About

Health is Everything

Twenty years ago I was diagnosed with a rare intestinal disease. My stomach was removed and a feeding tube placed in my jejunal tract. I was subsequently put on numerous medications and had to start tube feeding 24-7. At times I was placed on vein feedings, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for times when the tube feedings would not suffice. The doctors always believed my disease, small bowel dysmotility, was secondary to an autoimmune disease, connective tissue disease. Which is rearing its ugly head more frequently as I grow older. Due to my illnesses, I am fairly well versed in the medical world.

I am currently writing a book about my experiences. I feel I have a lot to offer those in the medical world and as well as patients like myself. Patients who are faced with the fear, uncertainty and financial woes of being diagnosed with any sort of disease. I want to share my experiences with those behind and on the other end of the stethoscope. My education includes medical classes but I learned most of my medical "speak" from being a patient and caretaker. I have a vast amount of medical experience to share. As well as my electronic background, being attached to many pumps and machines, I can easily work on the technical side of the medical world, i.e. manuals for feeding pumps, etc. I am well rounded, educated with vast amounts of personal experience. I even know my way around insurance procedures, especially with prescription drugs. See my health blog:dysmotilitymountain.com.
