Two for the price of one (questions, of course!)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don't get burning in my jaw but, my ear will start burning

sometime, really bad. After feeling like someone has a

match to my ear for about an hour or so, I get this awful

earache. I never mentioned this to my NSG, I guess thats

another symptom I'll have to mention.

swallowing has always been a problem. It's just gotten

worse.

Ok, are you ready out there? The question(s) of the day are coming up! [roar of

the audience in the background...]

Ok, so I have a flair for the dramatic. It keeps my spirits up... =)

Hopefully it makes you guys smile...

On to the questions. First--along the lines of the burning sensations that some

get in their backs, has anyone felt that same sort of sensation in their jaw

muscles? It's not very often but I want to keep myself in check to make sure

I'm not peering too deeply into the cavern of darkness that is ACM1...

Next, on the topic of swallowing, is one of the feelings a very painful feeling

that I associate with not drinking enough water or liquid when taking a pill?

My mother (in her infinite wisdom) says it's my esophagus spasming after the

pill got stuck. Anyway, it hurts like blue blazes for nearly a half hour

afterwards, what ever it is! As always, any thoughts/experiences/adventures

welcomed!

Thanks,
