I went to see my Cardiologist last week to get an EKG done
and the approval to start new treatment for my gastroparesis.
They did the EKG and he said the QT interval is a little more prolonged
than he would like to see it. He wants Dr. Frech to go ahead and start the
treatment but put some strict guidelines in place. He wants a repeat EKG done 3
days after I start taking the medicine. If the QT interval is more prolonged he
wants the treatment stopped. The other thing he wants monitored is my potassium
and magnesium levels. He wants weekly lab work done to check these levels for
the entire duration of treatment. He also said if I feel any worse or notice my
heart acting irregular, than I will need to stop treatment.
I also started my B-12 injections last week. Haven’t noticed
a difference yet but I am sure that it will take a while to build up in my
system.
Just waiting to hear from Dr. Frech’s office to get everything
ordered so I can start this new treatment.
Yippee!!
