Hi !

I’m happy to hear that you are

still doing well. Did Dr.Finley end up putting you on any meds after your last

appt? I remember you saying he did find some sign of reflux during your

endoscopy (right?) J I’ve signed up as group organizer for the meetup site…but

don’t know if I’ll get one happening…if I do, you’ll

have to help me with a good central location, as you know the area WAY better

than I do. Also, there are members in that group from WA, as well a one from

NB…go figure J I’m going back to Vancouver on Feb 24th for my 5 month check up, with the

esophogeal transit again. I’m looking forward to meeting with him, and

to hear how much my E has improved. J

Talk to you soon!

one let me

know. Glad

to hear you are still doing well.......me too.

-- RE: Bay

Area Get-Together

Hello Everyone,

For the past couple of years I have been organizing a luncheon

with my fellow Achalasians from the bay /Northern CA/ West Coast/ or anyone

happening to be in the area Area! I usually plan the event for

President’s Day Weekend which is very quickly approaching us.

I’m planning to have this years luncheon in Sausalito,

CA. I am not yet sure of the venue, but wanted to give you all the heads up

to anyone and everyone who wishes to attend, I think I’ll be having it

on Sunday, February 20th this year.

If you would like to join us, please email me at holt-smith@... to better

assist me in the planning and making of reservations!

I’m sorry I have not been posting in awhile, I’ve

been very busy getting my business going which has been taking up a lot of my

time, but I do keep up with the posts on a daily basis and have been doing

fairly well with the achalasia. I do think I probably need a dilatation, but

I am going to hold off on it for the present until. I take procardia for my

blood pressure, and I didn’t realize just how much it helps with my

swallowing until I recently ran out of it. I was ooff of it for a couple of

weeks, and I started regurgitating until I got back on my meds! I definitely

do much better with the procardia…and it really does help with the

spasms too.

Warm wishes to all our new members of the group and as always,

I look forward to meeting my fellow Achalasians!

Sandi in No CA
