Sheila1366 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Was up most of the night thanks to a heartrate that would speed up for no reason. And a good dose of nausea thanks to gastroparesis. Heart still beating funny. And then the awful pain that comes with a stomach and colon that longer works. Bloos pressure drops of course. Had to call husband to come home from the fire station long enough for things to settle down. My biggest fear is I pass out here with my girls. My oldest is well enough to call 911 to get help but just the trama of them seeing me faint really worries me. I fight so hard to hide the pain and nausea but it is getting harder each and every day.Now the heart racing for no reason, beating even in stomach. So wish I could lay in bed all day and just sleep, watch senseless tv and be on my computer. But my youngest is still very sick, going on 2 months now. She needs supervision 24/7. Would love a break.

diamondcut Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Have you looked into a Enterra stomach pacemaker. The sucess rate for gastroparesis is something like 70-80%.They can really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila1366 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 thanks for the help. I haven't had the dr. recommend it, yet. My gastroparesis is getting much worse and that may be the topic of my next appt. I did get a new pain med. , BuTran patch. I hope it helps. The pain is so bad.

corina Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm very sorry you're having such a hard time Sheila. Is there anyone around who can help? Maybe watch the children for a few hours so that you can rest? Hope things will get better for you soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
