Uggghhh... First my normally creeky knee is bothering me more than usual so in early September I have an orthopedic appointment... I'm hoping they will look at my muscle weakness too... Severe muscle weakness, my lack of stamina, my inability to walk fast and the fact I can't run is in fact my number one disability now keeping me from working in my field...

Second, now my doctor is suspecting sleep apnea so I have to get a sleep study done...

And uck, my gastroparesis is driving me nuts... I can't eat much so I'm losing weight, but I'm still gagging and throwing up sometimes....

Chronic illnesses seem to come in a buy one get one or more free. :( Have your doctors started you on any treatment for your gastroparesis yet?

For the gastroparesis they just said to eat a little at a time, but I made an appointment to address it...

Add to that liver issues, now I might have to get further liver tests too because my liver enzymes were bad... Uggghhhh

Sorry to hear of your health issues, Ang. It certainly can feel like it's one thing after another for some. Thankfully, we're living in an age where sleep apnea and many health woes can be systematically treated or assisted by using long-term equipment to ease the issues. Hope you you start to see improvements soon. xx
