oesophagus spasm, dysphagia, has anyone ever had these symptoms? help!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, I've suffered before (about 4 years ago) with TMS symptoms (face pain) which I got under control to a level I was happy with using this approach, fast forward to last year and I started having pelvic symptoms which I got the all clear for after a colonoscopy and scans. Fast forward to a few months after the colonoscopy and I've started to get new symptoms; Intense oesophageal spasms and dysphagia (in the lower oesophagus, I don't really have too many issues initiating a swallow).

I'm currently waiting on results and more tests to look into the cause of my spasms, and I'm currently on a soft food diet as food gets stuck in my chest at my LOS. I've heard of different oesophageal motility issues that can cause this, as well as more severe nerve/ muscle issues like achalasia. This is a horrible waiting game where I have one foot in the 'hoping it's TMS related' group as I believe I can work through this, and one foot in the 'preparing myself for a life long physical condition' group.

I have not really seen anyone with these conditions in the TMS community, particularly problems swallowing food. I know that the spasms can be TMS, but it's the swallowing aspect which is consistent and making me believe I do have nerve and muscle damage. Sadly my original face pain from four years ago has come back, although it doesn't scare me, I know it's not permanent and it's just showing me I need to give myself some TLC. It's just a lot to deal with all at once.

Is there anyone out there who has gone through similar? Can anyone point me in the direction of any books or articles that cover this? Or even better, personal stories.

Thank you
