Terrified of Gastroparesis

i think i may be starting to get gastroparesis and i’m absolutely terrified. i know it’s often comorbid with other conditions i’m suspected to have, but i was really hoping this wouldn’t happen. i thought i had a stomach bug but that was months ago and it hasn’t let up for even a moment. idk. i guess i’m just stressed and need to vent.

I completely understand the fear. When I started to develop it, I was terrified because I knew I was at risk. Do you have a GI doctor? If not, do you have a good relationship with another doctor? It would be good to get a gastric emptying study as soon as possible

I already have an appointment with a really good primary so I plan to bring it up there. She’s the first doctor to take me seriously so she got thrown quite the curveball when I told her everything that had been going on for years lol
