Really long story short, since Sept 1st I have not been able to swallow anything but liquids, after rounds of bloodwork, EKG's and an EGD my neurologist was able to conclude the above diagnosis. I can occasionally swallow something more solid for a couple of tiny bites before my throat closes. Then I cross my fingers and hope whatever I'm eating will get into my stomach and not stay stuck in my esophagus. My meds are playing havoc on me because of these issues and timing of them is crucial.
My doc tells me to be patient and lets see what happens. My stomach is shrinking, depression is running rampant and now I have holidays to contend with. I'm so hungry and I can't eat enough to feel full.
I don't know what to do anymore, or even how to explain this to anyone. Grocery shopping is torture, cooking for my family is torture, even watching food shows are torture.
I really have no questions, other than am I alone? Thanks for the opportunity to rant. Nobody else seems to understand.
