None of these were the problem. Finally diagnosed properly when it got to the point where hardly any food made it all the way to my stomach in an orderly fashion. <br /><br />It absolutely requires a medical diagnosis.<br />Symptoms include a backflow of food in the throat (regurgitation), chest pain, and weight loss.<br />I experienced pain in the chest (food was stuck)<br />Gastrointestinal issues like heartburn or regurgitation.<br />Closer to the diagnosis was I having difficulty swallowing, difficulty belching and weight loss. I always felt like there was a ill stuck in my throat. Turns out there usually was. I take medicine for blood pressure and thyroid twice daily. The pills would get stuck and eventually dissolve and pass through. It was however very hard on my body. High-resolution esophageal manometry test is done while swallowing water to see if your esophagus has enough pressure to push the food down. By the time my test were taken I often could not keep water down. Had to drink slow and steady.<br /> My thought is when you go jogging and this food has now turned to fluid as it sits in your esophagus then comes right up with exercise. I had a Heller Myotomy and Fundoplication. Took a few months to eat normal food again but I am as good as gold. I hope this can help in any/some way.

He has a droopy eye and mouth that could easily have been a result of nerve damage during jaw surgery. He doesnt have muscle weakness or shortness of breath, unsteady gait or inability to swallow etc. The gagging reflex is not associated with MG as he suffers it after exercise, a common problem. With regards to the doctor in the clip, he is a basic practitioner, who due to previous sanctions involving his drug problem, is not permitted to prescribe anything stronger than blood pressure pills or antibiotics. He is one of their clique as his wife is a doula who has run birthing classes amongst them. I'm sure the clip was just material for the show as any serious medical testing would naturally be privateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-76632125084634209552017-02-02T08:42:20.706-06:002017-02-02T08:42:20.706-06:00He picked her up at airport..in full view of TLC c...He picked her up at airport..in full view of TLC crew....they were waiting for rest of family--decorating crew...to arrive....🙄Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-60272191120766681702017-02-01T22:44:40.141-06:002017-02-01T22:44:40.141-06:00Sorry, not the children article Derick but this on...Sorry, not the children article Derick but this one on exercise--http://www.livestrong.com/article/93038-exercise-acid-reflux/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-7328571206696305962017-02-01T21:03:53.941-06:002017-02-01T21:03:53.941-06:00I completely agree with a food allergy test.

Food allergies present themselves differently in every body. However, not all food allergies result in an instant anaphylactic reaction. An accumulative reaction (Igg) builds up in your body and slowly creates layers of symptoms (runny nose, drainage, skin issues, ear pain, soar throat, joint pain, fatigue etc, etc.) Even if a food allergy test (blood test) returns with some false negatives, I would try an elimination diet to see how you feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-23993035081184042452017-02-01T18:38:03.691-06:002017-02-01T18:38:03.691-06:00Why do we have to read unprofessional opinions and...Why do we have to read unprofessional opinions and suggestions about Dericks condition?

Five checked bags and 6 extra baggage fees, if not excess weight surcharged, too (never did explain if Jessa got everything down to weight limit). Six times $25 is $150, the very minimum extra they would have paid. That's a good 10 boxes at $15 a piece, shipped AK to TX (pillows aren't heavy). They could have each taken a suitcase with clothes and the most breakable stuff (they were only there a weekend), and shipped the rest. Or sent it with the crew. Or supported the Laredo economy and bought stuff there. I'm sure they have pillows and sheets and white towels in Laredo. Does this family think things through like that?<br /><br />I fly a lot, too, and I ship things to my destinations so I don't have to struggle with extra bags and extra car space. But then I don't have a film crew following me around, picking up my tab.
