I have been away from this site for the last several weeks because my computer died and I was unable to purchase a new one. Eventually I was able to purchase this new machine; however, the site would not allow me to resume using my old data, so I had to invent new ones. Instead of Patrick, the machine made me identify myself as Patrickk. Please forgive my absence; I'll try to resume our supportive discussions with my new machine.

Hi Patrick (now with 2 k's!)
How have you been?

Thank you for your concern.

My incontinence seems stable. However, gastroparesis is threatening. I'm not yet vomiting in my sleep; however I am getting regurgitation that is not responding to diet and medications. My brain and inner ear issues continue to make life interesting.

Again, thank you for asking.

That sounds awful, Patrick!
Hopefully things settle down at least some. Really glad you're not vomiting in your sleep, though. That's so dangerous.

Hoping to hear of some improvement from you soon.

For those that have a computer but it's still working you can always get a new version of Linux, install it and be up to date, for those that have machine failure hit me up I can't promise anything but I would be willing to do my best to get you going at sometimes little to nothing for cost.

You have my avatar ! Just kidding but I have used the "penny-gwin" as my avatar for years. I had to come up with another one that still has meaning to me. Does your avatar stand for anything?

I'm sorry to hear particularly about your gastroparesis! I suffer from it myself from time to time, lasting from 4 to as many as 12 hours on one occasion. I have discovered that if I take a spoonful of Pepto Bismol that it speeds up my vomiting. After the vomiting is over, I start to improve in about an hour, which is welcome relief from the cramps!
