I have Hashimoto disease of the thyroid, I take 5mg Lisinopril for blood pressure
I am a 3 time survivor of cancer. I have had a complete hysterectomy, appendectomy, gall bladder surgery. A fundoplication (it was wonderful} but the dysplasia in the Barretts Esphogus was so severe that a esphoectomy was a necessity and I think it was done wrong due to weight loss and all other symptoms. With the current problems I've had ex rays, blood tests, cardiac echo. chest ex rays, 2EKGs. The Doctor wanted to admit me but there were no rooms available. I seemed to have the Drs stumped as I has not heard any diagnosis and the prescription for itch medicine is all that has been done. I pray that yiou have some idea what to do. Sincerely, XXXXXXX A.
