#G-tube replacement #surgery went much better than my #J-tube exchange last month. Abdomen HURTS (but I went from a #PonskyTube to a button). *Really* hoping this change helps me turn a corner for the better in terms of health β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

G-tube replacement surgery tm! This tube was placed last year and despite it being good at its job (venting my stomach that won’t digest food),, something from that surgery caused my health to severely decline and has caused A Lot of pain. I’m begging the universe for even a 5% pain reduction πŸͺ„

#NEISVoid what are your wildness tricks for dealing with #Nausea? I take several meds and have a #G-tube and a #J-Tube for #Gastroparesis. I have #GERD, #MCAS, #FoodAllergies, and #EosinophilicEsophagitis.

Liquids are difficult, but small flushes of peppermint tea through my #FeedingTube can helpβ€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

To those who live with #Gastroparesis, #GERD, #Reflux, or #Nausea, have you found peppermint tea helpful? I have #FeedingTubes, but I’m curious if putting a little bit of (cooled) peppermint tea through my #G-tube might help with the nausea (I’m maxed out on meds) πŸ€”

I am so happy to have books playing in my ears again 🎧 πŸ“š

I love reading, but I live with #Depression, #MentalHealth, and neurological conditions. I hadn’t been reading for months even though books bring me joy.

Currently making my way through Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane πŸ’›

My favorite quote came near the end of #GregorTheOverlander

β€œEven if times got bad, he would never again deny himself the possibility that the future might be happy even if the present was painful. He would allow himself dreams.”

My health prevented me from reading for two months. I started Gregor the Overlander before tube care. Now it’s nearly 3 in the morning, but I had to finish it πŸ“šπŸ’™

I’m begging this #Gastroparesis flare to pleaasseeee go away 😭

I’m not even tolerating sips of water or ginger ale /:

I’m also not tolerating my usual rate or volume of tube feeds. It’s especially Struggle City because I’m having issues getting in all my meds ):

I’ve already had seven (7) different appointments this week and it’s only Wednesday. I have at least two (2) more appts scheduled for the remainder of the week, but it’s always possible another one might pop up.

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired 😭

I did meds while out of the house and took out my tube caddy and supplies to pause feeds and administer syringe meds.

A kid asked β€œwhat’s that?” Their guardian said β€œeverybody gets nutrition differently and this person uses formula through a feeding tube”!

I’ve been a monkey in the middle between my GI office and my tube supply company all week 😠

I’m on my last day of formula and rely on tube feeds. Tomorrow is Saturday!

I NEED them to deliver my formula TODAY or I won’t have nutrition this weekend 😭

queerautism - I think we don't speak enough about how, when you're chronically ill, a bad doctors appointment can genuinely make you so hopeless and suicidal. I have come out of some of them sobbing, with the terrible weight of the indifference of the medical system on my shoulders, knowing in my bones that no one wants to help. It takes unimaginable strength to pick yourself back up from that, and try again And again And again For years.

Question:
Why do people have to "purchase" healthcare? Where's the care in that?

Anyway, I had a procedure last week and it cost me 0$ and it cost my husband 5$ for parking.

Put the care back in health and make it free for everyone.
