H has terrible gastroparesis. He has transferred from one teaching hospital to another and switched gi . He was prescribed a new medication carafate in a liquid form and it seems to be doing the trick. Very expensive drug, over 100 after insurance payment due to its tier but it seems to be worth its weight in gold. The doctor who suggested it is a post doctoral fellow under the supervision of h's new gi who is a professor at an Ivy League Medical School. The pill form is not as good. This liquid coats the esophagus. His medications were also changed and a number eliminated. He seems to be doing better. A1C have been in the very low 7s.
I am hoping against hope that this will help with his other issues. I clearly see a decline in his metal ability. and of course he still can not work and has no earning capacit.
