As a nurse, I want to thank you for these videos. I am able to follow/understand the information you are presenting. You are wonderful at keeping the viewer/reader’s interest in your presentation. I came across your video by accident. I have a son (23) who has a history of mixed connective tissue disease who developed dysphagia and globus symptoms as well as nausea., difficulty taking in adequate calories (he is naturally thin). Modified barium swallow showed esophageal dysmotility. Recent EGD (his first) showed mucosal changes and ringers throughout the entire esophagus. Gastroenterologist suspects EoS. We are waiting on pathology input. I hope the pathologist is as thorough as you are approaches the puzzle from a “think outsde the box a little bit” perspective as well:
I got this condition after accidentally inhaling too many welding fumes containing hexavalent chromium which is a compound 1000 times more carcinogenic than cigarette smoke. Hexavalent chromium reduces into chromium 3 after doing cell damage, it is also a genotoxin. Im not sure if my esophahitis was caused by the cell damage from chromium VI reducing itself to chromium 3, or if it was caused afterwards from an overload of chromium 3 in my cells. I hear the half life of chromium in the body is 4 years. Hoping that my condition improves every 4 years if the chromium leaves the body. Wondering if you have any insight on my condition?
muchas gracias por la presentacion
What a wonderful analysis. As internal medicine guy It's fascinating to listen your insight and reasoning.
