A year and a half ago, I had surgery to fix my severe GERD. Well...since then, my entire GI system has pretty much shut down. I have severe non diabetic gastroparesis, meaning that my stomach just doesn’t really work anymore, it takes it a long time to empty food. My colon has followed suit on that one...I can never go...I go multiple days at a time, sometimes over a week, and it’s painful. And then the worst...the nausea...oh god, the nausea. Chronic nausea. Every day. It’s miserable. I end up curled up in a ball just hoping my medication will kick in so that I can feel okay again. It’s unbearable. This is all really taking a toll on my mental health. I’ve dealt with chronic pain my whole life, I’ve had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 6 years old. But I’d take chronic pain any day over this nausea. It’s so miserable. I don’t know how to deal anymore.
