Guest guest Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 I am amazed ( & happy) that there is an achalasia group!!! I had a surgery in 1977 at 21 years of age and I am just AMAZED of the evolution of this disease and surgeries! When I was finally diagnosed at 20 yrs of age my doctors told me that this was something usually seen in older people. I grew up being told because I was always throwing up not to eat the things my brother & sisters were eating but I used to sneak and eat those things behind my parents' backs anyway !!!! I'm now 47 and still experience difficulty but....I was diagnosed with MS about 8 yrs ago and with that comes bladder problems. My urologist gave me some kind of pill that brought back the swallowing difficulty and I couldn't eat for almost a month!!!! I lived on Ensure! But thank God I figured out what was causing the difficulty---'cause I missed my burgers! (Which I feel red meat is bad for us but I indulge anyway!!) Gonna stop writing now but I am excited that I have found this group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
