I can’t imagine 10 years feeling like you have😔 I have been sick everyday for the past 16 months with never a relief from feeling horrible. I have all the symptoms you do. Have been to 6 GI doctors, 2 ENT, 2 surgeons. 4 endoscopies, Manometry, the worst, scans, ultrasounds, biopsies, gastric emptying. All this in the past year. The last scope was done a month ago at UCLA by an interventional endoscopic surgeon. Did an EUS, endoflip, wireguided dilation, previous 3 dilations have been balloon, and he was checking to see if I have Achalasia. Now I will start taking a low dose, 10ml of an antidepressant, Nortriptyline. Hoping it will help with the nerves in the esophagus and stomach. I’m trying to keep hopefully but it is difficult.
Can’t eat hardly anything which makes it difficult to gain any weight. Hope you can enjoy your vacation but I understand with feeling so sick and fatigued, it’s hard to even do simple things. You are right no one wants to hear about it after this long. They just don’t understand how it feels to have this everyday.

Hello I have been suffering with stomach pain, large intestine pain, colon pain, diverticulosis and mild diverticulitis, sensitive esophagus, plus had a fall to head and now have a brain lesion and trigeminal neuralgia. The drs can’t figure out why I have pain all the time before and after I eat. I also always feel like I can’t push out still but I’m not constipated. I understand how you feel. Last 3 years I feel sick everyday with pain. Meds don’t help. I can’t taste food to much. Prayer and faith in God is what helps me. I hope they can figure out your issues. DM
I’m so sorry for your issues. They sound like mine. I’m in constant pain in my upper abdomen. I can’t eat much and just continue to lose weight. I’ve had 4 different tests and 2 EGDs and nothing turns up. My dr just sends results of the tests with no comments. Can’t see her until November 28. I’m very frustrated. I know how you feel. I’m fortunate I have many people praying for me or I don’t know what I’d do. Hang in there.

Ridiculous after all those intense tests we have done ☑️. The only solution they gave you in low dose anti depressant.
It’s a nightmare that we can’t wake up from .
I’ll keep you in prayer 🙏. I’m just as sick here on vacation unfortunately.
