As we celebrate Memorial Day & kick off the unofficial start of summer, please consider participating in the #GPPieFaceChallenge to help raise awareness for Gastroparesis. #Gastroparesis is the paralyzation of the stomach leaving one unable to eat, digest or absorb nutrients. Although, it effects 5 million Americans and is yet, still unheard of by the public & even some medical professionals. Currently, “GP warriors” are left to deal with nausea, frequent vomiting, bloating, pain, & malnutrition as the treatment options available are not completely effective, safe, or reliable. Hence, there is no cure for GP... Let’s get people talking about Gastroparesis by taking on the #GPPieFaceChallenge! It’s fun for all & you are doing good at the same time. What’s not to love? Let’s #SmashGP #CureGP #Awareness #Pie #Challenge #piefacechallenge #RareDisease #chroniccondition #invisibleillness #Gastroparesis #CareAboutRare #SmashGP

#MotivationMonday Going off of last weeks post, there are many things #Gastroparesis doesn’t allow us to do such as eat, work, maintain a decent quality of life, and so on and so forth. Oftentimes, this leads us to focus on what can’t do instead of what we CAN do... There are millions of suffering with the same symptoms and hardships as a result of #Gastroparesis. But, GP hasn’t taken away our voice. We have the ability to speak up & create change despite our many inabilities. For instance, there will be a March on Washington taking place for #Gastroparesis on June 24/25. Additionally, this challenge has been going strong since 2016 & look how far it’s grown. I could barely get my friends & family involved in 2016 but, I was determined to raise awareness. Flash forward to present day, pro athletes & celebrities have taken part in the challenge. It’s even been featured on several national news outlets & newspapers. And that, is just from 1 person speaking. Imagine what can happen we come together? So, instead of focusing on what we can’t do, do what we can: Speak. #CureGP #Awareness #Pie #Challenge #piefacechallenge #RareDisease #chroniccondition #invisibleillness #Gastroparesis #CareAboutRare #GPPieFaceChallenge #Gastroparesis #SmashGP

REPOST @gppieface Our GP pieface (Gastroparesis) Community has lost three precious lives within the last 24 hours. One was only 15 years old. It is heartbreaking to think of their suffering and to think of the trauma their families are going through. The only solace that will eventually come is in knowing that they are finally away from all the shadows of this world, including Gastroparesis. . . #gppieface #gppiefacechallenge #gastroparesis #awarecauses #starvingforacure #chronicillness #chronicpain #smashGP #curegp #chronicpainawareness #digestivedisorders #repost #stomachparalysis #awareness #invisibleillness

Because of intestinal failure, (Lupus induced Gastroparesis) I had a feeding tube placed on Feb 7. I was told by Financial Aid, that this procedure was covered. I was also told that a social worker would be assigned to me. Not only was a social worker not assigned, nor am I even eligible for one as a Financial Aid patient, I only received half of my feeding tube equipment. ......... I am 100% certain that my life was saved by having this feeding tube placed. It kept my intestines from imploding and prevented death from sepsis. What I want people to realize is - that we (people with disabilities) work so hard. The pump that comes with my feeding tube was not covered by financial aid. My feeding is supposed to be running nutrition and hydration 23 out of 24 hours per day to sustain a patient properly. I was sent home with a syringe so that during my waking hours, which as a malnourished, dehydrated individual are not many, I can pump water into my own intestines. I can also take in small amounts of food like Boost, rice & cereals. Does this food properly nourish me? No, this is part of the enigma we call, Gastroparesis. So tomorrow, like all the tomorrows that have come since February 7, I’m hoping for a better day. Because there’s so much paperwork waiting and now I’m starting from scratch with the “official” disability system because a judge previously decided that my Doctors were “exaggerating on my behalf.” My parents are senior citizens doing their best to take care of themselves and my former spouse ran away from this disease a long time ago. I don’t have that luxury or trust me, I would be tempted to run from this monster too. ........... Again, I just want to make people aware that we (people with disabilities) are not calculating our next move to determine how we can further burden society. We’re human beings who while we may not be opposed to death, may not be brave enough to lie in bed alone waiting for septic shock to take over. . #lupus #gastroparesis #awareness #chronicpainawareness #chronicillness #feedingtube #fibromyalgia #disabilities #mentalhealthawareness #mindbodyspirit #thedisableddiva #gppiefacechallenge #awarecauses #ableism #relatable
