It's been a month of the delights of dysphagia.
I've managed to do my barium swallow and fluoroscopy. Which were a treat. Nothing like downing 3 cups of unflavoured barium in record time, to be put on a topsy-turvy table, tipped back and forth, all while being poked by a radiologist "to get it all moving." I will get those results this week.
And today, in record time, I had a consult with a gastroenterologist. Another appointment with a 4-year-old in tow. Considering this is my new speciality, I was wiser this time. We stole his brother's 3DS, and it kept him mesmerized and quiet the entire time! Although this doctor is also suspecting MS activity as the cause of the dysphagia, he still wants to do an endoscopy to see if there is any esophageal narrowing and to take biopsies (once you're in there you might as well just do everything...). That doesn't happen for a few months.
So many appointments, soooo little time! Only about 5 more to go before the Holidays. And one final post-Gilenya check.
Squeeze in a haircut, and call it a day...
