Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Everyone My dad is suffering from achalasia, I came across this site and he has asked me to see if there are any advances with helping his condition. He has sufferred with it for a few years now, he is very worried about having anything done as he keeps hearing things to put him off, and thinks that nothing will really cure him. He is on the tablets but they do not really do much for him. He is now sick all the time, he cannot sleep in the horizontal position and has about 12 pillows allowing him to sleep in a more upright position. Although he finds it difficult to eat and sicks it up frequently he persists and has not yet lost any weight. We are constantly trying to get him to have something done, but he is very worried about the lack of experience the medical profession seem to have with achlasia, and has also heard some horror stories about people who have had some treatment. Any advice for him, or any similar stories you could share with me so I can 'print them out to show him' (he has never even switched on a computer) would be very helpful. Thanks very much Nelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
