I wish there was a cure

I had a friend who had gastroparesis. Every day she had a fight with keeping down food. She couldn't eat any of her favorite foods anymore. So having seen that, my heart kind goes out to you! She talked about trying some sort of waistband that basically shocks the stomach to get it to move, that might help her to eat more normally again. I don't remember what it was called. Sounded kinda like a pacemaker for the stomach. Anyway, you can vent all you want! It sounds like a terrible condition to have and I pray for your sake and for the sake of my friend that a cure is found for it!

im sending prayers ur way did u have cancer at one point in ur life? my mother-in-law had something like that for many year before she expired..she couldn't eat anything because her stomach was...not a stomach anymore. she would always tell me how much pain she was in but she was trying to hold on as long as she could for her husband. without her, he was nothing. hang in there! i am going to send a prayer request for one week and hopefully that will do something...

I so much know what it is like to live everyday with a chronic illness. I have fibromyalgia and while some days are bearable, some are really devastating. There are times when my stomach is affected by it, plus the pain meds make me nauseated and yes, constipated! I am not homebound, but I try to stay mobile because of my 10 year old daughter. Most days it is agonizing to try and keep up with her and keep her active. She knows what I have but does not understand how hard it is for me to walk sometimes, or how one minute I can seem energetic and a few minutes later I am so exhausted as if someone unplugged me. I do miss the days when I could do almost anything and not even think about it, when my health was really good. I do pray that you can find a cure or something that will make life more comfortable for you. Do all you can to research online. You'd be surprised at some of the things you can find out that the doctors don't know. Feel free to vent any time.....we are here for you!

I am so incredibly sorry that sounds absolutely awful. I will definitely be praying for you hun! Also, I want to tell you if you have anyone to get some for you there is something called Colloidal Silver you can try. It has cured many things in my own family and if the doctors are not helping you maybe you can give that a try. It has helped me with many things myself too. I really hope your health gets better soon, I cannot imagine living that way!

I know there is not anyone who wants to hear this, but I would say to change your diet as soon as possible. What we eat matters on health problems. I use to have many problems, and they got worse until I started eating veggies.

Hello lagirl1966, I want to first off say that I am very sorry you are feeling so terrible! It must be so hard not being able to do the things you use to do. I cannot imagine what it is like to be housebound as well. My prayers are with you. I also have a loved one who is housebound because of back issues. She cannot even get up out of bed most days. She has to have surgery again, and very soon. I have heard that processed foods are no good for you with this kind of condition. Also, some fruits might be hard on the stomach and try to stay away from fruit juices and soda. I am no doctor, but I have been around a lot of people whom have had health issues, as I use to work in a hospital. I am praying and God is listening always my friend! Hugs to you!

You are definitely in my prayers. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I know what it is like to be housebound, but not because of the reasons you are. I don't know what I would do if I had your health problems.

It's OK, you can vent and complain as much as you want. Sometimes letting out that negative energy can be good for the body and spirit. By the way, I am a pharmacist by profession and it normally pains and disappoints me to see someone who have tried every possible treatment or remedy but yet still can't solve their health issue. Anyway, I wish you speedy recovery; do rest well and will be praying for you!

I'm sorry to hear about your illness, it's always sad to know if someone is suffering from sickness especially if it is incurable at this time. Any people can get sick even those health conscious persons do. I'm not saying you to accept it wholeheartedly, sick is always unwelcome to all of us. But this is the kind of life that we have now...I wish there are no more people suffering from any sick and I hope it happen so soon. I take care of my health but you know as we age we cannot escape sickness, it's part of getting older. All we need is a prayer to handle all these hardships and hope for a day where there will be no resident who will say I am sick. That's a promise of a God who cannot lie. Please don't stop praying, He will help you to conquer your sickness.
