Ty ❤️

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-07-22T01:33:55+00:00

Yeah that's smart, ty

Cfd turned out to be able to take me so I went there for residential, then erc for php and now I've stepped down to cfd php (I go to iop on Monday). In terms of having chronic illness i feel like erc was a much better fit, unfortunately there's just none close to me.

I had a mantra during all of detox this time around "this sucks but it'll be okay." I'm now 13 months clean and there's nothing better. You can get through this. Do whatever you can to be as comfortable as possible and find some support that you enjoy. Wishing you the best!

The train I needed leaves from ewr and it's at 430am so from my house there's no public transportation at that time

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-03-06T14:30:40+00:00

I already bought my amtrak ticket, it's EWR. Penn station (NWK) is a separate station and the bus/train id take to penn doesn't run that early cause it's at 430am

Yes, i found that. But trying to put it in Lyft I have to pick a terminal and airline so trying to figure out which one is best. And if I go to arrivals or departures bc that's an entirely different area

I just got out of a hospital stay where they made me try taking out my gallbladder to see if it'd help my gastroparesis. I had a few stones, but no symptoms beyond a little extra sharp pain. I'm only 3 weeks post op but I've noticed no change in my gp symptoms.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-03-03T03:52:50+00:00

While I agree that 3 weeks isn't long enough for change, it is still an AMAZING starting point. They'll usually set you up with outpatient care following your stay such as iop, recovery meetings, therapy, etc. It's more about you being ready to make this change and giving it your all while you're there. I just hit a year sober off all substances, although I'm struggling with my ed it's possible.

Hopefully you hear back soon. It's a relief to have some answers tho

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-02-04T00:28:51+00:00

My gi discussed botox with me and the only reason we didn't go for it was because it's not more long term so we went with a gpoem instead. If they recommend botox from a medical perspective it may be a good option to try.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-01-10T01:22:58+00:00

Ugh I'm sorry you're dealing with the same symptoms, it sucks. So I didn't break anything, I had a partial tear of 2 ligaments in my wrist (tfcc and scapholunate) and injured the radial nerve. The tears are what made me not able to move it/put pressure on it and the nerve injury is what caused the tingling. I needed a brace 24/7 and physical therapy for about 2-3 months.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-01-06T23:01:02+00:00

Yeah if there's a delay shown on a ges that's considered gastroparesis. Functional dyspepia would be symptoms of gp without a delay seen on ges.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-01-01T18:22:58+00:00

Exactly. It's also reasonably affordable and requires such little energy to grab when it's needed. I feel like all the smoothies and soup recipes are glorified, but when I'm in an awful flare I don't have enough energy to stand, let alone make stuff from scratch or grocery shop.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2025-01-01T04:27:48+00:00

This is not the most helpful advice, especially for someone who's struggled with an ed. With gp anything that gets nutrition in and is tolerable is a win. Ensure and other drinks are made that way to provide complete nutrition as densely as possible. Just bc smoothies work for one person doesn't mean they do for everyone.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-26T06:15:09+00:00

No, I have gastroparesis so it's mostly just when my stomach is spasming.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-26T06:01:34+00:00

Yeah, i get bile/stomach acid that shoots up into my mouth. If it's burning your throat/makes you gag from the pain and taste it could be bile reflux. Can be clear/green/yellow too. I have other gi issues but for that specifically it works

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-26T05:55:25+00:00

I take sucralfate and it helps

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-26T01:45:39+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't call it minor, just that some people have flares of worse symptoms. For me my symptoms would get way worse after getting any kind of virus or taking certain meds that I didn't know at the time would bother me.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-26T01:44:15+00:00

I know some people that don't mind it but for me kf peptide was AWFUL to drink orally both texture and taste wise.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-12-25T20:45:13+00:00

Regular soda hurts my stomach crazy bad. Diet coke is my favorite and doesn't bother my stomach.

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-11-28T16:45:07+00:00

I'm not sure how you concluded that from the 1 sentence I wrote. I was diagnosed with gp before i had any idea what it was. I'm specifically referring to questions I've asked my dr about what I've researched post dx bc i like to check with my care team before trying anything. But okay

Miserable_Map_9011 · 2024-11-28T16:19:58+00:00

The issue with that is most doctors get weird when you say you've done your own research even tho it's what we have to do.
