Gastroparesis

For those of you who don't know - I have gastroparesis - it's basically a paralysis of important internal organs needed to digest. Well, we're now thinking I have autonomic neuropathy which means that it extends beyond just the digestion system but includes all systems that are suppose to operate automatically - for example, temperature and blood pressure.

The reason I bring this up is because I'm having a sick day. I feel horrid! I have stuff on my calendar that I have to do and want to do today and yet - I'll have to go around hoping for a bathroom in case I have the sudden urge to vomit. Lovely!
