I have had a bad time of it lately, starting with a sore throat, lethargy and dizziness a few months back.
The doctors didn't take it seriously initially, basically saying I'm an anxious person with a sore throat, but one commented it could be glandular fever, blood work including a mono spot test showed no glandular fever and no other problems in my blood work. Turns out, from them looking at me properly, and looking back at a scope I had done 2 years ago, that it will be a more severe reoccurrence of silent reflux. I have tried Omeprazole so far, and had a reaction to it, (it did the same to me 2 years ago).
It quite frankly is hell. I have no appetite, dropped 3 stone in the last 3 months, don't have the energy to do anything making my agoraphobia pretty crippling, (I haven't been anywhere in the last 2 months) I get tired and dizzy to a point where my eyes sting. I have to force food down me, as it hurts and painfully grinds past my adams area, although I think this could partly be me getting anxious when trying to eat, I'm going dizzy and disoriented so I won't even hold my little nephew anymore incase I collapse, I am constantly thinking and worrying about my throat to the point where I can't concentrate on anything else, including my work.
It's literally destroying me, if anyone has similar, or has any advice, it would be great to hear from you.
Cheers, Phil.
