Hello I'm in my ninth year (diagnosed age 37) of living with YOPD. About 16 months ago I suddenly was hit with a new symptom... The mere ingestion of food or even medication tablets would often set of an intense off-time period. Last year I had two separate one week stays in hospital trying to resolve by altering meds, tried Apo infusion pump, etc...
Nothing seemed to work out for me. Over time the issue has changed from an ingestion trigger to an egestion trigger. 9/10 after opening bowels I almost immediately go into some hyper off-time shock with body freeze symptoms. The nerves in my bowels become extremely sensitive. Furthermore, I open bowels 2-5 times per day so life is NOT FUN at the moment!!! I'm on the waiting list for DBS but won't get the surgery until early next year.
I'm surely hope this will resolve or reduce in some way.
Does anyone else experience similarities??
Thx,
Damo
