My name is Jennifer and I have just joined the Mayo Connect. I was first Diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2/19. Before that I had/have the following: SOUND SENSITIVITY, CANT TALK/CANT TALK LOUD, CANT SWALLOW WELL, HANDS AND FEET STAY COLD, TIGHTNESS IN RIGHT SIDE OF NECK/FACE, ARNOLD CHIARIA MALFORMATION, CONSTIPATION, SEVERE WEIGHT LOSS (over 30 lbs n a yr), BAIN PAIN (L4-S1), ARTHRITIS, SI DYSFUNCTION, RT ARM SURGERY AND PAIN AND NUMBNESS, SORES IN MOUTH (can’t think of word), DENTAL ISSUES. I could go on. I’ve had every blood test my PCP can think of. Been to multiple drs. Most recent news is a feeding tube. I know my body well enough to know that the drs are missing something. Not much support from family. Single mom with a 16 yr old daughter. Still barely holding down a job (been warned that my production is low and next step is written warning then termination). Clueless as to what to do or where to go😢
