I too have gastroparesis – Maybe this article should be more on people who fake illnesses for drugs without a actual name of a disease. My Gastroparesis is not from diabetes instead it’s from dysautonomia. I do not take Narcotics because of the fact that it does slow down your digestive system. The amount of pain gastroparesis causes is severe, and the sad thing is a lot of patients like myself avoid going to the ER for this very reason. Drug seeking is a serious problem, but do we really have to put a diagnosis in the title?

In reply to Daraterese Cathryn Gracie.

I have used narcotics for plenty of things (most recent being the placement of a central line, that sh*t hurts), but none of them for my gastroparesis and none of them are any stronger than Percocet. The ones who piss me off are the ones who claim only IV Dilaudid works for them and nothing else. They run to the ER at the first dry heave and complain they’re in the midst of “the worst flare EVAAAARRRRR”. Those are the ones I am talking about. And you cannot deny they make every other legit gastroparesis patient look bad. You also can’t deny that you haven’t met a couple of them, at least online if not in real life.

Drug seekers who fake it are annoying too, but there are gastroparesis patients who act exactly the same.

In reply to Stacie Hallford Clark-Benson. Then I wasn't talking about you. But I am sure you know exactly the type I AM talking about.

The only reason so many people are all butthurt is because they mentioned gastroparesis. Seriously, learn to take a joke. This article is SATIRE (although does hit the nail on the head in many cases). Looks like some people can’t figure that out.

Calm down and untwist your panties. Go back to bitching on Facebook like all of you are so good at. I’ll continue to laugh at this comment section as you all overreact.

I have Idiopathic Gastroparesis! YES! When it’s time for me to go to the Emergency room, it means my pain medication that I have prescribed at home isn’t relieving my pain. It means that I am in a Flare Up with the symptoms so severe that the medications I have at home can no longer help me. I would absolutely be SEEKING DRUGS! and, Dilaudid is the only medication that takes the pain away without making me more dizzy and nauseas! I go right into the ER and tell them I am here for pain.. I know the routine, I know what works. I ask for the GI Cocktail first because they bring that right in, It makes the pain bearable during the 3 hour wait before a DR. actually comes in. It’s in my chart that I have Gastroparesis, I don’t know why they feel my disease can wait so long? By the time I see the DR. I am begging for Dilaudid.. I have no addictions, I don’t abuse any substance! If I could bear the pain at home I would.. I go to the ER seeking some good drugs you bet your ASS! And this article isn’t funny at all, the person who chose to make a JOKE out of a RARE, Incurable disease that causes pain is just sick, mean spirited.. What next? a joke about a cancer patient seeking Zofran for their chemo induced nausea??

In reply to fliptopbox. Hope you never have to take care of me. Then my death certificate would read: Cause: incompetent medical professional, and NOT Gastroparesis.

In reply to Trish. This person did say that they have GP & is on TPN. Plus they say they are a medical professional.

In reply to fliptopbox. Bull shit! You have not a clue what you are talking about. Do you have this disease?? It takes your life away in a second. Just imagine having the flu every single day.... So when you do have some personal experience you can say your opinion. Mine is idiopathic so no reason why it started so you can't say that it's opioid induced. Stupidest thing I've ever heard!!!

In reply to fliptopbox. Clearly, you can't be part of the profession. You sound ignorant af. What's funny is the professionals don't know shit about the disease. There's no effective treatment options and all doctors say is sorry, there's nothing more we can do for you. Karma is a bitch....you should be nicer to people. Never know if you or your family will get this disease.
