Hi Gang I have it again , the choking from what I call the flapper valve not sealing off my lungs.
Doctor calls it Oropharyngeal dysphagia.
With costrochondritis. (Sore sternum) and ribs.
My throat burns like I drank something to hot.
The burning wont go away after 10 days.
Cold then hot back and forth.
I got another specialist appointment Friday.
This bites because I am supposed to drive to Wyoming very soon for 3 weeks.
I can't figure out what is causing it.
Lyme? EBV? Strep? Some strange deer disease I get in the wildlife area were I hunt? Like purple tung crossing over to humans? Yeast infection? Esafageal cancer?
I had this in Feb. and March , it slowly went away but not completely.
What is this crap??????

- Any news clothes or textiles in your home? Lots of chemicals / dyes there.
Be sure all fuzzy items are out of your way (bath mats - a cork mat is better for lungs) . . . fuzzy stuff in bedroom really rough on lungs, too. -

Hi Keebler Nothing new,I am chem. sensitive so I am very careful of them.
I use very few if any Sented things. I do like the apple Dawn dish washing liquid.
I have been using tons of DEET I bought the spray kind just before this all started instead of the pump. Now I wonder if inhaleing the spray is the problem.

Maddog those are my sx
Started with reflux(burning) if you cant control it with diet or meds it can get worse and unfortuneatly lead to esophageal cancer. Not a goid thing to have.
I went frim burnung to choking to waking up at night with vomit in my mouth
That got me backbto specialust. I was afraid i would choke and die in my sleep. He said i wouldnt
But he did endoscopy and dx me with barretts esophagus. Which is pre cancerous
I have to stay awy frim foods that bring burning, take meds that stop burning and sleep with head raised
Do whatever you have to do to keep burning away. Its a bad cancer
For me costochondritis is more left over lyme and magnesium and or muscle relaxant takes care of it
