Hello @lizwhite80. First, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Second, you never need to apologize for long posts here, as this community is for sharing your story, experiences, and concerns, and being thorough is encouraged!

First, I would like to invite @dandl48, @brie87144 @ryman, and @danybegood1 who all have discussed esophageal issues. While they don't share the same issue as you, they may have some similar experiences as yours as a result of the esophageal diagnoses.

Second, I would like invite @epvb, @klk370, and @megagrif who have all discussed having gastritis. Maybe these members could share if they have had any similar symptoms as to what you are experiencing.

Finally, I would like to invite @melperez1223, @kyjeanne, @jillnc, @marylou705, and @blindeyepug to join this discussion as well to share their experiences with Sjorgens.

@lizwhite80, you have experienced a lot of different symptoms and have been diagnosed with multiple issues. It sounds like you are dealing with a lot and are frustrated, but you have found a very supportive community and we thank you for finding us. If I may ask, has your physician or provider discussed with you about all of your past diagnoses and surgery's and whether or not they could be playing a role in your current symptoms?
