Where do I start… now let me see… The weight loss enabled to GP to feel a bowel blockage, Molly went on a huge increase of her medication to support this for two weeks with the hope that it would unblock her, then 2 more weeks on half the amount. Type 7 bowel movements remained…

Hey I’ve been thinking, thinking I need to stop trying to fix things, fix Molly…. At the last meeting in Newcastle I was told Molly, may be without Symptoms for many years however, it will return at somepoint. That was actually very hard to swallow, I think I thought we were going to fix her.…

Awful subject, but it’s important, after a large BM today Molly has been doubly incontinent at Prisms Arts a number of times and had to leave early because of this. Molly has reported she was in pain with a sore tummy. It’s now 5.15pm and she is settled at home having her evening meal. Now…

The meeting on Thursday with the body dr and the mind drs resulted in them consulting with each other. Different fields of medicine but they are obviously linked. The antipsychotic medication, has caused constipation, which caused the GI bleed 2 years ago. Molly was then catatonic, she was prescribed lorazepam which also causes constipation. Molly…

Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult experiences, developing mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility to cope with challenges and adversity. The teaching was powerful, we all have tough times but I know from my own experience we can always bounce back. Last week I felt…

The character trait of being curious is defined as a strong desire to learn or know something. Molly has not been sick or in pain for approximately 10 days which is bloody amazing however I am curious…Why and how has it suddenly stopped after almost 2 years? The biggest change has been reducing her Quetiapine from…

Fate or faith? We had the pleasure of meeting Dr Aly today at the Cumberland Infirmary. Thank you PALS for your help. It was everything and more! He said the tests carried out by Dr Indra were most useful and asked that I email a copy of them all to him. These test results should…

So the results from the gastric emptying study are in, Molly’s scans showed no evidence of gastroparesis. I feel a sense of embarrassment that I believed I was right and I had ‘cracked’ the reason for the sickness. I would never have been searching for answers if I felt the GP, 111 and A&E had…
