Hi my name is Alex, I’m 45 years old and I live in Australia. I suffer from CIPO and GASTROPARESIS, and a few other co morbidities attached to those conditions. I first became ill when I was 11, and it all started with a swelling in my groin, a low-grade temperature and fatigue. I generally just felt unwell and my GP organised for me to see a gastroenterologist, as he suspected I was suffering from something more than just a bug.
