Woman misdiagnosed with celiac disease now has to eat through her heart (MEDIA DRUM WORLD)

  一名妇女忍受了26年的消化问题和误诊,最终找到了答案——但现在必须通过连接在她心脏上的管子来进食。

  30岁的莎拉·克雷斯韦尔来自贝德福德,她一生都饱受恶心、呕吐、疼痛、慢性疲劳、容易关节脱臼、癫痫和脑雾的折磨。

  医生将她的症状归咎于乳糜泻、一种饮食失调、“荷尔蒙和焦虑”,同时对包括白血病在内的其他疾病进行了检测,但没有成功。

  最后,在努力寻找答案之后,她被诊断出患有埃勒斯-丹洛斯综合症——一组罕见的遗传性疾病,使结缔组织变弱——以及胃轻瘫——一种食物通过胃的速度比正常速度慢得多的疾病。

  今天,她通过全肠外营养(TPN)——一种通过心脏直接进入血液的喂食管,获得了她所需的所有营养。

  试管不仅没有成为萨拉的负担,还让她有生以来第一次独立生活。她一直在TikTok上分享她令人难以置信的TPN之旅,她最受欢迎的视频播放量超过1600万次。

  “我过着久坐不动的生活方式,因为我很容易累。但我非常、非常感激能吃这种营养。”她说。

  “它带走了我的痛苦和痛苦,让我30年来第一次活了下来。”我对此非常感激。”

  Sarah keeps her bag on the back of her wheelchair. BEDFORD, UK: THIS WOMAN is forced to eat her food through her HEART after being misdiagnosed for 26-years but has won 16M views o<em></em>nline by docu<em></em>menting her plight. Sarah Cresswell (30) from Bedford, UK suffered for 26-years from undiagnosed digestive problems, but since defying medics and fighting hard to secure a diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, she has now finally been able to live independently, even if it means her o<em></em>nly food source is through a bag hooked up to heart for up to 15-hours per day. Sarah has posted a<em></em>bout her TPN journey on TikTok, with her most popular video racking over 16M views, with commenters overflowing the comment section with positivity and intrigue into her condition. Sarah was plagued with nausea, vomiting, pain, chro<em></em>nic fatigue, easy joint dislocations, seizures and brain fog for nearly her whole life. NHS medics blamed her symptoms on celiac disease while testing for other illnesses including Leukaemia, without success. Throughout her journey of fighting to be diagnosed, Sarah was also told that she had an atypical eating disorder and the doctors even went as far as wanting her to do inpatient treatment at a facility in London. Havin<em></em>g the stigma of an eating disorder o<em></em>nly strengthened Sarah?s struggle to get diagnosed correctly, until 2019 after Sarah herself came across Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Gastroparesis while researching her symptoms online. After realising she needed the help now more than ever as her symptoms worsened and the NHS would o<em></em>nly mean more waiting time, Sarah paid for private healthcare which meant she was finally able to receive an official diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which led the doctor to finally l<em></em>ink it to Gastroparesis as well. Sarah was given a nasojejunal feeding tube that fed her directly into her intestines for the next three years. However, in 2022 when Sarah co<em></em>ntracted COVID-19, she got gravely ill and had to have her tube removed due to her not being able to keep any food or medication down, alo<em></em>ngside a sinus infection ravaging her body, which she was left without proper hydration for several weeks during a 40-degree heatwave in the UK. This setback o<em></em>nly led to more hospital admissions and increased seizures alo<em></em>ngside not being able to keep down any food or medication. After a four-week hospital visit that meant she vomited what her tube fed her every night, she was admitted to Addenbrooke's treatment centre wher<em></em>e within 24-hours she was given a TPN and was diagnosed immediately with intestinal failure. A TPN, also known as Total Parenteral Nutrition is a feeding tube that goes straight into the bloodstream through the heart and gives the patient all the nutrients they need for the day in their simplest form. Sarah was denied TPN until then due to her being so young, but o<em></em>nce she was allowed it at Addenbrooke's, she thrived by putting on weight that she had been unable to do for so long and fortunately she suffered far fewer seizures. Sarah?s TPN works by the nutrients being fed directly into her bloodstream through a line in her chest called a Hickman line. The tip of line sits right at the entrance to her vena cava which is a vein that goes directly into her heart. Sarah does this every night and leaves the TPN in for around 12-to-15-hours in order to get her full nutrients for the day, including amino acids, minerals, electrolytes, fats (lipids) and glucose. ?I have Coeliac disease too, so at first everyone thought it was just that and that eventually my symptoms would ease. But they didn't,? she said. ?I suffered through my teens, even being tested for Leukaemia at one point. My stomach pain was always blamed on anxiety or hormones. ?In 2018 I was told I had an atypical eating disorder and they wanted me to do inpatient treatment at a facility in Lo<em></em>ndon (I thankfully didn't have to go), but o<em></em>nce the diagnosis of Eating Disorder is on your file, it becomes incredibly difficult to get other doctors to take me seriously. ?Multiple times I ended up in hospital with dehydration and extreme low blood sugars and vomiting, o<em></em>nly to be seen by a psych doctor and never one from Gastro. ?When I eventually did see a Gastro doctor, they didn't do any investigations except blood tests and a single endoscopy, but basically kept me in hospital until my blood sugars were stable enough to go home.? Sarah had to fight to be diagnosed, havin<em></em>g to do her own research before she had to pay to get private healthcare. ?I had to do my own research in the end, and that's when I came across Ehlers Danlos and Gastroparesis in 2019,? she said. ?I ended up havin<em></em>g to go private to get my EDS diagnosis because the NHS waiting times were too long and I needed access to help now; help that I could o<em></em>nly receive if I had a formal diagnosis. mediadrumimages/@nauseatedsarah

  多年来,萨拉也被告知她患有“非典型饮食失调”,“焦虑”加剧了她的消化问题。

  “我也有乳糜泻,所以一开始大家都以为只是这样,最终我的症状会缓解的。”但他们没有,”她说。

  “我十几岁的时候很痛苦,甚至一度被检测出患有白血病。我的胃痛总是归咎于焦虑或荷尔蒙。

  “2018年,我被告知患有非典型饮食失调症,他们希望我在伦敦的一家机构接受住院治疗(谢天谢地,我没有去),但一旦饮食失调的诊断被记录在你的档案中,让其他医生认真对待你就变得非常困难了。”

  2019年,莎拉自己在网上研究症状时遇到了埃勒斯·丹洛斯综合征和胃轻瘫。

  她觉得自己在英国国家医疗服务体系下毫无进展,于是支付了私人医疗费用,收到了埃勒斯·丹洛斯综合征的官方诊断,这使得英国国家医疗服务体系的医生最终将其与胃轻瘫联系起来。

  在接下来的三年里,萨拉接受了一根鼻空肠喂食管,直接将她送入肠道。但在2022年,她在感染了新冠病毒后不得不拔掉了输卵管。

  她说:“在小心翼翼地保护和避免感染后,我得了新冠病毒,但新冠病毒蹂躏了我的身体。”

  “我吃东西吃药都咽不下。我的鼻窦也感染了,这意味着我的管子必须取出来,所以我在40度的热浪中没有适当的补水好几个星期。”

  她开始经历癫痫发作的增加,最终被送到剑桥的阿登布鲁克治疗中心,在24小时内给她做了TPN,并被诊断为肠道衰竭。

  萨拉的TPN通过她胸部的一根叫做希克曼管的线,将营养物质直接输送到她的血液中。每天晚上,她都会在绳子上绑上一个袋子,大约12到15个小时,以便获得一天所需的全部营养,包括氨基酸、矿物质、电解质、脂肪(脂质)和葡萄糖。

  萨拉在处理电线时必须“非常干净”,因为感染可能很快导致危及生命的败血症。但使用这个包实际上增加了她的社交生活和独立性,而不是阻碍了它。

  她说:“如果我晚上上网出去,这个包就挂在我的轮椅上,所以我不会注意到它。”

  “如果我想旅行,我会带很多额外的行李,但在英国旅行最容易(我们把所有东西都放在车里),如果我想出国旅行,我有额外的行李限额。”

  “为了避免感染,我还必须保持绳子干燥;我不能把它浸在水里,这意味着我不能再去游泳、洗澡或泡热水澡了。

  “我很怀念这种感觉,尤其是在水里真的能缓解关节疼痛。淋浴很好,因为水是不断流动的。”

  尽管TPN给莎拉带来了明显的挫折,但她仍然非常积极,这是由她在TikTok上从粉丝那里得到的积极反馈所激励的。

  她说:“我在TikTok上的粉丝们认为这绝对是迷人的,我同意。”

  “有些人经常同情我,歪着头,用一种居高临下的口吻说‘我很遗憾你必须这样生活’,或者在我的社交网络上评论‘我宁愿死也不愿这样生活’,我一点也不喜欢这些话。”

  我收到的负面评论之多,我一只手都数不过来。谢天谢地,其他人都很友善。”

  胃轻瘫是指食物通过胃的速度比正常速度慢。

  胃轻瘫的症状开始于进食后,可能包括:

  感觉很饱比平时少——你可能吃不完饭

  感觉不舒服和生病

  肚子疼痛

  胃灼热

  腹胀

  如果你有这些症状一段时间了,你可能也在减肥。向你的医生寻求建议。来源:NHS。

  萨拉说,她也从她的信仰和她的丈夫那里获得了力量,她的丈夫是她的注册照顾者。

  她说:“有时候我真的懒得上网,就像做饭一样,没人愿意每天都做饭,但不幸的是,TPN没有外带服务。”

  “我的基督教信仰增强了我的积极性。只有依靠上帝每天赐予我的力量,我才能度过难关。”

  萨拉目前正在为一把电椅筹款,这样她就可以更独立地对待她的孩子了网卡的疾病。你可以通过GoFundMe找到细节。
