necerae 0 Posted September 24, 2008 I'm lost, is this where I am suppose to put my first post? I clicked on FAQ and it said that page could not be found. Is "a new thread" the same thing as a new post? I just found at the bottom of the page the button that said "new thread" My surgery was a week ago Monday and I am having some pain issues with what someone called esophageal spasms. Any one heard of them??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted September 24, 2008 This is a new thread, and we post on it welcome to the site. It's won't take you time to figure out things. No haven't heard of them, but I was in pain for about a week and a half after my surgery now I am feeling great. It takes time. Join the September 2008 group it's in the forums list. Take care and this is the place for answers to any of your questions. Pati Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sistasassy 6 Posted September 24, 2008 I was just in the ER two weeks ago for the same spasms. They gave me a GI coctail to stop them and I got better. I was having them because I was drinking ice cold Protein shakes.....like icy milkshakes. They started the spasms which in turn over stimulated the vegus (sp) nerve which threw my heart out of sync. Was a bad day for me. :rolleyes2: The GI coctail numbed everything from my lips to my stomach and stopped the spasms. I was better within about 30 minutes after suffering for about 6 hours total.

necerae 0 Posted September 24, 2008 Okay, call me a dummy, I still cant seem to figure out how to post on the general "new posts" section. What is the difference between a post and a thread? Thank you, Dneise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted September 29, 2008 A thread is a number of posts (and replies) with a title. A post is a reply to the first post in a thread, it's continued posts/replies. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
