Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Posted January 16, 2006 Hello everyone.My name is and I was diagnosed with Achalasia last October.Since then I've had 1 dilatation and have a follow up consultation at end of this month.I havn't met anyone here in England with this condition so thought I'd try this very helpful group and from all the messages I've read I don't feel so alone in my suffering.Anyway at the moment I have all the chronic symptoms - chesty cough [worse at night] fluid filling my chest & sometimes coming back through my nose, food & now even drink regurgitation and dramatic weight loss 46lbs in 3 mnths [although this last one pleases my husband very much]. Would love to hear from any of you having balloon dilatation treament . I found my 1st one ineffective although as it was so near Xmas I think he was being gentle with me.He said the next one would be more forceful & hopefully widen up the bottom of the tube. Well folks I'll keep in touch from Essex Quote
