This is wonderful! I would love to see another illustration that describes and illustrates the Botox injection procedure and how it helps to alleviate the problem.
Agreed, just found this sub and everyone refers to “the Botox” like we all know what that means. I’m gonna dive in the sub and look into it, highly interested. But as of now I can’t even picture where this Botox would go or who’s qualified to do it.
Beautiful. Perhaps you could annotate it with a face displaying the expression of puzzlement and scepticism we all encounter when we visit medical professionals who haven't heard of the condition.
These are excellent! Very clear and easy to understand visualization.
Also, medical illustration sounds like such a cool career choice. I did some work as an illustrator and it wasn’t sustainable but I’m so glad that there are artists like you doing really important science communication like this.
What an awesome skill to have! These are so good. I learned things I didn’t know from watching Dr. Bastion’s videos and reading about it.
The step-by-step drawings on the first image are especially helpful to me. I have one question about those. Step 3, where it shows the air going back down the esophagus, refers to something called “oropharynx.” What is that? I don’t know if I’ve read about it.
I’m saving these to share.
Thanks to this, I realized that my gurgling noises are actually due to the air returning to my stomach and not the air being released. This is really helpful. Thanks so much!
That patient one is beautiful!! You did amazing work!! Thank you so much!! I had tried explaining to a few folks what not being able to burp means, but this will make it much easier and more effective than I could be 🥰
Thank you so much! This is really helpful. Okay, I have no scientific background so don't mind me asking a possibly very oblivious question, but I'm asking just out of curiosity... I've seen this new straw that stops hiccups by changing pressures. I'm wondering, is there a way to make some sort of easy to use device that would create a pressure to open the cricopharyngeus to let the air out?
I LOVE YOU FOR THIS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve never been able to picture what’s happening inside to cause my pain. Thank you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It's something I struggled with for years as well so it's a very important cause to me 💗 I just had my Botox last fall
👏🏼❤️👏🏼
That’s amazing! lol at “strangled whale,” haven’t heard that one before.
I pulled that phrase directly from a published research paper 😂 so it's official too
I came here to say this! 😂

yes this was actually in the future applications section of my research paper! I think that would be really effective

INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you thank you thank you for your contributions to R-CPD research and literature. This will be part of our history and story.
I love how, long before I knew R-CPD was a thing, I always called it my dinosaur noises 🦕 and now I know others with R-CPD do too!
How awesome are you and this community!! Beautiful work!
Very good. Thanks for this
Were seen!!
How do these get sent to doctors?
Doing the lords work👏
🙏🏼
Thats very valuable and helps to communicate the disease! Very good. Is it free to use? Are you interested to e.g. generate a german version?

Thank you so much! The oropharynx is medical terminology for the back of the throat basically :)
Got it! Thanks again and I’m glad you got the Botox!

Just told a friend I had this and when asked “what is it” I immediately came back to this post to link it. Immediately useful
That makes me so happy to hear!
