"my wife has pd" (catdogman)

MDJunction to me

"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

What is Gastroparesis

Dr. Daniel Einhorn shares his knowledge and explains What gastroparesis is....

Okay, first gripe: It's not as rare as he makes it out to be. Anywhere from 5-14 million people have it (from NIH). No solid numbers because it goes misdiagnosed so often.

Second: He makes it sound like ONLY diabetics get this. Wrong!!!!! The larger portion of patients are classified as idiopathic (no known source).

It's great that they have a video out, but they need to update it, seriously. Ermm
