It has been over two weeks since I last posted. I haven't really been up to anything because I am on break. I talked to my doctor last week and updated her. I am doing very well. If anything, I am struggling to get in extra salt. She was super excited that I am doing so well. When we were in Minnesota we talked about getting rid of one of my medications. I am currently in the process of reducing it. I haven't really had any withdrawals symptoms which is AH-mazing! Hopefully by the time I go back to school, I will be completely off of it. Earlier last week I got a letter in the mail from the Mayo Clinic asking for my permission to use my records and charts for research. This means that Case Study #1 is under way! This is very exciting because a connection could be found between gastroparesis and POTS/dysautonomia. A cure could come from this connection, but that is hoping for a lot. Right now, I am just happy that there is progress being made between the two diseases.
Since we just celebrated Christmas and are about to start a new year, I wanted to say how thankful I am for each and every one of you. I am so thankful for my family and friends who helped me get through this year. I am thankful for the health that I do have. For as many things that I have been through with my health in the last year, there are numerous people who have so many more medical issues than I have. God has blessed me with an abundant amount things that there is no way I could not be happy with my life and current outcome. 2014 has been a struggle some days but joyous and fun other days. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me in 2015. Here's to the best year of our lives!
Until next time,
A :)
