Having motility issues, may be gastroparesis: Any thoughts?

@Joanne, @eileen, hi ladies. I also have gastroparesis but not as bad as the two of you. Please forgive me for butting in. I also have taken Reglan, didnt do a thing for me, also Zofran, nada. I have had IBS-C since I was 20 and married my first husband. I'm 70 now. Have been depressed off and on for many years and tried many antidepressants. My psychiatrist is trying me out on some antipsychotics bc I see things. Trouble is these meds cause constipation. If it has that side effect I will have it. The first 2 I threw away. Eileen, I thought I was the only one that researched my conditions but you have beaten me hands down. I'm so impressed. I think maybe my pcp has forgotten I have gastroparesis. I have a really bad case of all over body itching and that's what I mostly am looking up. Ladies please 🙏 take care of yourself anf God bless. Dannybee

Hi Dannybee,
thanks for writing. i havent even been "officially" diagnosed with gastroparisis but i know i have it. thank you i have done my research and so has my husband. my pcp is the only one so far who said i had it based on my symptoms. so he prescribed reglan it did work but by day 5 i felt like my face was paralazed. almost like i had a stoke. it freaked me out so i got rid of the reglan. well i was right back where i started so yesterday i went back to reglan but only 1/2 the dose. i was able to eat my pcp just said dont take at bedtime to possibly cut down of chances of side effects. well this morning i work up in some real pain. my husband suggested i get up because he didnt think it was good to be laying down if i was in pain. i also had real loose stools(sorry if tmi) i see my pcp again today and the motility doctor virtually on monday. i am hoping so much he believes me and will help me. god bless. Eileen
