. Since my diagnosis I have lost my ability to be tube fed and I am IV dependent on TPN for daily nutrition. As of today we have no real cures and barely any symptom control. Please, support H. R. 3396 to help those of us with gastroparesis live a full life. I am a fulltime nursing student and hope to use the remainder of my life on Earth to assist others who are struggling with this life altering disease. Thank you for your time and God Bless you and your efforts to help us find the cure that could potentially save thousands of lives.
