Hello everyone,
so we are really struggling with eating because of pain from eating because the food just sits there and doesn’t move for a while. Also been struggling with heart rate and blood pressure issues. I do think this is related to EDS (Ehlers’ Danlos Syndrome). All alters as far as i know have agreed to try with eating, but the physical stuff is making it really hard. We haven’t used laxatives in a few months which is good, but now we are finding it hard to even try a lot with eating because of the physical pain. The fatigue is a lot to handle. Heart rate the other day went from 82 to 132 from laying to standing. I do understand that there are mental health things going on, but there are also physical things going on as well which complicate the mental health stuff. I don’t even know where i was going with all this, except to say that we are very frustrated. The Reglin isn’t working anymore either. Ugh!! Blood pressure was 89/46 the other morning. Our new worker is recovering from anorexia, and she doesn’t understand all the physical stuff we have going on, so when she asks us if we’re hungry, and we say no, she thinks it’s because of the eating disorder, but it’ really because we know how much pain eating causes us. I wanted to be honest about this with people and hope you understand that there is more to this eating issue than just an eating disorder. We’re just really complex patients. Hoping the new PCP can help figure some of this out. She is referring us for genetic testing. I’m just at a complete loss.
