Kandy, I have to have my esophagus dilated every year or so. My pulmonologist said it's common with RA and Sjogrens especially Sjogrens.
I get to where even water if drank to fast has a hard time going down.

I do. It gives me the symptoms of a urinary tract infection when there is no infection. Haven't slept properly for 24 years .. but no digestive problems in my case.
