AGMD Living With Motility Disorders Telephone Internet Community Support Group 

The Association of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders, Inc. (AGMD) invites you to participate in our Living With Motility Disorders Telephone Internet Community Support Group Meeting

This group is for anyone affected by motility disease, including patients, parents, partners, and loved ones.  This is a safe place to talk about everything that goes along with the diagnosis of a motility disease.  Topics include emotional/mental health issues, chronic pain, relationships (personal as well as with medical professionals) ostomies, tubes, lines, and nutrition.

Our program will be co-facilitated by Brittany Neal. Brittany is a patient with chronic idiopathic pseudo-obstruction since birth. Now in her 30s, she has had numerous surgeries and procedures including multiple central liine placements, G and J-tubes, and has a permanent ileostomy. She is currently TPN dependent and has several health concerns due to CIPO. No longer able to work, she serves as a volunteer for AGMD.

This month's topic will be focused on hospitalizations.  Being in the hospital can be a very frightening situation for the patient, but also for the family and caregivers.  Talking about it, planning ahead, preparing yourself as much as possible, and knowing your rights can reduce a lot of the stress, worry and anxiety.  If there is anything you wish to talk about outside of this topic, or have questions to ask, please bring it up during the conference call. We look forward to speaking with you in May during the Living with Motility Disorders conference call.
