I feel for what you're going through as I have neuropathy & gastroparesis. Myself, I'm Type1, 46 years since the age of 2. I lost my job in 95, due to neuropathy in my right arm. The following 2 years, the neuropathy also found its way to my legs & feet, eyesight, stomach & bowel. I was eventually diagnosed with chronic neuropathy, suffering great pain & despair that no treatments helped. I climbed the walls in agony & couldn't take. That ended up with myself doing something incredibly stupid & selfish.. the least said about really. It took many years before finding a combination that does little to relieve the pain & symptoms to this day. The gastroparesis is a nightmare, absolute nightmare. To aid & lessen the awful effects, I learned to avoid certain foods & only try again with on a rare occasion, after years of trials. I have a low carb diet of just a few bland foods with a daily Duloxetine tablet & depend on 2 sachets of Movicol or Laxido at night as my bowel really really struggles without & stop the sachets when the gastroparesis is bad. My consultant & I have many discussions on the gastroparesis effects on my blood sugar. I have come to terms with the fact I cannot stop the annoying swings caused by gastroparesis - it really is a nuisance though! Reading your post, I couldn't help to see similarities with your descriptions to myself...although you've had many tests with negative results. I hope you can get an answer to help you.. I understand the awfulness of it all, affecting your life.Best wishes to you,Tuxkeep smiling!</blockquote>
