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

Good luck @eileen. I have had some real doozie doctors in the last 15 years. It's like they engage their mouths before they engage their brain. I was at an appointment one time and was explaining how my feet were feeling, "like they had ace bandages wrapped around them real tight, and were swollen". Then pearls of wisdom spewed forth, " well, they're not swollen now...." She was bending over my feet down on the floor. I had some very tempting thoughts right at that moment. Maybe, if you keep leading your doctors in the right direction they will figure things out. Here's hoping, Dannybee
