Esophageal Strictures

Hi everyone. I have severe GERD and have had multiple esophageal dilations over the past 2 years. My most recent EGD dilation was in March, but since then I’ve had constant throat/esophageal burning and worsening dysphagia with significant pain when swallowing.

I’m currently on a PPI twice daily, Pepcid at night, and a muscle relaxer as needed. Despite this, my esophagus keeps narrowing back down to ~9 mm after dilation and symptoms keep returning.

I’m feeling pretty stuck and would really appreciate any insight or experiences from others dealing with something similar.

Passport Help

Hi everyone, I was waiting for my new passport to arrive but wasn’t able to locate it even though tracking showed it was delivered to my mailbox. I contacted the National Passport Agency and they informed me that a DS-86 form had been issued, which is typically used to report a non-receipt and initiate a replacement. However, I never submitted that form, and I have now found the new passport.

Can you please confirm whether the passport is still valid and can be used, or if any action is needed on my end?
