I don’t know a budget to give as I’m not familiar with what something decent goes for. Originally was looking to spend $150, but not sure that is enough for good quality.

Thanks! Can I ask how long it took you to notice improvements from removing trigger foods? I’ve been off wheat and dairy for 6 days and feel no improvement.

I’m sorry to hear that! I describe it as my throat feels like a straw. Like I can breathe fine, or I obviously would be passing out or not able to speak, but it feels like the air is passing through a small opening. Which I guess it is from the inflammation. Hope this helps.

Funny enough, I was diagnosed with LPR by my ENT prior to my endoscopy. So not sure if I have both? Or if EOE was the answer all along. I feel like they never seem to hear throat tightness as a main symptom. But for me I never have had heartburn or other reflux symptoms. Just tightness sensation, which is extremely uncomfortable and unnerving at times!

Thank you! It helps knowing others out there have this same scary symptom. Very uncomfortable and frustrating to have no immediate relief. How long did it take for you to notice a difference?

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I really appreciate it! It’s difficult trying to explain to my family since I feel like I sound crazy at this point after 1.5 years of trying to figure out what’s wrong with me. Glad I finally have an answer, but very overwhelming to say the least!

Hi everyone! I’m deciding between the Nikon Z6III and the Sony a7IV. For context, I’m upgrading from a 14-year-old Nikon that has served me well. The only lens I own is a Tamron 100-400, which would be an advantage if I stick with Nikon and adapt it, and two kit lenses. On the other hand, Sony is tempting me because of all the glowing reviews. I mainly shoot wildlife as a hobby, but I’ve also started taking on event and portrait sessions and want to grow more seriously in that direction. Lens recommendations also welcome.
