I have been dealing with esophageal lichen planus for a couple years. I'm currently being treated at UNC. I have it bad my esophagus was 4mm I was choking on everything and I was eventually dilated to 16mm aftet several dilutions. I'm currently taking hydroxychloroquine but it's not effective my throat is closing back up. I hope back in about a week, for another dilation and see my Dermatologist and will soon start Methotrexate I'm nervous and feeling defeated at this point.
