Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi all well after yesterday I am up to some what posting. Talk about sore! man my gut and throat hurt big time! So far I was told I have a fungus infection down deep in my esophagus around the stomach area. My acid reflux has been very very active and caused some damage that is not too good. They now say I also have Barrett¢s Esophagus and have taken a bunch of biopsies from it. I will know more come the 13th. This is what I have been dealing with, Coughing for no reason, feeling full all the time and never wanting to eat (no appetite); shortness of breath, hard time releasing gas both ends upper and lower LOL, gas so bad it shut off ability to get air and some other things I will not post as there well gross. This is also what unfortunately a bad trate that runs in my dad's side of the family. The good news is I know I did not have these 8 years ago. At that time I only had the acid reflux. This is one of the areas that during the time of all the testing I went threw, trying to find out what was going on, before they said I had stills, has come in to play being that time some of the same test that were done then are now being used as a base line against the new test today. So a silver lining to all. the test of discovery of stills. At lest I did manage to get all of them from my ex before she got ride of them! So any of you be ya newly diagnosed or down the road a few years ya just never know when all that testing you went threw may come in handy for some thing other. See in my case they found nothing then and now that is a good thing as they have a time frame and base line to work with. so now as we all have enjoyed a time or two I get to sit on pins and needles for almost two weeks trying not to let my mind go places it is best not to go to tell I have some hard core results to work with and directions on what treatments if any are workable for me. Sad part is in this case the internet has not scared me any more then what I already was because of past families medical dealings. Now I am just a bit more informed and scared LOL but with being more informed and a driven will the only thing getting to me it the not knowing and the waiting because to me it is wasted time I could be using to attack LOL O well Pashents was never one of my virtues Hugs all and more to come after the 13th when I know more. the rednecks Marty & G. the redneck's my space http://www.myspace.com/martyg58 Stills ; An illness I know to well!
