An update on my not feeling well before I start replying to comments.

I have two stomach issues causing my problems right now. I have gastroparesis and a sensitive stomach that cannot take pressure.  Gastroparesis is a medical disorder of ineffective neuromuscular contractions of the stomach, resulting in food and liquid remaining in the stomach for a prolonged period. Stomach contents thus exit more slowly into the duodenum of the digestive tract, a medical sign called delayed gastric emptying.  Sometimes my stomach won’t empty for a very long time. For example last night I ate half a ham and chicken sandwich at about 4 pm.  I was unable to force more down.  I went to bed around 5 pm.

I woke at 1 am with stomach pain and nausea. At 1:30 am I lurched to the toilet to vomit.  Everything in my stomach came up, and I felt better after the pressure was relieved. I went back to bed. Then I woke at 4:15 and knew I was going to vomit again.  I was bletching a lot but it was not going to be enough pressure release.  At 4:30 am I was again voiding my stomach into the toilet. I went back to bed but got up at 5 am anyway.  

I drank a cup of water too fast and in 20 minutes it came back up. So I started slower.  I had two fiber cookies and slow sips of water. Everything stayed down, and I felt fine if very tired. So at 10 am I am having the other half of my sandwich from last night.  My stomach feels very full but I am not nauseated.  Ron is getting very worried as he thinks my stomach is getting slower at emptying and that it is becoming more sensitive taking less pressure to cause me pain and being nauseous.  Time will tell.  Hugs
