Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi Leanne, yep I have had that test done Its yukky but you do survive!! The woman who does the test at epworth? is really nice. she puts the tube down your nose etc and does all these tests, then she pulls it out and puts a thinner one in for 24 hours (mine was attached to a little computer machine to record the data). You can eat and drink and everything, its just uncomfortable. and its not a good going out to a party look, I locked myself in the house for 24 hours:) Lynne > > Hi all > > I'm having an " oesophageal study " on Friday morning to investigate my > reflux - courtesy of Dixon (The Avenue).
