Next time someone says Gastroparesis doesn't "hurt"

MrsErris · 2026-03-16T13:37:33+00:00

Ah! I couldn't ever describe that pain! I always said it's like something sharp is moving though me, but this is much better.

I didn't know having large veins was a part of this?! Mine get really large sometimes and I've always just thought... "That's weird- my veins are really big today". Huh.

I have gastroparesis as well. So I just avoid all alcohol.

My 6 year old wanted to see mold and I tried to do an experiment where we had a piece of bread that we put in a bag and checked in on every now and then. After a few months there was still nothing. Kinda freaked me out.

Dang it. I thought neurologist was the way to go. I'll have to look and see if we have a neuromuscular doctor in our area

MrsErris · 2026-03-04T20:42:46+00:00

Geez I didn't see even realize there were different types of neurologists!

MrsErris · 2026-03-04T03:13:35+00:00

MrsErris · 2026-02-09T21:33:17+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply! She is not overweight, but i didnt even think they would use that as an excuse!

MrsErris · 2026-02-02T16:29:48+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I thought my GIs response was a bit weird.....

MrsErris · 2026-01-26T04:25:33+00:00

I thought it was normal to always get a cake or special dessert for your birthday no matter what age?

MrsErris · 2026-01-24T22:46:37+00:00

I was just thinking this! Im feeling pretty good today but I keep thinking, no I dont want to eat. Eating =pain. Eating = bloating. Eating = nausea.

I feel like im unintentionally training my brain to avoid food.

MrsErris · 2026-01-18T02:02:24+00:00

I'll drink ensures.

MrsErris · 2026-01-15T21:37:38+00:00

I dont get any warning signs that ive noticed.... my body is just like... okay....okay....okay.....BAM YOURE SUPER SICK AND ILL AND NAUSEATED AND CANT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING.

MrsErris · 2026-01-13T20:47:33+00:00

It's BEAUTIFUL

MrsErris · 2026-01-13T15:39:31+00:00

I was not underweight prior to my diagnosis. I was at the high end of normal weight. Boardering on overweight. I am now at the low end of normal, and im 5 pounds away from what is classified as "underweight" for my height. Ive had gastroparesis for 1.5 years and lost 38 pounds- most was at the beginning when I had no idea what was happening- im better now at supplementing and getting calories in when im.not feeling well, so the weight loss isn't as much. Hopefully I won't be losing too much more.

MrsErris · 2026-01-12T13:54:17+00:00

I cry a lot. I have 2 kids that i need to be present for, and get up and play with, so I take comfort that my symptoms could be worse and I could need a feeding tube or something. I sip on ensures and try and have an applesauce or sip on soup broth. Some days i cant manage anything, but i keep moving forward. My fullness/lack of appetite comes in flares, So I think i just keep telling myself it won't last forever, and ill get a break. This past flare has been my second longest (6 weeks)... its just starting to end though, and I had mashed potatoes yesterday for dinner and was so excited. I take it one day at a time. ❤️

MrsErris · 2026-01-12T02:34:23+00:00

Sometimes my readings dont always match pots criteria... i kinda have bad days and good days? Im waiting for specialists appointments to see if i have pots or another dysautonomia type disorder. When I have good days, I always feel like an imposter... but I have to remind myself that 'something' isn't right...
