Hi Deborah,

 

From your (at the beach) posts I wasn't sure that it was you at first (with a

different email address).

I am so sorry to read that you have been going thru this aggravating time that

you seem unable to do anything about.

I hope the court rules in your favor and you'll be able to resume a " normal "

life soon.

 

There probably is not much I can tell you that you don't already know, though

Notan (as you well know) always comes up with something when all else fails.

 

Clearly you recognize and appreciate the connection between NCCPS and stress, so

perhaps you are really asking for a way of reducing your stress (given the

stalker does not get put away or finds a new " career. " )

 

Its beyond anything I can tell you as to how to deal with this type of stress,

but I would venture to say that there is a very real possibility that your

present swallowing problems are also due to the same stress you are going thru

and might ease if your stalker stops.

 

For now, besides trying to reduce your stress levels (perhaps thru some

acceptable drug), focus on making sure your esophagus is cleared, not just after

finishing a meal, but before starting your next meal. Inability to swallow water

can be frightening and indicative of a more serious issue other than a stressed

induced tightening of your LES.  If your situation does not improve after two

weeks I strongly recommend that you have either or both an endoscopy or barium

swallow. How long has it been since your last one?  In the meantime, eat as

slowly as you can and drink as much as you can tolerate, and hopefully the food

will go down and reduce the possibility of aspirating.

 

Having read all your posts since you first arrived at this site around 7 years

ago, I really feel your pain and frustration and how this has affected the

quality of your life. Please keep us up to date on how you are doing.

Hi, I actually wrote a letter to you guys but it did not register,

so, I'll try to reconstruct what I thought I sent.

NCCPS: I am having them more and more lately. I think it's the

result of a neighbor who has been stalking me.

I am a known author-illustrator of children's books and I've had

two stalkers but they have since vanished.

This guy lives directly across the street from me and

he has stalked about 12 other women in my small area.

So far he is the main suspect in my home burglary (broke in

and stole my two security cameras trained on him and his home),

also the main suspect in manually turning off my water main,

and he tried to kill one of my ie dogs, he also

chased me around my home, down my driveway and almost

right into my house, screaming and threatening me with

violence. He's a drunk and he's totally unpredictable.

Try sleeping at night with a drunken, druggie banging on

your bedroom window with a flashlight in the middle of

the night. (I am only one of a dozen females he likes to

do this to. I did ask other victims to join me in a sort

of class-action lawsuit but most of them are elderly

and scared to death of his vindictiveness.)

I now have eleven counts against him, coming up in

a court proceeding, in two weeks's time.

My chest is beginning to be a very serious problem and I

will be calling Dr. Conklin (Cedars- BH, Ca.)

tomorrow morning,

in the hope that he can help me.

I am also having trouble swallowing water again,

and a bit of foam is coming up, again, and I have

a lot of saliva-pooling. I had my Hellers in Jan. '06,

Dr. Fuller, at Cedars-Sinai.

Anything anyone can say will help me.

I don't mind losing weight again but I hate

aspirating. And, I'd rather just live my

life in peace.

Thank you.

Deborah
