Thanks so much for your encouragement since I shared the results of my physical a few weeks ago. Your feedback and concern both online and in person has helped me realize the commonality of health problems and the overwhelming support of my friends.
One possible culprit
After my last blog posting, one of my sisters called me and explained that she has experienced a very similar issue when swallowing her food. In fact, she’s been diagnosed with Sjogrens (pronounced Show Grins) syndrome. It’s systemic autoimmune disorder where immune cells destroy the glands that produce tears and saliva. For her condition, she takes Evoxac or Salagen.
Thanks again, everyone, for your concern.
John
My esophagogastroduodenoscopy is scheduled for Friday, August 30th at Oschner Hospital in Jefferson.
