#esophagitis
Text
Today I am going in to get an EGD. Nearly 2 weeks ago, I took my morning medicine and something went a little wrong. Ended up with esophagitis. Been taking it slow all week and am very thankful I was given a quick appointment (I was expecting next week or longer out).
Anyway, today I go in to get it checked out. It's currently 5:42am and the check in is at 11:40. Cannot eat a thing all day until after the procedure. So I'm praying the morning goes quickly.

What is Esophagus cancer?
Esophageal cancer develops in the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. It often begins in the cells lining the esophagus and can spread to other parts of the body as it advances. Symptoms might include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, weight loss, and heartburn.

I was completely healthy until I started university, I started to have stress rashes on my skin, panic attacks
and now in my final year, I got diagnosed with gastritis and esophagitis (if I don't treat that it can evolve into cancer)

I am in absolute digestive agonies and have to call in to work tomorrow and am in so much pain maybe I have to give up coffee??? Is it my meds and iron? I take them with food? Idk its just really hard to stick to foods I know don't hurt when I'm not in control of all my meals, constantly surrounded by my family's food, judged for the meal planning I DO do by my mother because I (inadvertently) create too much produce waste by trying to eat vegetarian, too tired to cook most of the time, have food anxieties in general ,etc etc etc
It was. So much easier when I was on my own. And 100% in control of the kitchen + what foods were even PRESENT. No temptation to have something quick and easy if it's not in the house. No one to be upset when my spinach goes bad in the fridge. Etc etc
Also I hate tea. But I need a morning time hot drink?? I NEED it?? Apple cinnamon smthn? Ginger lemon?? Send me ur non-tea recs I guess
#uhhhh#tw disordered eating#maybe???#less like ED more like GERD or some sort of IBD#mixed with food anxiety bc sensory issues#anyway. without going into details. i am. unwell#and i feel like theres holes in my sromach lining and esophageal sphincter#why is throwing up literally the worst

Quite a haul from the gastroenterology appointment this afternoon!
We've now got quite a supply of disinfectant stuff and "glideslime", plus a fistful of gauze swabs to use with them.
Plus that (useless for me) box of individual packs of lidocaine goop.
They also threw in about half a pack they had handy of hospital barf bags. Can't forget the barf bags, apparently! 🙃
Not to mention the centerpiece, looking like the world's crappiest hose to beat people with.
Which I am intended to snake down my throat on a regular basis, with the tape line as a guide of how far to go. Which I did in office already, a couple of times. That was fun. At least I did show the foresight to skip lunch beforehand, is all I can say.
They pulled out what looked for all the world like some particularly large pool cue case, but full of a graduated set of tapers rather than cues. (Small blessings? 🥴) I halfway expected to get sent home with that, but no today they decided to just cram that smallish one in a plastic bag.
I am actually trying this shit voluntarily, btw.
Home self-torture was mentioned as a possible option not that long after we got here--I think partly to hopefully cut down on how often I needed the gastroscopy treatments while we were still having to pay completely out of pocket before I was covered by the local system. Then it didn't come up again. I actually brought it up myself pretty recently, after they decided to switch me over onto the much more involved (and totally fucking miserable) full outpatient day surgery under general anesthesia plan for the procedures.
I would really like to continue being able to swallow and, like, live. But, I truly do not know how much longer I can force myself to do that on a monthly basis. So yeah, I will gladly snake out my own damn throat like a balky drain if it might hopefully mean that I can keep going without the standing appointments in Medical Trauma Hell* which are also physically much harder on me than the previous arrangement.
Anyway, they were really not sure about this, especially since the worst of the damage to the esophagus is way down the pipe, almost to my stomach. These drain snake hoses are apparently what they were relying on themselves for dilation treatments before endoscopes were a thing, so it (thankfully) wasn't necessarily a question of how effective that approach might be. More how well the person might be able to tolerate reaming out their own throat that far.
Their department has evidently only had two other patients taking the DIY approach, both of them with strictures much higher up. (Though I was reassured that both of them did manage to go at least several years between needing further professional help.)
But yeah, I am highly motivated and pretty damned stubborn. I do appreciate that they are actually willing to talk to me, and seeming to consider comfort as a somewhat important consideration. All of which is one hell of a lot better than I could say for the clowns in London during actual procedures.
I did try the next size up in the office too, but that was enough trickier today with several people watching me deepthroat plastic plumbing snakes that for now they just sent me home with the small 5mm hose. I am scheduled to go back next week for another round in Day Surgery Hell anyway, and they might give me more then. It should also be easier to manage with bigger ones once they've reamed the esophagus out again.
_________
* They have been treating me like an actual person at that hospital, consistently. But, PTSD just being stuck in a situation like that for most of a day. No wonder medical professionals keep not being happy at what my blood pressure is doing.
