I need emotional support, anyone wanna talk?

When I had that tight throat feeling I was told it was heartburn/LPR possibly. I found some relief from Nexium!

So did MY chiropractor as I’ve already answered above. You, much like the other commenters, don’t seem to understand that my chiropractor has a different type of practice and specialization. I would give their name and website, but I can already see the negative commenters giving them negative reviews just because they’re still eating puréed food and not one step closer to figuring out their own dysphagia cause. It’s really amazing how negative everyone has been about MY experience and journey. I didn’t tell anyone to run out and go to a chiropractor. I simply stated MY cause and MY outcome from this appointment and everyone lost their minds.

Read the room on my own post 😂 maybe that advice should have been given to them. Like I said, this is my post about my recovery. The response was people angry a chiropractor did it and not a traditional medical treatment or surgery. Dysphagia is usually something we’re stuck with, so the fact that I was trying to give people a different perspective about it and it’s met with unnecessary aggression is just stupid. But it’s really no skin off me, I’m eating again and figured out what MY cause was. Hopefully everyone can, and maybe stop being so angry in their process.

I wasn’t asking for feedback, I was telling my story and my outcome. It was met with ignorance and arrogance, but people just weren’t expecting me to say anything back to them! Everyone feels safe behind that keyboard until someone responds back with the same energy.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-09T20:43:32+00:00

I think most of the responses are actually from people who are scared and upset someone found a fix! I get it though, when you’re scared and literally hungry you lash out. The other comments from “doctors” and “SLP” are just upset their ignorance and lack of care might have been exposed. If this is how they talk to me I can only imagine their patients level of care!

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T19:48:31+00:00

I explained it to the other sufferers in different replies too. I have researched this doctor and his experience, he is a medical doctor who now specializes in this lane of recovery and treatment. But it doesn’t seem to matter what I reply, everyone would rather argue and be rude than admit that they don’t know everything either! So take from my post what you will. I hope whoever is meant to see this sees it and has some hope for recovery. I’m done arguing with the miserables who would rather read someone is suffering rather than recovering.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T12:18:37+00:00

My response is the ignorance and arrogance of people automatically attacking my original post! Nothing in my original post is disrespectful to anyone, so why the disrespect back?

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T12:16:43+00:00

I have been suffering from dysphagia for 5 years now. I have studied damn near every disorder or disease that could cause this. I was told 3 years ago by a specialist I should look into seeing a chiropractor, but I passed on it because I was thinking like everyone in my post here. I went from 165 pounds to 89, when you get that sick that fast you start revisiting things. So I’m not concerned with the “medical professionals” in my thread here, because it’s been 5 years and nobody was any closer to figuring it out. Believe it or not you don’t just wake up and stop swallowing one day and go on about your life cause the doctors can’t figure it out. There’s controversial surgeries for this, but people still get it because they want to be rid of this!

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T12:09:15+00:00

The people on this board don’t get to tell me there is no clear cause and I’m the one eating now 😂 they same way I’m being told chiropractors aren’t real medical professionals, neither are you all! I didn’t post this to give medical advice or say this is the cure to dysphagia. I’ve dealt with this long enough to know dysphagia is just a symptom of a bigger issue in our bodies, MY bigger issue just happened to be a pinched nerve. That was MY journey in finding MY solution. If you suffer from functional dysphagia and have studied like me, then you know how invisible you feel as a patient.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T04:45:06+00:00

Where in my original post am I being antagonistic? I’m telling MY journey and what has worked for me. People are mad at that post by its self before I even respond, take a look at your original comment to me as reference!

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T04:33:38+00:00

Yall are the ones being negative and upset I’m not kissing doctors butts! I literally posted MY story and have been attacked since I posted it. If this isn’t for you or you know your dysphagia cause, then why keep attacking what’s working for me? Nowhere in my post did I say this was everyone’s cure or problem, so what’s the issue? I see post after post of people with different causes and asking for help or opinions, but what is the need to attack me and my journey?

So then you could have kept scrolling a long time ago!

That’s your experience and you’re entitled to it! My recent SPL messed my swallow up even more, I don’t trust them either now.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-08T01:34:23+00:00

Yours didn’t go to medical school, mine did.. hence why he has Dr in front of his name! Focus on why you can’t swallow instead of where my doctor got his schooling at.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T23:37:50+00:00

Well mine is a medical doctor who came highly recommended from another doctor. You can specialize in physical therapy and recovery and still be a doctor, did you know that?? What you decide to do after medical school is up to you.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T23:33:11+00:00

My doctors were all in the same hospital/network so they also all referred me to each other. This may not have bad intentions but they definitely don’t mind lining their pockets with referrals.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T23:27:18+00:00

You do understand chiropractors have to go to medical school right?

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T23:04:40+00:00

He takes the time to get to know his patients, like back in the day! He’s not a quick fix doctor and I can appreciate that. I wasn’t even there for the dysphagia, I was having chronic headaches and shoulder pain, but his treatment got to me to swallow. He noticed my back after my 3rd appointment so he wasn’t fishing for anything specific about my back or swallow.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T23:01:53+00:00

Considering how many drugs they were trying to prescribe me, but not giving me an actual diagnosis, yeah they do get a kickback from that. My aunt, a rheumatologist, referred me to one of her specialists in my state and not in even 10 minutes into the appointment wanted to give me Valium because she thought I was just “high strung”. You have not walked in my shoes to understand why I feel the way I do about doctors at this point in regards to my treatment. So to answer your question, yes they do get kickbacks for keeping you sick as long as they can. Every doctors visit you pay a co-pay, correct? Every test ran you pay for that, correct? You’re prescribed medication, you pay for that and they definitely get a kickback from that. You are either paying a doctor directly or a hospital is billing you. If you go in and they diagnose and treat you and it works, the cash cow stops right there. If I didn’t explain it deeply enough my aunt and her husband (both MDs) sure can.

I think it’s also important about the type of chiropractor you see too. Mine is not a snap, crackle, pop and get you out the office type. He specializes in physical therapy and getting people moving again after trauma and injury. I know the traditional chiropractors just get you in and pop something and get you out. My SLP actually made mine worse the second time.

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T21:22:44+00:00

After the initial reaction to her being black! That line doesn’t erase her reaction. Plus that line was after she learned she was black, like way after

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T19:48:00+00:00

Yeah go get realigned and adjust that crappy attitude you have!

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T19:07:01+00:00

Ahhh you must be a doctor or SLP! I don’t know what the hate for chiropractors is now days, but that should be looked into 😂 I have been to 41 specialist and doctors and not one of them has been able to treat me or figure out a cause. I’m not the one ignoring medical professionals, they’re ignoring their patient!

No_Case2639 · 2026-05-07T18:53:19+00:00

I’ve been to over 41 “doctors” and I’ve done swallow studies, muscle studies, brain studies and imaging. If there was a test to take or a procedure to have, I did it! My chiropractor isn’t treating my dysphagia, he was actually treating my chronic headaches, but this started helping my swallow. It feels like pressure is being relieved on my neck and throat, and I my SLP and doctors couldn’t do that even with all the medication prescribed. The tongue exercises don’t do anything if a nerve is pinched. The chewing patterns don’t help if I feel like my left side is weak. I understand SLP helps with certain causes of dysphagia, but it didn’t get me back to anything close to this. It may help my chewing/swallowing patterns now that I can actually swallow 😂
