💚 The importance of having an advocate when you live with Gastroparesis 💚

💚 Living with Gastroparesis often means repeated doctor visits, hospital admissions, and having to explain complex symptoms while you’re exhausted, in pain, nauseous, or unwell.

This is why having someone to advocate for you can be life-changing.

💚 An advocate can:
• speak up when you’re too sick, overwhelmed, or unheard
• help explain your symptoms clearly and consistently
• remind staff of your diagnosis, medications, and triggers
• question decisions that don’t feel right
• help prevent your symptoms from being dismissed or minimised

💚 When you’re dealing with pain, vomiting, reflux, bowel issues, dehydration, or brain fog, it can be incredibly hard to advocate for yourself — and that does not mean you are weak.

💚 Gastroparesis is a complex, often invisible illness. Many of us have learned the hard way that being alone in medical settings can mean our symptoms are misunderstood or overlooked.

💚 If you can, bring a trusted person with you.
If you can’t, know that it’s okay to ask for extra time, written notes, or support.

💚 You deserve to be heard
💚 You deserve proper care
💚 You deserve support

Awareness matters.
Advocacy matters. 💕

I REALLY wish this wasn't as common as it is.

I want to reshare this quote from the late Stephanie Willick-Malinsky (page creator) that she posted many years ago now. She truly was the epitome of strength 💚

This holiday season, as you prepare and eagerly await your gatherings and feasts, please remember the community. Far from being a festive season, this can be one of the most challenging times of year for us.

We appreciate your understanding.
