Tina,

I'm sorry it took so long to figure out what was making you sick. I'm
sorry you don't have any warning signs. Sometimes I wake up in middle
of the night too, but most of the time I am fortunate enough to have
some warning signs!!

I see a new GI doctor on the 29th, so I am really excited for that.
My current doctor is horrible at listening. I am constantly in the ER
and he isn't switching around my meds or anything anymore. I'm not
happy with where I am at. A friend referred me to the new doctor.

Gastroparesis pretty much means that my stomach muscles don't move my
food out of my stomach like it is supposed to. I have been following
the diet for that. I don't think the GP is my main cause of problems
though. I think it's the CVS.

I hope you are feeling well today!!

Holly
