Invisible illness 30 day challenge #1

1. The illness I live with is:

I actually have a number of them, but I’m currently thinking most about gastroparesis because it’s been responsible for my last three hospitalizations, among others. Including the current one. It itself is probably one consequence of what my friend refers to as a neuromuscular clusterfuck, that I seem to have inherited from my mother (it involves muscular symptoms, neuropathy, and autonomic dysfunction, and hasn’t been given any definitive name yet but we both share similar symptoms as do some of her relatives). If I listed every diagnosis I have, I would be here awhile, and honestly I’d need to look at a list. But most of them are probably related to somewhere between one and three main overarching conditions.
