Gastroparesis with severe symptoms!

Yes I am 52 years old and had to leave work a year ago. I have mild gastroparesis with severe unrelenting nausea and pain. I just started Marinol, but my gastroenterologist hadn't really used the drug , but wrote 2.5 mg twice a day. Not enough. 5mg gets rid of nausea, but I still have this unwell feeling in my stomach. I have had a hiatal hernia with reflux since I was 22, but I've done well with PPi. I started developing nausea around 2007 plus I was developing lower extremity neuropathy. Zofran worked good for several years, but no longer effective . The first of December I went into a severe nauseated state that doesn't let up. I do NOT vomit. I can't live like this . I was to afraid of Reglan

I have hiatal hernia and reflux; what is PPI?

Protein pump inhibitor. (PRILOSEC, PROTONIX, NEXIUM, ETC.)

Hello @ohimsick and @xcinsanx

I'd like to welcome you to Connect, and thank you both for joining the Digestive Health group with such valuable insights. Here's another great conversation taking place on Connect about gastroparesis:

We sincerely look forward to getting to know you better.
@ohimsick, a few members have also posted about Raglan; may I ask what concerns you about taking this drug? Which proton pump inhibitors have helped you most?
@xcinsanx, you mentioned that your husband was a high-risk patient; would you be able to share a few more details?
