Thanks. It seem as though you have passion for what you do, and for your patients. You are intelligent, and a good teacher. This helped me out a lot. I have been going through this for over a year. GOD IS GOOD IS ALL THAT I CAN SAY. Because I WASN'T supposed to be here. It got rough. God bless. 💜 💚💙

Thanks for this video. I've had on/off esophagitis for at least 18 years. I finally had an endoscopy done 2 years ago and was diagnosed with mild chronic esophagitis suggestive of reflux esophagitis and put on 40 mg of omeprazole daily for 8 weeks. I now just take 20 mg daily. I had some lower GI issues, most likely a GI bug about 3 weeks ago that has been slow to go away, and for about 10 days I've had a flare up of esophagitis symptoms that have been bad- pain in chest, hoarse voice, feels like food is stuck in my chest/throat, belching, bloating, and what feels like gas pains in my back. I worry about esophageal cancer and just hope that's not what's going on. Of course, my anxiety over this is probably making my symptoms worse, and I can't get in to see a GI doc for a month, ugh.

This is excellent advice and the presentation is superb. Folks change your lifestyle, diet, and the company you keep. Walking, jogging, or running is pivotal. In this presentation is vital information for us to sustain survival. I had spine surgery and picked up weight, then coronavirus hit. I’m definitely aware of what is going on. I’ve been in the house since January 30th 2021. I have not been going to a gym because I was trying to avoid Covid. We’re damn if we do, and damn if we don’t. Win some, to win some, to lose some. Don’t become lost with this situation, make the necessary adjustments in your diet, and start exercising. Cut out spicy foods, chocolate, sodas, and coffee immediately. Hard to swallow foods need to go bye bye…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 don’t suffer, or torture yourself. See a doctor immediately.

Can’t someone have two different types of infectious types of medicine? Do you then give them one from each type on the list? Or is there one that will take care of two types?
