Finally I started gaging, and feeling like I was going to throw up, but couldn't well, then to the doctors I went I couldn't catch my breath because I had suffered for 3 months. Well then at the doctors..they got me a speicalist to go see...well he couldn't see me because he was going on vacation! The doctor then had to run and get something because I was gaging in his office again, so they admitted me right away. I stayed in for 4 days, they ran losts of test, took losts of blood, gave me cat scans and everything else, they gave me a burium swallow test where, they'd watch me swallow on my side, back stomach and stuff and i had to drive through a straw, i had bad trouble with that, so test results came back, and they told me what was wrong with me, and they placed me on medication, that helps control it but does not take it away.
I suffer from Esophageal Spasms. I have to to carry around finnegan for the rest of my life, because I can't throw up, my muscles tighten up, and close so nothing comes out, I also suffer from jaw pain, headaches, stomach discomfort, muscle aches, joint pain, and swollen elbow and knee joints.
I also have this thing they call "clicking" It sounds something like a hiccup, but it's actually my throat opening and closing I have medication to help control that, the spasms cause it hard to breathe when I have one. I don't often gag because I have had this for 2 years now, and I've got the hang of taking what I need to before I have an attack, cause dizziness, blood pressure to raise, because you are obviously scared you'll choke to death, fever (sometimes for me) mainly just get extremely hott, and I shake, as if i am cold, nothing can be done for that its how my body affects to what my body is reacting to.
My spasms have caused not to be able to drive a car. Recently, I've got clearance from my doctors to drive with a license driver in my car again. As far as being able to be active like sports and such..I would walk to the kicthen, and my diafram would be so tired because any morement caused a spasms to my esophagus. I have sense 2 years later am able to do a lot more, and i've got the hang of it.
My case is Medium. I am not in the area of having surgery. They don't know much about Esopageal Spasms it's really rare, and they do not know what actually tiggers it, some say it's related to diet and food, but i'm a rather healthy person, so that is a no for me. I am unable to get my teeth cleaned (dentist), or anything UNLESS i am put to sleep because of how bad my spasms are.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL INCONVENIENCE THERE LADY.

And yes ahmonrah, she sounds much more intelligent than that hobag Autumn. That's why I'm not attacking her right now. I'd rather have a conversation with her than attack her for no reason.
Yes it has been miresable, which is WHY i did not like QD's purge much comment. I've had to struggle like hell to get back into some what decent shape because I was a VERY active peron when it came to being phyiscally fit.Quote:

Some things I eat I have to swallow a lot more than the regular person to get the food to actually pass, it feels like something is stuck in my throat a lot of the time, based around when I am having a so called "bad" day.
Wow. So nothing can like actually fix it? Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but I have never heard of this and I think it is fascinating to learn new things.Quote:

Everyones symptoms are different, mine consist of:
Joint pain
elbow knee joints swelling
gaging (medication to stop that quickly)
tension headaches
tightness of the neck and lower back
sore throats (do to muscle tightness)
clicking
not being able to sleep on my sides on some nights do the spasm causes it harder to breathe, so i must sleep on my back.
shaking
feeling hot
having a fever from the muscle spasms (only when having a 45-1 1/2 hour attack) *note have not had one in a while *crosses fingers*
feeling overly full when i have not eaten at all
slight pain the right side of my chest do to this problem
Those are all that come to the top of my head at the moment.
I understand. No problem.Quote:

But whos to say one day..I won't become immune to the medicatiton, they'll change it, and change it until nothing works which then will be surgery, also, they say even with it done...no promise it will actually slow the muscle contractions down that cuase a spasm, so oh well.
*EDIT* Sorry for typos im trying to type everyones answers as fast i can in case others ask about it.
But assholes none the less! :lmfao:Quote:

Haha. Well my favorite sport is Taekwondo. But since i'm on a LONG break from that, I became a runner to maintain my body tyle. I am running again with weights on my akles to train so i'll be able to keep up with the sparring and endurance and regular class again. I'd like to get my itty bitty ass back in the top 10 again. :)Quote:
