Hello, I know that yes you are all correct in the second opionan

(spelling). how on earth am I going to aford a trip to the west

coast. Take out a loan I suppose. I am like you I do not

want to be the last to have a esophagectomy but at the same time I

am tired of this I have been on the hard end of this disease always

in pain always worn out not able to take care of my kids the way I

want to or they deserve constant deppresion I cant handle most of

the meds they try to put me on it just makes it worse. Dr.Glascow

does not think I have acid he thinks it is the food rotting in

my " E " then dumping into my stomach. If this is true no wonder I

never feel good. But I will take this slow and pray alot. Having a

better way of life dangeled in front of me is so tempting to live

normally again I would do anything for that chance. My husband

thought I was mean because I started drilling the Dr. about who he

trained with and were he learned his stuff from. But I told I

am not rich or famous the world in the whole would not miss me if I

die but I have 4 people that depend on me to stay alive and I need

to know that I am in good hands not with someone that just wants to

open me up to see what my Achalasia looks like.

For thoes that are facing this if money and time were of no worry

and you were guarrenteed that you would have a better life what

would you do?

I have known for awhile that yes I would evuentally face this I have

been preparing my family for this I just did not think it would be

this soon. But if I can come out of this ok then why not jump take

the leap and go for it I am only going to get worse with time. The

longer I wait the more dangerous it is one day will go in for a

dialation and my " E " will tear. Then what?

Thank you all for your support I wish you all the best

Lot's of love Tamara
