My daughter has suffered for 6 years and is getting worse . Has had 4 stomach emptying tests all different and insurance will not cover treatment that is recommended due to these tests. There needs to be revisions to enable people to get help desperately needed. To date she has not received anything to stop her daily vomiting and inability to eat or drink
Gastroparesis has taken me from a driven 20 year old college graduate with amazing career options to a low income stay at home and work to stay alive woman. It dictates almost every aspect of my life and the lives of those around me. Without more research we are just managing symptoms with no chance of getting better. Every time I go to the hospital I am mistreated due to doctors not being properly educated in motility disorders. Please help before I get more sick and nothing can be done! I don’t wish GP on anyone and would do anything to make sure no one else had to suffer this way!!! Help me do that, please!!
Gastroparesis is a chronic debilitating disorder with no end in sight. It permeates every aspect of your life and your quality of life. It has searing, damaging effects on your family (my daughter) as she sees me repeatedly hospitalized or having visiting nurses who come weekly to infuse me with fluids to try and stave off the relentless dehydration. It is crushing her spirit as she sees me struggle.
My niece Desiree is currently fighting this disease and it has severely affected her health. The gas to be further funding and research towards curing this disease!
I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis in 2005. My life since then has been completely devastated. My children have had to watch me waste away and basically starve to death. It has taken a toll on our entire family. There are so many of us out here searching for any help we can get. . We are suffering, and we are starving for a cure.
