I was looking on the site because, at 84, I was experiencing an unusual sensation. Being, at the moment rather food averse (after a couple of weeks ‘blocked-up’ -but now not), when I find some food that I feel I can eat, all goes well for a few mouthfuls, then suddenly I start to feel a ‘rising’ sensation in my throat and then it feels blocked and will not tolerate any more of that food. NOT as if I will ‘throw-up’, just a revulsion.
I wondered if I could find a physical explanation – what actually does rise?

Me hizo gracia que esto estuviera en la red desde hace tantos años. No soy el único que se hace determinadas preguntas. Recientemente aprovechando el covid-19 estuve estudiando algunos temas relacionados con la palabra, pero me temo que no tiene nada que ver el punto de vista que planteabas en el 2012. Incluso no se si tiene algo que ver con Saint George.
