This is the most oddly random improvement and I'm not sure how to explain it. After all that doctor mess in Dec. I somehow got it into my head that I should go back on the Depo-Provera shot. I noticed that my gastoparesis got a lot worse around my cycles and also mid-cycle. I thought maybe there was a hormone trigger involved and perhaps calming the hormones down would fix the stomach.
Well lo and behold! I got my injection on Dec. 27 and my stomach calmed down IMMEDIATELY. I have not had a bout of diarrhea since! I have an appetite again! Everything is working again and I have even gained a couple pounds back.
The only thing I have figured out is perhaps I was suffering from some kind of hormone imbalance such as PCOS. I have suspected this for YEARS (the infertility being one of my main clues) but the doctors in my town were really not good at diagnosing that sort of thing. So I just sort of ignored it. But apparently PCOS does cause your gallbladder to go haywire as well as other digestive probs. Now I still have the low blood pressure which I'll probably ALWAYS have but at least the hormones aren't aggravating it. I feel so much better.
I'm able to eat sugar again, small amounts of tomato and even small amounts of peppers. (Those are not the best but I just love the flavor too much.)
Finally I don't feel like I'm starving away to nothing :-) Wooooo!
Another reason I wanted to try it was to see if it would decrease my migraines. The jury's still out on that one. I have noticed a bit more hypermobility in some of my joints but I'm not sure if the migraines are better or the same. To be continued. . .
