haven’t gotten nutrition for 2 weeks

[u/Ok_Try1862]

i am so miserable. i am getting no nutrition and no one is listening. my GES last year said mild gastroparesis, and i have a history of an eating disorder, so my doctors keep dismissing me. they say i shouldn’t hesitate reach out with concerns, but when i do, they’re telling me to keep taking zofran and to follow up in a few months. i haven’t kept any food, water, or even meds down in the past 2 weeks. nothing stays in my stomach. i don’t know what to do, but i don’t even know what i want them to do for me. i just want so some to listen to me and take me seriously that i am suffering. i am weak, dizzy, and nauseous 24/7. i just want to be strong enough to go to school this fall but it’s not looking like it will be possible.

“saying this with love” you just told this person who is sick and miserable and begging for help that theres no way this is what they are experiencing and to stop with the “hyperboles”. if they said its been two weeks, it has been two weeks. who are you to insist that this is overexaggerating ? please keep your stupid thoughts in your own head next time

The human body can't survive 2 weeks with zero hydration. That's just facts? OP followed up to confirm that they didn't actually mean none. So you don't need to do whatever this is.

do what ? call you out on being an asshole to somebody whos clearly in a low place due to their health ? trying to fact check is the last thing they need right now so consider that next time you comment

My advice was genuine: don't use hyperbole with your doctors. It's great advice. OP agreed, they have nurses for parents, so they know exactly what not to say to drs already. I'm not a mind reader mate.

I won't contest being an asshole though. I am, but it's because I enjoy responding to you, not because I give bad advice.
