Struggling to Keep Food Down for Months

Been there done that. Was on not even IV with dextrose (not diabetic) when inpatient due to complications from gastroparesis. I learned to be careful how I described things. Never claim pain more than ten, no drama. Those automatically make healthcare professionals dismiss you as pain med seeking even though I can’t take pain meds most of the time. I have hsd (being tested for hEDS now) and have sustained three ugly injuries, one while I was in the hospital - I refused pain meds due to what they do to my dtp (diagnosed with full digestive track paralysis this year - gastroparesis found four years ago) and it wasn’t until I told them no pain meds without my direct permission that they looked at me differently. Because of my frequent visits and hospitalizations (I live with a progressive, life threatening condition - panhypopituitarism induced secondary adrenal insufficiency) and that changed how they see me. Also, watch out to not show too much emotion. Things like that make doctors and other automatically dismiss people.

i have tried. ive been on a liquid diet for months but still getting sick
