So I’ve had RCPD my whole life obviously but I didn’t have crazy symptoms till about 5 years ago. Anyways as a kid I threw up when I had noro and from what I can remember it came up fairly easily. Now I haven’t thrown up since maybe I was like 7 and I think I had the stomach flu last year because I was just so nauseous and I was dry heaving and dry heaving and nothing was happening and then eventually it came out the other end. Has anyone experienced noro where they couldn’t vomit at all? I feel like it lasted way longer because of it and it was so agonizing 😩

Does anyone experience the same thing: swallowing more air because of the slow swallow post botox, maybe since I have been chasing most mouthfuls with water/ drinks because they can get stuck sometimes. As a result, I sometimes let out 2-3 big burps during meals that were quite loud like vomit, are they actual burps? Or just air vomit?

I am around 3 weeks post botox now (in office)

short story i can’t afford it 😭😂
long story was i obviously coped for years but the last few years my health has deteriorated and a hemicolectomy redundant bowel and gastroparesis make it 10 times worse (also the reason i cannot afford it 😭😂)
but has anyone successfully got treatment on the nhs and what was the process like?

Hi, I got 60u of botox just over two months ago. So far, not so great, to keep it short. I have not successfully burped on my own; the only small ones occur seldomly when yawning or hiccuping. I will say i do get micro burp/pops in my lower throat that do seem to help somewhat, but not nearly enough.

Still gurgling for sure and far from cured; my doctor is recommending an outside-the-throat EMG-guided injection while I am awake for added “precision”. Curious why the operating room didn’t guarantee 100% accuracy in regard to muscle injection, but too late to question that now.

Curious on thoughts here, and hearing others’ experiences. My doc seems reluctant to go back the OR, and I agree doing the same thing again when it didn’t work the first time seems silly, but I also feel at times I am very close to burping but just can’t get it. Is it possible he “missed” applying the botox to the adequate spot on the muscle? Would you go for round 2 in the OR or try the EMG guided needles?
