    My partner has gastroparesis. Unfortunately she has other health issues which qualify her for SS. However, if you subtract those things, she is very ill due to gastroparesis alone. She couldn't work if she tried! I am in full support and hope that we can include this a qualified disability. Thank you

    I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. With no medication to help us and there is no cure it should be recognized as a disability. I tried going to work and could only work for about 3 weeks before I lost my job. PLEASE help us get gastroparesis recognized.

    Please recognize this disease as a disability. It is a very serious one that should not be dismissed. Thank you.
