Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

I have Multiple Sclerosis and because of muscle weakness I was also diagnosed with GP. I had recently had a Laproscopic Pyelormyotomy and am now doing fine. I also have a lot of other Autoimmune diseases as well such as Lupus and Sacoidosis and more. Autoimmune diseases can cause all kinds of Gastrointestinal problems so be sure to get your ANA blood checked for any kind of Autoimmune activity that your Doctor may be un aware of. I also had the Nissen Fundolpcation as well. Best wishes to all!!

Hi everyone. It is really heartbreaking to hear how so many of you have suffered with gastroparesis with so little relief. I was just diagnosed with this condition after a nuclear gastro emptying solid test a month ago. I was told to follow the corresponding soft/liquid diet and was prescribed Motegrity, which I haven’t been able to get my insurance to cover. So I am at a loss as to how else to deal with this frustrating condition. My GI symptoms are pretty much the same as most of you have described ( without the vomiting). I am not diabetic, but do have severe neuropathy and had a thyroidectomy several years ago. I also have heart arrythmias, so that eliminated some medication suggestions.
I am wondering if any of you have tried Motegrity? Or Tens unit on the stomach?
Hope to hear from some of you.

Boy Kimberly you have been rung through the ringer. I hope you are doing much better. I would like to ask about the LUPUS part, how did they finally 100 percent diagnose you with LUPUS and did it take a while. I have many symptoms of LUPUS but problem these systems are same for many other diseases. New doc told me my blood work showed flags for LUPUS and the arthritic doctor I see have not diagnosed that. One of the most tell tell signs for me is that I have the butterfly type rash across my nose it is very small and very light but it is there.
