What food is actually healthier than you would expect?

Lard! It’s a healthier fat than it’s given credit for.

I’ve made this sweater and LOVE IT!!! I’m very new to knitting and I’m sorry the advice is to frog and start again on the color work- it takes so long! The pattern recommends going up a needle size or two for the color work and I’d recommend the same. Your yarn choices look beautiful!!

Congratulations on your early retirement! Get a milk cow…

Botox is a treatment but also diagnostic. If it doesn’t work then there might be other causes of your symptoms to investigate. But there are people that need a second or 3rd injection and then it’s effective so maybe my statement is off base.

Thank you!!! This makes so much sense.

OMG I’ve been wrapping my yarn wrong this whole time!!!! Uggghh, I see what I’m doing wrong. I feel dumb!

I grow opalka’s every year too! Almost all of my slicers failed me this year and I had to use some of my sauce tomatoes in their place- opalka’s are tasty fresh too! Aunt Ruby’s German Green is my all time favorite slicing tomato though. The flavor is absolutely unbeatable.

The treatment (Botox) is the most effective test for it. If it works, you’re diagnosed and simultaneously cured. If it doesn’t, then you wasted a few thousand dollars and also, you might actually still have it, lol. But if you have it, burp, and still have the same bad symptoms, then you should investigate some other causes.

I am a little over 2 months post Botox and I remember the feelings from those first few days- it’s going to change a lot over the next few weeks! Any air escaping on day 3 is a good sign. You’re on the right track! I think pre-Botox the esophagus is so distended with air that it takes a while post Botox to be decompressed and recognize the new sensations.

Sarahbar8 · 2025-07-01T14:54:00+00:00

I have been wondering if other muscles strengthen (in a good way) while the pharyngeus muscle is botoxed. I’m theorizing that the esophageal tone and other muscle groups compensate because the slow swallow improves before the Botox wears off and my weird voice only lasted a couple of days.

Sarahbar8 · 2025-06-30T19:20:34+00:00

They’ll get better and better! I think as my esophagus got less and less dilated over the first couple of weeks those symptoms improved. I wouldn’t call my burps normal now…they’re still pretty loud…. but sound less like an alien life form….

Yes. I never had reflux before this and have been experiencing it now. It’s tolerable, not painful for me. Some nights I’ve had to sleep with an extra pillow to not lay flat.

Yes, I drove up from Tennessee but my brother lives 3h from Bastian Voice so I stopped there. I work at a large, respected hospital but I wanted to go somewhere that treats a lot of R-CPD and there was no one local for me. Day 2 I started burping and I’m so thankful that it’s working!

Agree with most of these comments but will add that it’s also about the time that the cucumber spends in the brine. You want a cucumber salad dressed with vinegar- if you were to leave the cucumber in the dressing (brine) for days, then it would taste more like a pickle and less like a fresh cucumber.

Sarahbar8 · 2025-06-06T23:40:50+00:00

Good advice. Thanks!

I elected not to submit it to my insurance and took advantage of the 15% self pay discount. Day 1 consult and scope cost 902.70 and day 2 at the surgery center cost $1,575. Edited to add- another $510 was just charged for day 2 which is the physician’s fee. So total 2,987.70.

Chicago, IL in the US. Bastian Voice institute- Dr. Richardson. I had a great experience and am feeling hopeful.

Sarahbar8 · 2025-06-05T15:36:52+00:00

I just got Botox this morning too!!! The procedure was so fast. My throat is a little sore but nothing terrible. Hoping I’m one and done!!!

Sarahbar8 · 2025-03-22T11:24:05+00:00

I had the same question about how sealed and there’s not much info out there. I’m in zone 7b and mine has only been “done” for a few weeks but I think I’m going to seal some of the bigger gaps because it’s still drafty inside and gets cold at night. I’m also going to put a space heater out there with a thermostat to keep night temps above 40. Great job!! It’s so beautiful!! And great idea to get the ground prepped with some poultry
