Hey THere,

I have posted on here alot in the past several months.I went to another Drs Appt in Winston-Salem & they told me there was nothing else they can to do for me.I was told to live with itor seek psych help)I have had for the past now 10 months " a feeling of something stuck in my throat" along with other issues.I have also had the burningsore throat.ITs not like a heartburn feeling/just a stabbing pain in the top of my throat & it hurts.LIke strep everyday,but its not strep.I have tried all reflux meds& home remedeys.The Dr.told me she was surprised the botox injection did not work for me.HOw can i keep getting worse & not better.With todays technology why cant i be fixed!!!Please does anyone know of something else i can try or somewhere else i can go? Has anyone had any success with Chinese herbs.I tried acupunture & that didnt help/ you name it & i have tried it in the past 10 months hoping to return normal again.IS there hope.ITs hard to think about just how much money has gone down the drain with medical bills & meds & nothing has worked.I wish before i got sick,i would have not taken my health for granted.I used to feel normal & didnt even think about all in oneday it all could change.I would have cherised it,because now i dont even remember what its like to feel normal & all i want to do is enjoy Life & my kids.At 28 yrs old,theres got to be something good to come of this.I need some uplifting here..

So sorry you are suffering so much with this. I can only offer you my empathy because i have been suffering reflux disease for over 2 years, with no sign of anything improving. I have tried EVERYTHINGI as well, and nothing has cured my condition. I wish I could tell you what works, but honestly nothing works for me. This is a nasty disease and people that dont have chronic reflux dont understand what we go through everyday. I hope you feel better

I wish I could offer some help too but only thing would be that I've had it for 10 yrs. Guess that doesn't help much. LOL. I'm going thru the round again and seriously looking into surgery. That's about the last thing left. Who knows? Sometimes people will get better for years before another spell. This is what I wish for you!

You've had a lot of tests. Have you had a pH probe to test if you actually have acid reaching your throat? My ENT does a pH probe for your UES that will measure just that. It might help you at least rule something out if nothing else.

For me, the EGD's didn't show anything, even with all my reflux related problems.
