Megabooks I‘ve been sick all afternoon/evening. I‘m going to have get my esophagus stretched ASAP. 😭 I‘m sick of procedures/surgeries. Idk what I‘m going to do without my dad with me. I‘m in so much pain. 4y
Megabooks Minor Feelings and Apothecary are coming for me in the next two weeks too! 4y
Cinfhen Oh no!!!! I‘m sitting here feeling helpless, why do you need that particular procedure?? I have so little medical knowledge but it seems severe. I‘m sorry if I‘m infringing , I‘m just so worried about you @Megabooks I wish I lived nearby....I‘m so sorry you‘re in such pain 💔 4y

Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks dear friend. I just appreciate you listening. Basically they use a scope to thread a balloon to the bottom of my esophagus and inflate it to stretch out the area. I‘ve had it done once. I talked to an on call nurse and she thought could probably wait until Monday to get worked in for it as long as I only eat soft food. Salty warm broth helps, so that‘s good. 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen oh you asked why! I have a specific, local allergic-type reaction in lower esophagus called eosinophilic esophagitis. From time to time, it swells enough to block the entrance to my stomach. It is as uncomfortable/painful as it sounds. The above procedure is the treatment. I take prescription Prevacid twice a day (4 otc pills every day). It helps some but mine is not particularly responsive to meds. 4y
Cinfhen Is this related to your gluten allergy @Megabooks ? Are you able to keep the broth down?? I‘m keeping you in my thoughts/ hoping you find some comfort soon 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen no, they‘re separate conditions. I kept the broth down. It seemed to help with the swelling and discomfort. Thanks so much. Just trying to make it until I can get worked in! 💕 4y
Librarybelle Good luck! 4y
Cinfhen Thanks @Librarybelle ❣️ 4y
