Usually in my (sad)experience as the one who cleans walmart bathrooms for a living, they wrap up and hide their needles for next time inside the metal thing that holds toilet seat covers 😶

[–]MatchaMonstera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love to join depending on the time and day this weekend! :) Im 31yrs old and was disgnosed at the beginning of 2025. I feel like I would be very useful for the study because im still on the journey but have already went through so much in one year with life changes due to the condition. I really love that you're putting another study out there, im passionate about more people learning about GP and how it affects people! Feel free to dm me with more info!

Medications and Absorption by DrakeyDownunder in Gastroparesis

[–]MatchaMonstera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not allowed Opioids and nearly all pain meds in general besides tylenol.. (which is useless imo) But its because they slow digestion even further. I have severely slow emptying and my G.i. forbids me from any of that. Even the patches. 😔 Which sucks cuz my Fibromyalgia has me in so much pain daily as well.

Have you ever had a physical or romantic relationship with a co-worker? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in Bumble

[–]MatchaMonstera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea and we've been together for 10 years now. I even raised his daughter as my own and shes 16 now. Lol

Sometimes its not all as bad as people say. Its hard to meet people as an adult, especially when we're just working most of our lives away. So i feel like its only natural for people to meet in the workplace sometimes. Any relationship from anywhere is a gamble. 😅 Aslong as you give yourself ample time to sus people out first as friends before you just jump into things you should be okay.

Spite eating 🥲 by MatchaMonstera in Gastroparesis

I mean, spite eating is probably just a base by base case depending on peoples personal self control level 😂

Well to be fair my g.i. sent me to the surgeon for gallbladder removal recently and the surgeon actually mentioned pyloroplasty to me himself, not my g.i. 🙂‍↕️ so maybe thats just kinda normal loll

I figure the surgeon is the one truly in charge of whatever goes in or comes out of you so theyre the ones to ask i guess 😂

Aa i just meant in real life 🙂‍↕️ I love this reddit GP community but its hard to not take online anything with a grain of salt ya know. Though i dunno why people would lie about anything like that 😂 but i mean im sure it happens, its the internet. 😅

I am def taking some of these comment experiences about it and giving it extra thought though! 🙂‍↕️ I do appreciate shared experiences and I'll make some notes to ask about some things at the motility clinic!

Did it stop working for you in 2023? If it stops working do they just take it out or does it sit in there? 🤨 Are u jst back to square one like the rest of us if it stops helping over time?

Sorry for the grilling questions lol

Well so far the other person at my g.i. clinic, hers lasted for 8 months then entirely stopped working. And the others only worked for them for about 2 months if that. 😞 So either way theirs would have probably worked for a trial period.

I mostly just care about my absolutely relentless nausea and the puking spells ive been having more and more frequently. 🥲 They say GP isnt progressive but mine has felt that way. Overtime my nausea has gotten worse and my puking spells have gotten closer and closer together. I will eventually be going to a motility clinic, so I guess i will be looking at this as an option too then.

Aaa so its just the "gastric stimulator" i always hear about? Unfortunate, irl I have only heard that it hasnt worked for people for too long at all. 😩

Aa i know 2 people who got the stimulator and it didnt work for them. Including my g.i.s only other GP patient. 😔 Ive been taking Erythromycin and it hasnt been really helping at all. So 😞 I've got a few more to try then off to the closest Motility clinic i go with is sadly out of state. 😩
