I'm going to emerg this morning...dang fricking fracking spasm!!!

sorry to hear that Barry.  I pray you get better.

Trust you feel better soon Garry.

(I was going to make a crack about "well is you will let them drill for oil there what do you expect" but I thought that it would be in bad taste)

All the best.

That sounds like something I dont want. I once had a Schatzki ring. It was horrible. Without warning food would just stop in the esophagus. Sometimes drinking something would clear it pretty quickly but sometimes it wouldn't and it is a horrible feeling. My dad had one fixed last month. They run a rod down into the stomach then run a inflatible down the rod using little rings, then they inflate the balone thingy and you gag the whole time they inflate it... I hope I never have to do that again, and I hope you don't.
I really hope this is an easy fix for you because I am sure it really is a PITA. I looked it and read about it, it sounds distressing and painful. Prayers offered for you and your doctor.

Good luck on finding a remedy as quickly as possible.  

Barry I hope you get better soon.

Before the 19th would be best too.

Best of luck to you Barry.
I've spent waayyy too much time in hospitals this year. I'm pretty sure I've done enough time for all of us.
Hurry back.
