Our New Year’s celebration was a quiet one. I was having stomach pain and nausea from the gastro
paresis. I lay on the couch watching television with my husband and my son. We
watched the ball drop and then we went to bed. The next few days I was still
not feeling well. There is nothing I had
I could take to help with the pain. I put a heating pad on my stomach to help
relieve the pain. My stomach was full
and I could not eat anything. I sipped on some chicken broth and a hot cup of
green tea. I drank a full glass of water with Miralax in it. I take Miralax on
a regular basis to help me poop. When I am feeling like this I cannot eat solid
food. Sometimes I can even get down liquids without wanting to throw it back
up. On days like these I just have to stay home in bed or lye on the
couch and wait for my symptoms to go away. My symptoms could last for a couple of days to
two weeks. This is called a gp flare up and when it happens I cannot make any
plans to go out. I can’t hang out with friends or family unless they come to
see me. My husband and I can’t enjoy a nice dinner out on the town. I feel like
I have become a prisoner to this disease and food. I was hoping I would feel better
soon because my surgery was coming up and I did not want to feel bad from both
the surgery and my gastro paresis.
