another update March 7, 2014
.. Ive decided it's best just to not drink or eat anything at least so far.. i still have something from last night sitting in my throat and I'm not happy but as soon as I drink i'll activate the stomach and then be even more hungrier.. so no water even for me right now, i've only been up just a few hours i'll see how long that lasts for. I got in touch with the speech therapist and she suggested we do a upper esophageal study as well as a swallow study.. i got my appointment for Tuesday at 2pm.. I see my primary at 10am on Monday..hopefully he will order the upper esophageal study too so it can be done all at once. Im hoping to get some answers and figure out what to do.. other online peeps have said something about having the esophagus stretched... that makes me kinda worried.. as with the connective tissue disorder im concerned how this will play out. i don't wanna go on not eating or just on liquids which hurt as well. Im just so hungry but don't wanna eat and cause more agony, upset and discomfort. ugh! Just gotta try to survive the weekend.. tonight it my Brain and Cervical Spine MRI ... check in 7:30pm not looking forward to laying still for 2 hours in a machine.. my back hurt so bad last night i couldn't 'Sleep' till 4am and then only cause i was propped up, and rubbed tincture and arnica oil all over my back neck and shoulders.... what a life we lead.. so many things to think about and plan. knowing that there isn't much that can be done and that I trust people in the FB groups more than my own doctors. *sigh*Â
