Had my GI appointment. Gastroparesis is labeled significant - I retained 16% after 4hrs and vomited 30%. Not sure I want to know how that amount was calculated.
Starting a motility medication. Hopefully it helps.

As a disabled person who works in home healthcare i would like to say that yeah a lot of the time its the healthcare workers who are the problem. Yes its a hard job, yes it can be terrifying or traumatic and yes its often surrounded by grief. But you are not a special christ like saviour for helping disabled people for money, and your patients do not owe you groveling and infinite thanks. Theyre in pain and theyre being financially abused by the healthcare system itself, they do not owe you more respect than they owe any other human they meet on the street.
Occasionally I am confronted by the fact that my health is actively deteriorating and I am stuck waiting on doctors appointments.
But in other news - my tomato plants are flourishing so that’s good.
My appointment with GI has been moved up to this week!
Hoping for actual assistance and not just more tests. I would be fine with more tests if we did something in the meantime but I have been nauseous and vomiting for almost 6 months now and all I have is an oral Zofran prescription that barely helps. Also I’m only given 10 at a time which is unhelpful for a daily issue.
My appointment with new Rheumatology is next month but I’m on the waiting list for a cancellation.

Cardiologist appointment went okay. Trying a new med that isn’t a beta blocker but she is also referring me to a pulmonologist because apparently my breathing is abnormal.
I’d really like a freaking break.

Boy, do I have some news for you about disabled marriages…
I love being failed by the medical system!
And the irony of being so consistently failed as someone who works in the medical system and knows the tips/tricks etc that often can help get care!
