Hi Stephanie thank you for all your videos and the encouragement you’ve shared through your videos so many people appreciate it more than you know ❤️ I will keep praying for you ❤️ thank you for sharing your journey much love and blessings in Christ x
I totally agree. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 22 years ago and the groups were so depressing. So I go for a coffee ☕ on a good day instead lol.. find out what you need to know and try not to dwell in it. Recently been diagnosed with gastroparesis and doing a bit of dwelling 🙄 and desperately trying to keep going. Xxxxxx
i make a smoothie every day of frozen spinach, avocado, kale powder, coconut oil, berries and banana. I strain the seeds out if my stomach is really bad x
I'm trying to catch up on your videos! I'm glad to hear you have found some stuff that you can tolerate without pain. I know it changes all the time though. ❤️
@the strength of empty can you please list all the things you take. Also can you eat normal? Or you still need to eat small portions? Thank you so much for sharing your experience. 😇
I currently take a liquid multivitamin (1/2 dose), copper/zinc, omega 3, coq10, vitamin e, triphala, shilajit, magnesium, vitamin d and k. I eat pretty normal. I have an egg, Greek yogurt, fruit, and sour dough for breakfast. I have a smoothie for lunch, and I have animal protein and fruit for supper. I also have snacks when I feel like I need it. I eat this way now after being vegan/plant based for over a year. But it started to trigger my gastroparesis again and I got oxalate toxicity. So no more of that!
I don't know if anyone has suggested this. But all of your diagnoses are common symptoms of Lyme disease and co-infections.. The testing is often unreliable, contrary to what some doctors will say repeating stubborn conventional assumptions. If you see an LLMD (Lyme Literate doctor) they can treat it without a positive test. If nothing else has been working, I would look into it. Bless you.
Thank you. I have been tested and it was negative. But, could be a possibility I suppose. I don't know of any LLMD around my parts. A lot of my issues do stem from my genetic condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome though :)
That can be a reason for sure. If food is still sitting there, you won’t feel hungry. I’ve also found that having LOW stomach acid can compound this issue.
@@TheStrengthofEmpty how were you diagnosed with myasthenia gravis? I am having so many health issues as of right now all I know is I have lupus was diagnosed with it last year in September but I feel there's more going on... I am having muscle weakness pain and constantly get muscle fasciculations all over my body... I am having bad stomach issues and drs can't give me answers I have pain every day all day and through out the day pains can become really sharp... I feel sick in general and nauseous I wake up feeling like this... sometime I throw up randomly and its always clear fluid and sometimes foamy... when I eat even if I just take a bite or 2 the pain gets worse and causes diarrhea and feeling sick... my stomach is constantly making loud growling and gurgling noises to the point it annoys my husband especially at night when we are trying to sleep it doesn't stop and it's loud... my dr thought I had gastroparasis she sent Me for a gastric empty study test which cane back normal and im scared that it could of been a false negative and still think I could have gastroparasis... yesterday I had to do a capsule endoscopy when you swallow a camera have you ever heard of this test? if so have you heard of it being able to diagnose gastroparasis? I'm frustrated and feeling hopeless and feel there's something seriously wrong and drs are missing it 😔 idk what else to do... is there any other test that can diagnose it? I know I do have gerd... hope your doing well
I’m sorry I just saw this! Yes the capsule endoscopy can diagnose slow motility. As far as myasthenia gravis, you would undergo a nerve conduction study and emg. Also possibly a tension test. But honestly, lupus can cause those symptoms you’re describing. It’s part of the illness sometimes. I’m sorry you’re suffering with this.

I’m sorry you have to deal with GP. It’s such a tough disorder. But I have learned that mercies are new every morning. ❤️ Hang in there! 💪🏻
Much love Stephanie. You are an inspiration.
Also I think stepping away from the daily reminders is a great idea, I try to just live a normal life and keep busy :)

I know this was a year ago that you posted this, but thanks, I'm going to try that, so miserable right now....
Please keep us updated

Do you have any autoimmune disease?
Yes a neuromuscular disease called myasthenia gravis.
@@TheStrengthofEmpty how were you diagnosed?
I was diagnosed years ago (1998) by emg/ncs and response to medication.
@@TheStrengthofEmpty what medications?
So are you kind of saying that a reason imight not have an appetite is that my stomach is just still full
That can be a reason for sure. If food is still sitting there, you won’t feel hungry. I’ve also found that having LOW stomach acid can compound this issue.
How are you doing?
Struggling with food daily, but the nausea and pain are better at the moment.
@@TheStrengthofEmpty Are still able to keep your wright stable xx
Weight
Yes actually gained a couple pounds! 🙌🏻
@@TheStrengthofEmpty that's great news.I need to do that do you make high calaries shakes and have pureed food.My nausea is the worst xxx
Sweetheart, have you been tested for Multiple Sclerosis? Please, please, look into it, trust me😥
Funny you mention this. I am actually getting checked next week with mris. But I already have a neuromuscular disease called myasthenia gravis.
