A fellow doll fancier and artist suggested checking out your channel and I came across this video. I have just begun learning to use air-dry paints to reborn dolls. I am 60 years old, visually impaired and partnered with a guide dog, type 1 diabetic for 49 years and have had gastroparesis since I was 17 years old. It's a horribly debilitating disease. I am allergic to the only medication that's really helpful to treat gastroparesis, Raglan, so have suffered a great deal not having any treatment. 15 years ago my gastroparesis got to the point where I couldn't keep food down at all. Had to have surgery to have gastrostomy and jejunostomy tubes placed so that I get liquid feedings. I still suffer with nausea and pain on a regular basis. My heart and prayers go out to you.

I too have gastric paresis. It is awful. Stomach paralysis can be agonizing. I am also a hereditary chronic pancreatitis warrior and I am liver failure. I too have one kidney. I am a health care professional and a doll collector, mom of 5 adult children. I also have a port in my chest. Thank God for my port.
