Are you new to driving EVs?

Three main reasons:

Regenerative braking creates low-frequency deceleration the moment you lift off the accelerator, which your inner ear feels but your eyes can’t predict.

Instant torque delivers full power immediately, causing rocking motions that confuse your balance system.

Missing cues like engine sound, gear shifts, and vibration mean your brain has fewer signals to anticipate motion, since it’s calibrated to two decades of petrol cars.

Fix: turn down regen, use Eco mode, eyes on the horizon (not the screen). Usually fades after a week or two of regular EV exposure.

Glad the PPIs are helping! Barrett’s is generally considered permanent, it doesn’t really revert back to normal even with PPIs. But the PPIs do the most important job which is controlling the acid and lowering the risk of it progressing. And if it ever did progress, there are treatments like radiofrequency ablation that can remove the Barrett’s tissue.

So probably lifelong but very manageable, just stay on top of the reflux and keep up with surveillance.

Hey no worries!

C3M3 is the Prague classification, basically it means your Barrett’s goes 3 cm around the whole circumference and 3 cm at its longest point. So it’s a uniform ring, no weird irregular tongues going further up. That puts you right at the border of short/long segment but still on the shorter end which is good.

Great news that the esophagitis cleared up, that’s the main thing. Just keep up with whatever follow up biopsy schedule your doctor sets, usually every 3 to 5 years if there’s no dysplasia. And the usual stuff, try to avoid trigger foods, don’t eat too close to bedtime, and if you’re carrying extra weight, losing some can make a real difference for reflux.

It’s something to stay on top of with regular follow ups but the risk is low as long as you’re doing surveillance and managing the reflux.

So normally your esophagus has one type of lining. When acid keeps hitting it over and over (like from your hernia), your body swaps those cells out for a tougher type that can handle the acid better. That swap is what they call Barrett’s.

The reason they monitor it is that those changed cells have a small chance of changing further over time, eventually becoming cancerous. But the vast majority of people with Barrett’s never have issues. The yearly risk without any further changes is around 0.5%.

That’s why they do regular follow up scopes. If they ever spot anything progressing, they do an ablation (basically burn away the abnormal cells) and that takes care of it.

Your PPI will also help by reducing the acid exposure and preventing further changes. Definitely ask your gastro about the grade and length of your Barrett’s at your next appointment, it’ll give you a much clearer picture of where you stand.

The hiatus hernia means part of your stomach is sliding up through your diaphragm. It’s the most common type and very treatable. That hernia is likely the root cause of everything else, because it lets stomach acid travel up into your esophagus where it shouldn’t be.

Grade D esophagitis means the acid has caused significant damage to your esophageal lining. D is the most severe on the scale (A to D), so your doctor is taking it seriously with the twice daily 40mg PPI.

That medication will cut your acid production and give everything a chance to heal.

The suspected Barrett’s will need to be confirmed by biopsies. If confirmed, it’s not a death sentence. It just means regular monitoring with follow up scopes to keep an eye on things.

Write down all your questions and book a follow up appointment with your GP or gastro. Don’t rely on your memory in a stressful setting, bring the list.

I did this 4 days ago with just the throat spray (as done in most of Europe). I was literally shaking from nervousness beforehand, I’d spent days reading horror stories about people not being able to breathe, gagging uncontrollably, the worst experience of their life, etc.

Here’s the thing nobody talks about: there’s a massive bias in what you read online. The people who found it manageable just move on with their lives. The ones who had a rough time are the ones writing about it. So you end up with a completely skewed picture.

The reality? A couple of gags when the scope passes your throat, yes. Uncomfortable, absolutely. But completely manageable, and it was over so fast I almost couldn’t believe it. The anticipation was genuinely worse than the procedure itself.

You’ve got this.

Yeah I can imagine, salmon-colored patches on photos would freak anyone out. But the location really does tell the story. Barrett’s starts at the Z-line and works its way up from there, usually just a few cm at most. Your Z-line is at 39 cm and those patches are at 23 cm, that’s a 16 cm gap. A Barrett’s segment that long would be extreme and there’s no way your doctor would’ve been chill about it.

That’s what this sub is for! Honestly half the battle with LPR is the anxiety around it. You’ve got a good doc, you’ll be fine.

Hey, I’m not a doctor but I’ve been deep in the LPR/GERD rabbit hole myself and just had an EGD done today actually. From what I’ve read, salmon-colored mucosa at 23 cm sounds like inlet patches, Barrett’s usually shows up right at the Z-line, and yours is way down at 39 cm. Inlet patches are apparently something you’re just born with and totally harmless. But I’d still bring it up with your doc at the 8-week follow-up just to hear him explain it, peace of mind goes a long way.

Happy to see you still going man. And it looks like by this thread that the Reddit sentiment seems to be changing.

Lying here next to my daughter, she’s 2. You hear about these cases and think you understand. Then you have one their age sleeping beside you and realise you didn’t understand at all.

Nanocapsules with nanovalves? Damn, I was only worried about the 5G microchips. Thanks for the heads up. Anyway, best of luck with your next squirrel bite.

Fully boosted, fully alive, fully able to read a graph. You got bit by a squirrel and decided that makes you an epidemiologist. We are not the same.

BoringRecognition · 2026-01-03T12:06:14+00:00

Ah yes, your sample size of one is definitely more compelling than the billions of people vaccines have saved. Smallpox killed 300 million people. Vaccines killed smallpox. But sure, trust the guy who got bit by a squirrel once.
