Hello! I am your average girl, except- I love musical theatre. It is my dream to persure it professionally. And I do not want to brag, but I’m pretty good. I’m a hard worker and I’ve been working on my craft since I was seven years old. Doing theatre and the arts gives me true bliss, and I cannot imagine my life without theatre in it. I love it and it truly is my passion. Except, there is one thing. I have severe acid reflux (or heartburn) and it’s bad. I’ve had it since I can remember, and I’ve had endoscopy’s and I’ve been on meds for it ever since I was a very little kid. And in the past month or so, my reflux has spiraled out of control. I’m taking very strong meds every day, and they don’t seem to be doing anything. It’s mostly at night. I try to eat blander and smaller food, but first of all it’s hard to do, but even when I do I still have reflux. And every time I have reflux, it coats my vocal folds in acid. And in order to do musical theatre, you need your voice. And my biggest fear is that my reflux gets so bad that I’ll never be able to sing again, and I won’t be able to live my dream. And then my life would be worthless. Musical theatre is my life, and I cannot tell how much it helps me in life. And I just don’t know how to handle it, and I feel helpless and hopeless
