I feel like I have something stuck in my esophagus and I haven't eaten for at least 4 hours. I want that damn endoscopy now. #chronicpain #spoonie #NEISvoid
@georgiehopper I lost 30 pounds between October 2021 and January 2022. Unfortunately I've probably gained at least 10 of it back. I'm on 40mg Omeprazole and 10mg Pepcid at night and still having symptoms. Sigh.
@spooniechels oh, how I know that feeling. I have a meandering esophagus because of so much emesis. Probably getting scoped next week. I’m holding out hope to get the capsule this time. I believe this will be the sixth or seventh time I’ve been scoped. Fun fun fun!
@FreyaMeansLady I assume it requires light sedation?
@spooniechels upper and lower endoscopy certainly do. However, this is capsule endoscopy so it’s about the size of a large vitamin and you just swallow it.
@FreyaMeansLady Yeah, I'm not sure which my doctor will refer me for. Frankly, I'm open to all of it.
@spooniechels
I went through that myself and was diagnosed with early Barett's esophagus
