I have death with this disease for over 18 yrs. it is not a death sentence disease. Use nexi or Tehran. Adjusts your diet and live your life. In the scranton area they are publicly misinforming many. They just want the recognition. There should be “NO MONTH “” as you don’t only suffer with it one month out of the year it is mainly an affect of diabetes and your diet -

My 36year old daughter is surfing with GP and to watch all that she has to go through is unbearable sometimes,the pain she has to deal with on a daily basis is unreal, I don't understand why doctors are so uncaring and that she's doing this stuff to her self or that she's faking it,No one would every wish this on anyone.It is real and doctor's and other people need to believe it,there is so much more to her story but like you all don't really care anyways,cuz its not you or one of your loved ones!!!!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

This disease/disorder is a very serious illness. It is like have a stomach virus everyday forever. Some will not survive. There is very little knowledge or consistant protocol for treatment and no research for a cure. Doctors just do not know what to do. Some just do not want to treat a patient with this disease. Unless we get some research which leads to effective treatment or even a cure, there will more people loosing their lifes, or suffering the rest of their life. For me, I am in my 60's and will probably not be here when there is an effective treatment or cure. Make this proclamation to bring more awareness and possibly more research.REPORT COMMENTS

I was just recently diagnosed with Gastroperesis and currently waiting to have Gastric Pacemaker pu on by stomach. This is a awful terrible disease and it makes everyday life miserable sometimes almost unbearable. I live in Florida and most GI doctors have no idea what Gastroperesis is nor do they know about the pacemaker. This chronic illness is serious and awareness I'd well needed all over the world.You never know someone you know or you may be affected by this.REPORT COMMENTS
