I think this is the same kind of thing I'm going to have to get done at some point, depending on what the Gastroenterology guy says when I see him. Bad news is that due to NHS waiting lists my appointment isn't until September
When I was in Newquay earlier this month I choked on a steak at the Wetherspoons, then went off to hospital for the most awesome operation of my life.
They sprayed me with a "throat spray" to numb my throat but I could still feel the tubes sliding down my gullet and eventually, after a lot of pushing and shoving, into my stomach. It took longer than an hour and I pretty much spent that entire time alternating between retching and burpingBut it was okay, a lovely machine sucked up all that excess saliva and at one point (the final push) there were four doctors holding me down

Do you also have eosinophilic oesophagitis?
Trouble swallowing? Hiccup when you eat?

No, I could have Celiacs. The big test involves an Intestinal Biopsy, which they do by the whole 'stuffing a tube down the throat' thing

Ah yeah, uncomfortable, but that part only takes two seconds. The pain was in dislodging the blockage, you should be fine
Until you die of celiacs, anyway

i should've asked this before but i always feel embarrassed about asking questions because i'm shy. 
When i put Palmer's on my scar, how long am i supposed to leave it on for? i mean, do i leave it on for an hour or two hours or what?

i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.

Wow, a proper old head
Rayanne Graff:
Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.
satansrubberduck:
I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.
Rayanne Graff:
No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.
satansrubberduck:
Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.
satansrubberduck:
Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.
Claire:
It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...
