I suffer from gastrointestinal problems and have recently been diagnosed with gastroparesis but after only trying medications that did not work the idea was changed. Based on what sounded like very little knowledge. I am home and struggling because there isn’t enough research out there to help diagnose these things let alone treat and maybe cure. I have suffered since I was a child with the same problems, now age makes it difficult to handle. I have a daughter who just turned 12 years old. I have a life to return to. I’d rather be worrying about my daughter than fighting and getting frustrated and depressed because I am afraid I may pass before she turns 18. I cannot afford a life change life is hard enough without the uncertainty of life.. please raise more awareness, look more into it. Spread all these stories. I’m broken from having to watch my daughter shed tears every time I return from the hospital as if she’s expecting me not to return one day. She’s scared and she’s young. Please.
