Doing Better...

Well, it's true. I am doing better than I was when I last posted. I am almost afraid to enter a new post and say "I am doing better" for fear of jinxing myself. But! Journal posts have nothing to do with my health

I'm so happy for you!

It's too bad I never found out what causes my nausea too, it seems to be in phases..what is the disease actually doing to you?

Gastroparesis basically means your stomach does not function properly. The contractions your stomach normall makes to grind food does not occur as often or at all. Also your stomach has trouble expanding. Basically I had no appetite & a alot of nausea. If I did eat something I'd feel like I had a bowling ball in my stomach. It would stay there for hours. My normal feelings of hunger were replaced by a gnawing naseuating semi-burning sensation. I was also losing about half a pound of weight everyday because it was hard to eat anything
