Recognize Gastroparesis as a Disability and Create Funding for Research & Study

Gastroparesis AKA "Delayed Gastric Emptying" is a condition in which the stomach empties slow, or not at all. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: Vomiting, Nausea
Severe bloating, Weight loss and malnutrition. Many of us are dying of starvation and complications. There is NO CURE and no medications specifically for this condition. Doctors are not educated enough and don't know much to help. Social Security does NOT recognize this condition as a disability. Most of us can not work. We have caretakers. We can't eat, we are on feeding tubes, hospitalized regularly, and desperate for help. We need funding for awareness and research and need to have Social Security recognize this condition as a disability. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there! Please help us!
