What is my daily life like living with gastroparesis?

My daily life is me laying on the couch or bed, stinking from not having the energy to shower.

Taking all day to do a few dishes, begging people for toilet paper, etc.. because I cannot work.

It causes daily anxiety because I never know what the day will bring as far as symptoms.

Gastroparesis daily for me is the biggest, saddest, most desperate needing illness that needs better treatments and a cure.

Gastroparesis is a daily battle that is hard to fight alone.

What is my daily life like living with gastroparesis?

My new normal is not normal. I cannot work. I’m on disability, have been since 2014. I am fed via Jtube about 50% of the time, though that fluctuates with flares. When I can tolerate foods by mouth, they are very limited in quantity, and always very bland. Most of my time is spent in bed due to fatigue, pain, lack of sleep, and generally feeling unwell. I’m always in pain. I don’t vomit since I have the gastric stimulator, but still often have nausea, though not as severe as before getting the stimulator. I get migraines almost everyday due to lack of sleep from being in pain all the time. It never ends.

Pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and or constipation, malnourished, headaches, body hurts, fatigue, muscle cramps, blood sugar bottoms out, hair breaks off and or falls out, kidney failure, UTI’s double vision, anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness.
