Thanks for you research on this. The injections were an attempt to help the burning. This started well before that. So, the injection theory, at least in my case doesn’t fit.

The burning started around same time I started taking Amitriptyline. Works on Serotonin and norepinephrine. Also when I took Lexapro and some other SSRI's that’s around same time burning moved to my back and left chest. Also my burning was worse when I then went on Effexor and then Cymbalta. few months after that.Wonder if that has any link to COM++ .

COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase) – helps to methylate dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Essentially slows down or regulates production of these neurochemicals.

But I am not on any SSRI, TCA, or SSRI for 3 months. Also 5 months after burning started I did have a Botox injection in my UES. Not sure if the Botox in conjunction with what was going on in my body (reaction to TCA + PPI + not absorbing B12/B9) could of be a perfect storm of things going on in my body?


Just a theory.
