Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Hey , thanks for the pics, was the pic of your throat very blurry? or is it a computer problem? I'd like a clearer view. TOPS ((HUGS)), GLORIA Quote
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I know right! It's unbelievable and I think all of this is caused by acid reflux. It seems to get worse when I drink diet drinks so I think I'm going to do my best to give them up this year. Wish me luck! And I have been dealing with this since October 1 and I'm friggin' tired of it! I can't wait to get 100% again! KOPS LOVE, Re: pictures of my throat Can't believe the difference in your throat and a normal one !!!!!! NO wonder you couldn't breathe !!!!!!! And how long have you been suffering with this now ?????!!!!!!! pictures of my throat This is gross so don't look if you don't want to see! I have sent a picture of a normal throat and then a double picture of mine. EMAIL SUPPORT TEXAS-STYLE!!THE CRAZIEST BUNCH OF "LOSERS" ON THE 'NET'!!Visit us on the web: http://www.texastops.org Quote
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I guess the carbonation (?)in the drinks does it ???? At least you know something to try !!!! pictures of my throat This is gross so don't look if you don't want to see! I have sent a picture of a normal throat and then a double picture of mine.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 I am going to cut down and stop drinking diet drinks this week! I am going to talk to my doctor about it next week and see what she says. I also weighed on the scale tonight after not eating for almost 24 hours and I was 13.50 lbs. OUT of leeway. UGH...I know...but not too much that I can't get off before my medical excuse expires or before I return to TOPS. Maybe when the swelling goes down I'll lose some weight? Maybe my throat swelled up 13.50 lbs.? LOL! Re: pictures of my throat I guess the carbonation (?)in the drinks does it ????

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Surely that's fluid retention !!!!!! Plus you haven't been able to exercise !!!!!! You WILL be able to get back in leeway !!! You may need that medical excuse though to help until you're back 100% !!!!!! Hugs,Randie pictures of my throat This is gross so don't look if you don't want to see!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 , giving up diet drinks isn't all that hard - - - you can drink flavored water and never miss it!! I guy BIG bottles of flavored water at the dollar store for 50 cents! Hope you're feeling better QUICKLY when you start your meds. (((HUGS))) Clara Quote

Hang in there we are all rooting for you. Betty 2 Quote
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 , giving up diet drinks will be good for you in more ways than one. You can do it...I havn't had a soda since April'05 and I'm never drinking them again. The carbination is not good for your bones anyway! That's what my orthopedist told me. I hope your doc finds the right combo of meds to get you ALL better. You need to be in tip top shape for SRD! HUgs, pictures of my throat This is gross so don't look if you don't want to see!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 HI george. I can tell you what you cant eat .. rich food ,gravies cream, hot spices, hot chili, sodas. ( the worst ) coffee, beer, and liquor and wine ,, How do I know I,ve had it for over 20 yrs even had surgery for it (its a terrible surgery they either cut your breast bone or go in by the side under your ribs, guess what it came back so Im on meds now until I go back to canada then I go for a scope in april and and june if the esoghagus dont stay open I will need the same surgery again needles to say I dont eat to much of that food and take my meds everyday,, so think about the sodas you drank in the last few days,,, watch what you drink and eat my friend and you will get better Hugs Helen Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! wrote: From your lips to God's ears !And I have only had about 3 diet sodas since Friday the day of my test. I didn't have one at all yesterday or today and I'm VERY proud of that. I am drinking more tea, water, and I bought some Crystal Light to go packets and I'm putting them in my water whenever I want something different than just water. So far it's working. I'm doing okay today. I have good days and I have bad days but I'm just trying to be patient and let the meds due their job and realize it won't go away over night. I am going to research GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease) and see what I should stay away from in the food/drink area as well.
