@AshleyGWinter Dear Ashley, your tweets are informative along with large doses of humor and fun. Many of your comments reveal your personality and humanity. You should have your own television talk show.

@AmyOxentenkoMD Great axioms. My more earthy way to handle this is to: “Power my way through what ever needs to be done.” Geoff

@marklewismd Wow! What a fantastic story that blends scientific rigor with compassionate care and an extremely enlightened wife and family. I am truly amazed at reading this.

@mcsassymd This is the real challenge of practice. One thinks that now that fellowship is over-Pheww! Things will be easier. No, things get harder because you are working harder and still need to keep up with advances in medicine. Your fellowship training be good for about 5 years.

@mcsassymd Stand your ground. This is the most important day of your life (for both you and your fiancé) and everything should be perfect.

@CatrionaRennis1 When I started my internship 41 years ago at the University of Chicago at age 25, I had the same problem. I looked like Doogie Howser. Being a guy, I solved the problem by growing a beard which I kept for the next 18 years.

break and dinner. Double dose PPI for 6 months and then drop down to one per day. Repeat dilatation at 12-14 weeks using the TTS balloons to an 18 mm diameter. Repeat gastroscopy at 9mos to see if still in remission. If not add 1mg of budesonide suspension once a day to the PPI.

@DrTiffTaft I have had great success using the following regimen to treat EOE. As you know, this is a relapsing disease. Virtually all patients with EOE also have GERD that contributes to the fibrosis at the GE junction. 12 weeks of Budesonide suspension-2mg bid 1/2 hour after
