Not having a good day......

[Guest guest]

well today is one of my bad days.....funny how it starts...stomach

gets upset...then choke on something...that nomally goes down

fine..so can't find out if it's something that I ate...because it may

be ok that day....and next not. The choking is usually so bad that

it brings tears to my eyes.....the bite hurts the whole way down to

where it gets stuck. No spasms with it...but that will come later

usually in the night. Guess I'm feeling sorry for myself....just

never know what will happen from one day to the next.

Hi Jan;

You are sure not alone in having your "bad days". I am also able to eat something one day, only to be unable to eat it the next day. When you eat, you really do need to chew every bite until it is almost liquid. I nibble a lot during the day, eating every few hours. Does your stomach get upset often before you choke on your food? When you are having a really bad day it is wise to only have very bland food.

Sorry you are having a rough day,

.

Hi Jan,

When I would have a difficult day I would drink a glass

of wine while I ate. It seemed to relax my E. Don't

know if it worked for anyone else. Wine seemed to be the

only alcohol that would help specifically a zefandale. Don't

know why.

Hope you feel better.

Jan,

I know what you mean. That's one of the cruelest things about this particular problem, is that when you have good days, you think it may be part of a trend of healing or perhaps of better days ahead. Then without warning, the esophagus shuts down, and you can't be "normal" again, like you hoped you would.

I sympathize.
