You are just so gracious and sweet!

I haven’t spoken to any ENTs. I just remember going to them a lot when I was a kid but not for the throat. I have to look into that as well.

It’s ok, the GP is the one that gives the refferal to a specialist, and she has written it, just that her computer network thing crashed and now I have to wait a few days til it’s…

Ughhh, we don’t have speech pathologists working in my town’s hospital. And from what my GP told my mom who went to get a referal for an endoscopy ( I still felt too sick to go and my mom was very gracious), I don’t need it and should just check in a psychiatric hospital. My neurologist told me that too. My…

Hi! I knew about the vagal nerve being connected to gagging! And I brought this up to my doctors and they just looked at me like I said there is a purple cow behind me. I don’t know why they dismissed this.
Sadly, I had the symptoms many years before the surgery in 1999, but it would come in waves and at that point, it…

Hello!
I only had a hernia surgery when I was a kid, but I had the symptoms even then, only on a much milder scale.
I didn’t know that could happen!

This is amazing! I am so glad that horrible tea helped!
I will look into it and see if I have some alternative practitioners in the area.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
Because of this thread and some googling and connecting some dots, I think I finally know what might be wrong!

I talked to my psychiatrist, the only doctor who didn’t give up on me and he said it makes sense and to make an appointment for an endoscopy as soon as possible.

Oh DreamSoda, I am so so sorry you have to go through this too!
I feel slightly better on a mix of antipsychotics and for the longest time I didn’t understand why. If it’s just anxiety, which I have, don’t get me wrong, then why am I not better while taking the antidepressant that took the anxiety and panic attacks…

Yes! I was in congitive-behavioral therapy and I had to track all day. But now it doesn’t even have a beginning or end. I am just super gaggy when I sleep (and then I dream about it), when I wake up, when I stuff a bit of pudding in my face to get some calories, when I take a breath.. Not cool, body, not cool.
Thank…

OH Gawd. I am so happy that you are better! Sounds you like went through a lot.
I was afraid of this answer. I have no clue how I will be able to do the gastroenterologist’s tests without being put into an artificial coma first. I guess I have to do it. I also have post nasal drip but that actually makes me feel better…

His character is spliced with feline DNA. Hear me purrrrrrr!
Such eye candy. Much wow.

Thank you so much, J. I am starting a hunt for a speech pathologist tomorrow!
Eeeeee and congratulations on your book! So exciting!

This is wonderful! Thank you for this! *swoons*

I just want to say how much I love your Janeway picture. Everytime I see you post a comment, I get all warm and fuzzy inside.
“There is coffee in that galaxy!”

Moving around feels great! You sound awesome!

Today I rediscovered my love of Alec and found this perfect gif. I didn’t appreciate him when I first saw Dark Angel, but now? He is my fave.
Thank you for your kind words.

What, you want some too? Comere!

Perfect gif is perfect.

Wow, it sounds like you are working with some really kind people! I love that. Much better than the *other* job. Just remember to have some compassion for yourself. I keep reminding myself that every day. You did the best you could, and you are a passionate person with expressive emotions. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, I always look for you on SNS when I can! So glad your dad is doing better! Remember how bad things looked like only a few months ago? And now it’s all getting better? You deserve every good thing imaginable.
