I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis;
An illness that unfortunately has no cure.
No known cause.
Only the Lord's healing hand, will pull us through. Managing our symptoms, is a full time job. A team of doctors are needed to navigate uncharted waters with our illness. They become a necessary life-line.
Just like cancer, this illness has claimed the lives of so many. Not many people have ever heard of it, including doctors. They say it's rare, I believe just invisible.
( until organs start to shut down that is )
When someone gets diagnosed with Gp--Many are not told what to expect. Lives are never the same! Suddenly, like a sandstorm in the west... People are fighting for every breath they take. Doctors don't educate their patients on Gastroparesis / complications and the other dis-orders that may come with it.
Not a matter of IF— but WHEN!
The pain is real! One a scale from 1-10 (5) and above for most on a good day. 10+ few days a week. More bad days than good. Make no mistake, it’s a 24/7 fight for relief. Pain never relents.
when I was diagnosed the diseased was very severed and has caused other medical conditions, which I have to be under special and expensive treatments, just to stay alive.
back in March we lost our health insurance and we don’t qualify for medical since we don’t have any children.
I was able to find health insurance with a low cost, but still have to pay a percentage of every surgeries treatment and dr visits.
I have thought about stopping my treatments but without them I would have to check into hospice and just wait for my organs to shutdown; but at the same time I still have my grand babies to fight for so when they grow up they don’t say my grandma just gave up. 
Anything that you can help with would be much appreciated 💚
