Jamie

36 years old

Office administrator & bookworm living with EoE for the past 12 years

After wrestling with various EoE symptoms over the past 12 years, including difficulty swallowing food and heart burn, Jamie received a formal EoE diagnosis after a piece of chicken got lodged in her throat and obstructed her breathing. Jamie was rushed to hospital, where an endoscopy with biopsies taken revealed she was living with EoE. Although she has since learned how to better manage her disease, she still experiences anxiety around the uncertainty of what triggers her EoE and the resulting social isolation from the disease.
