    I had forgotten about esophageal spasms! I’ve never had one because on top of my other pain I think it was just flat out kill me and I don’t think I have much care. But I have a friend that suffers with that and her heart quit because her pain level was so high. she coded and the second she regained consciousness, the first thing she did was try to hit the dr with a lunch tray. She was that pissed at being alive. I kid you not… I still laugh about that to this day. She is gone now, but damned if she had didn’t do whatever single one of us has wanted to do to a doctor every now and then.

      Absolutely agree with Nutcraker! I have suffered with it for almost 50 years and most of that time no one could figure out what it was. It took them from the age of 14 to 52 to figure out what it was! And in the meantime I was on Prilosec for 15 years so even though I was lifting weights, heavy ones, I have osteopenia! Also Interstitial Cystitis of the bladder, it's  like having the worst bladder infection ever and the only way to figure out what it is, is to rule everything else out! It makes it impossible to think about anything else! I have both. Along with migraines two slipped disc's vulvadia which is a damage never in the vulva which is worse than almost any pain imaginable, like a branding iron stuck there 24-7, 365 days a year! Migraines, and arthritis. I'll be more than happy yo go. But I am treated right now, let's hope when I move in a month it contiues!
