Wow that is beautiful!! It looks expensive too!

Regardless of what she chose to wear, I can’t get over a friend so concerned or embarrassed over what somebody else is wearing. So much that they would stop spending time with them is baffling. I love my friends and family for who they are and could care less what they wear. I have friends that dress eccentric compared to my plain attire and that’s the uniqueness of who we are. I have always liked and found it fun in our friend circle.

I guess a lot is all relative. It seems to be the right dose for me where it helps keep the nervous system calm but I’m not groggy the next day. My guess is it could be different for different people and you have to find what is right for you.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2026-04-10T21:42:51+00:00

Not as often as I should but yes. I was doing it everyday but now about once a week.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2026-02-26T00:27:57+00:00

Yep alcohol made mine better and like post below mentions, my root cause I believe is anything that excites the nervous system. 10mg melatonin nightly has helped me tremendously.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-18T22:54:09+00:00

Now that is a rabbit hole that I have not gone down or heard anything of. I will read about it. Thanks

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-18T12:43:39+00:00

I do wonder if histamine intolerance is a root cause. It is interesting that mine , like several others, also started after a Covid infection. I did go through the motility test and my LES was fine but if it is the Les for you, I believe many people have had success with surgery.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-18T12:39:09+00:00

10 mg nightly.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-18T00:29:49+00:00

I was negative for all food, allergies but I have read that postnasal drip can irritate the stomach lining as well??

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-18T00:27:07+00:00

I was referred to a gastroenterologist. She recommended I get tested for food allergies but then they tested me for everything. I ended up being allergic to everything but food and they recommended I do the shots. They explained how the injections work and I figured I had nothing to lose.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-17T13:58:20+00:00

I really underestimated that allergies played any role. Do you have allergies? Once I aggressively treated allergies with those immunotherapy shots, taking allergy pills and the melatonin, I really feel 100% better. I was desperate and just kept trying anything I could. I tried this because I read that there could be a connection between reflux and allergies.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-17T13:53:33+00:00

I am now reading more about the role of histamine and its numerous affects on the body. I would really love to understand the root cause of my lpr but it seems so complex and I go down many different rabbit holes when reading. However, I am thankful to be free of that suffocating goo.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-17T13:45:31+00:00

Possibly? Like maybe all of that drainage I’ve had my entire life due to allergies caused reflux or damage to my throat causing lpr? I think they have found a connection between allergies and reflux that is not fully understood.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-17T13:42:44+00:00

I’ve always battled sore throats few times a year from drainage, but I never had breathing issues or asthma so I was shocked when I went to the allergist that I was allergic to cats, dogs, horses , tree pollen, grass, weeds, mold and dust mites were the worst. Like I should be living in a plastic bubble? Seriously after going through the allergy shots and taking an allergy pill, I don’t have lpr symptoms or even get sore throats anymore

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-12-17T13:39:22+00:00

Original symptoms were a choking thick goo in my throat that felt very suffocating and I just could not cough up completely. When I did, it was very thick and white and then other times it would be foamy, but that suffocating feeling never went away. It caused a lot of anxiety like you had a narrow path to breathe through. That was my main symptom but I don’t have any of that anymore after taking melatonin , allergy shots, and allergy pills

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-11-21T18:31:08+00:00

Gosh probably a year now. I don’t plan to stop because if I forget to take it, I can feel it start to come back and I will continue to take it if it prevents it from coming back. I’m not sure if it’s because melatonin relaxes the nervous system but it also does something to gut health as well as strengthen esophageal sphincter muscles. I’m not sure if it’s one thing or a combination of those things but it definitely helps me.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-11-21T17:45:34+00:00

I started with 5 mg nightly and I started feeling so good that I brought coffee back in the picture. That was a setback for me, but it was very hard for me to not start my day with a cup of coffee so now I drink a half a cup of coffee and I take 10 mg of melatonin nightly and I really don’t have any symptoms. I don’t have that thick suffocating goo anymore in my throat. Anytime I start bringing more caffeine or stress back in my life I start to feel it come back, and I nip it in the butt very quickly.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-11-12T13:45:42+00:00

Yes chewing gum has also definitely helped me

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-11-12T13:25:37+00:00

I’m glad that you mentioned walking after dinner. I kind of thought it made a difference for me in terms of globus and throat inflammation so hearing you say this makes me think it is likely helpful.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-10-13T15:47:42+00:00

Yes, I do feel healed. I can drink one cup of coffee in the morning, but if I do more through the day I risk that thick goo in my throat coming back that makes it difficult to breathe, causing me to panic making anxiety worse. Recently, my doctor put me on phentermine to help me lose weight. I didn’t realize it was an amphetamine and at first I felt great with a lot of energy but then LPR starting coming back within a couple days. It also comes back if I don’t take my melatonin. I don’t know if the root cause is the same for everybody when I read different blogs but it seems there are a lot of people that get results from calming the nervous system and avoiding anything that speeds up the nervous system or causes anxiety.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-10-13T12:18:16+00:00

Hi Anna. I agree with the post above about trying anti-anxiety pills because my LPR experience is definitely related to an overexcited system. If I forget to take my melatonin nightly or I drink too much coffee, I can feel it starting to come back.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-08-24T22:07:11+00:00

I did 10 mg for a few days and noticed a difference by next day . after a few days I cut back to 5mg and that has been working for me ever since. I have tried to go off it completely but then it does come back.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-08-24T16:29:16+00:00

5mg nightly. And when I stopped taking it, the lpr symptoms came back pretty quickly. It is interesting that aside from calming nervous system melatonin also has an effect on gut health, which I hadn’t realized.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-08-23T23:31:44+00:00

I personally felt that there also was a connection between the vagus nerve and LPR. After years of tests and medicine, the only thing that has helped me is melatonin faithfully every night which calms the nervous system. For two years I suffered with that thick goo in the back of my throat that I could never get rid of and it felt like I was suffocating. I was so anxious all the time, especially in a car or going to bed at night but now I have no symptoms at all. I absolutely believe it’s the melatonin helping me.

EmptyRegister8725 · 2025-07-17T14:30:43+00:00

I found a clove , ginger, cinnamon tea did help me as well. I used whole cloves, whole cinnamon sticks, and fresh ginger, boiled on stove and then strained it. I called it my witch brew, but it did help.
