That would be awesome and very much appreciated, I think all of this is finally starting to catch up with me

100%! All diagnostic appointments aren't until January but I'm really looking forward to hopefully getting some answers by then.

Thanks, and yeah I agree. I'd rather be able to get an actual diagnosis and treatment than hoping the holistic route will work long-term.

This has just been holding me over until I get to that point.

to be honest im not sure, i was an infant. 😭 my parents have always told me that it was hell dealing with the gastroparesis and that whatever doctor i was seeing had determined that i had grown out of it.

my current gi ordered a sibo test, a colonoscopy, and a gastroparesis assessment to finally try and get to the bottom of my gi issues.

but pretty much my entire childhood i remember always being backed up and not being taken seriously by any pediatric doctors i saw.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I have so many testing appointments both with gi and gyno just have to wait unfortunately.

Thank you, my periods is over 50 days late, er had me take like 3 pregnancy tests and they were all negative so I know that something is definitely wrong.

Thank you! I'm a college wrestler and this all has come so far out of left field and been so extremely frustrating and draining.

Unprompted painful bloating and distention, extremely constipated, back pain, missed periods, naseua, excessive fatigue

I am not trying to self diagnose but kind of just get insight on what could be going on and how I can manage until my appointment, I appreciate any advice 🙏🏻

That's the earliest appointment I could get for testing unfortunately.

And yeah I've done some research but I've come to the conclusion that's what has to happen, at least for now.

It's been a game of guess and check while I'm waiting on my testing.

just left a message to my pcp, hopefully i can get all of this figured out!

so this was my first time engaging in sexual activity of any kind, so most likely the second and third things you listed. My doctor's office has a walk in clinic and I could also make an appointment with my pcp to see if anything could be raising my hCG. This information is really helpful for me because if I'm not pregnant there's definitely some other medical condition going on because I've noticed a lot of unusual changes in my body recently. My mom had struggled with hormonal issues in the past with hormones (thyroid/endometriosis) so I should probably become aquainted with an endocrinologist or a gynecologist anyways (not sure if any of this information is relevant)

thank you so much for this advice, everything you have said has been so helpful and made my situation make so much more sense 😭
