terrible. Remember I have been using stuff that was for scabies. I had pretty

big specks that were alive and moving and biting. Now they are so small you have

to look at them through a magnifying glass. Have you guys had this happen. Is

there anything I can do to help change my enviroment and me. Lynn is going to

put me on the 3 point program. She and I ordered all that I will need for the

first month. Are there any of you on this? I am sorry I am full of questions but

I feel you guys know where I am coming from. I thank you for helping me.

Lynn. Panic attacks are the worst!! It makes you feel like you are going to die! Glad I've not had one in several months!Sent from my iPhoneOn May 31, 2010, at 4:25 PM, "Lynn" <torpedolynn@...> wrote:

> It does sound like where I was with the panic attacks. It makes me feel a little better to know that im not the only one that was going through them. They are absolutely the worst. I haven't had one for a long time but still fear that something I take may bring one on. I had to have a spinal block for a ruptured disk on Friday, and I asked the doctor to only put a small amount of the strroidin the block b/c I didn't know if it might cause anxiety. I could not take the sulphur orally.

> Your message realy brings this back to me. But just know that less than a year later I am way past where you once were and you will get past this too!! I remember when I first got my anu water I was at home alone and so afraid to drink it so I called a friend and made him stay on the phone as I took tiny sips just in case it caused an attack but it didn't. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are progressing. Have you found a good doctor? One that doesn't think youare delusional? I hope so. Take care and god bless!

and no one here believes me. Thank you

Rush, have you tried valerian root for anxiety? I was reminded by a doctor this morning that Valium came originally from Valerian root and it is non addictive. I've used it for sleep off and on for years, but in general it does help anxiety. I used to suffer from panic attacks, but haven't had one for many years. Re: Discouraged

RushI am there with you. I have had panic attacks all my life. Finally through herbs I have them under very good control. Very rarely have one.In Light Lynn>> Lynn. Panic attacks are the worst!! It makes you feel like you are going to die! Glad I've not had one in several months!

You know, I have been drinking quite a bit of lemongrass tea, not only is it sedative like, but it quite a powerful diuretic helping me to detox the urinary route as well. I know it has sedative qualities, but I haven't experienced a "sedation" , but I can be very high energy sometimes. Its a more calming, or a well being type of feeling it gives me. It tastes wonderful without any sweetner of any kind. And it smells great!! We use it as an antifungal astringent in our household. And let me go on about the antifungal properties. Good stuff, and I got the idea from reading the ingredients on the back of the Garden of Life Fingal Defense we have been taking.

Maybe you could give this a try to help with your panic attacks. Its not expensive, and I have a coffee pot, in which we brew tea through filters, so the powdered form isn't a problem. I bought mine at Rose Mountain Herbs, I should of bought a bigger size, I had no idea I would have gone through so much in so little time.

Thanks linda. I haven't had one for a while now. I thinkToo much caffeine is a player in my attacks. If I get them again that is where I will go. Thx!Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 3, 2010, at 3:36 PM, Goldstein@... wrote:

I'm now 10 days out from my HM and mushy food doesn't go down.  The liquid diet

was fine, but mashed potatoes get stuck even if I drink lots of water.  Lots of

foam comes up, which I think is a result of the food being stuck at the LES.  I

was swallowing better before the surgery.  Its a bummer.  Maybe I'm expecting

too much too soon.  Any thoughts?

Hi

I have posted this several times. Found a medical article that FAT opens the LES

amd ALSO relaxes it.

I now use real BUTTER on my potatoes, toasted English muffins cut in two etc.

Even had butter on chinese noodles tonight, also on rice that is cooked well.

The butter makes it slip through the LES. I Use a LOT of butter!. Had my LDL

recently checked (85)and it did not move from 6 months ago(77), The LDL is the

important one. If it is below 130 that is normal.

Of course I have a cold Coke , hot coffee or water to help get it down or

sometimes an Ensure Plus. I feel so much better since I started on the butter

routine. Ice cream works great for me with a chocolate cookie, Peak Freens

double chocolate.

Lately I get a 12 oz bottle of water, put my head back and drink the water

trying to learn how to swallow again, I believe it helps!

Of course I have not had an operation, my Achalasia started over 5 years ago, no

dumping, very little regurgitating, NO PPI's, great bowel movements. I have each

lunch Bushes Grilling brown beans mixed with beef broth, I take out the onions

etc. No foam but have had it, believe it started with a glass of wine. Wine

should help, but when I have it I stand up and walk around with a potato chip.

It is not perfect but I can live with it.I may be getting small pockets in the

E, but I try to clean it out before I go to bed.

Now at near 80 my back is sore, may have to get cortizone shots, but I do walk

every day. In fact my sore back is worse than the Achalasia. Terribe getting

old!

Rayme's BUTTER experience also worked for me  i did get significant benefits.

This healing relation supported by a study. According to that study butyric

acid ' found a lot  in real butter' has an ability to significant 5.6-fold

increase in the proportion of c-Fos-immunoreactive neurons compared to control

for intestinal mucosal neuron cells. Butyric acid induced the activation of a

population of human submucosal neurons with a specific neurochemical coding.

 

quoted from,

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16828227

 

interestingly more soury butter has more butyric acid  and that is more

beneficial for  all intestinal tract.

Hi

Do you have an outpatient appointment soon? I hope so as you need to talk with a

member of the team that is looking after you pronto! Phone the doctors office

and make an urgent appointment. You may need a dilatation but talk with the

doctor first. I mean if you are having problems swallowing mushy food now well

who knows. Do you have problems taking any medication? If so you most definately

need to talk with a doctor. Good Luck. I had myotomy back in 2003 and it failed

within a few months and had to go on and have the ectomy in 2004.

Good luck ,

I hope that the doctor is completely familiar with your entire medical history

(and what a history that is!),

and can think of some approach that has not been tried before. It's been way too

long that you have been this way.

Makes Isabella's recovery time seem like a " drop in the bucket " even though that

seemed to go on forever, too.

We'll all be sending good thoughts your way!

Sorry for all the typos. My iPad has a crazy autocorrect. I didn't mean to type

cowpoke. I meant couple of days!!

, I just got back from Cleveland yesterday. Had all my testing done on

Friday. I did not get to consult with dr. Rice after the testing but we did

speak early in the morning before the testing. We looked at barium x-rays that I

brought with me. I have a 10.5cm esophagus at it's largest point and it makes

about a 90 degree turn to the left at the bottom where it meets my stomach. I am

not fighting gravity to get food down so he was optimistic that a myotomy would

save my esophagus from removal.

However, I swallow so well right now. I have no issues or symptoms of this

horrific disease. I feel lucky. I am not so sure a myotomy will improve much for

me.

And now reading your posts, it makes me feel discouraged that a myotomy may not

work as well as intended. My next step after myotomy would be ectomy and I would

like to prolong that surgery for as long as I can. So if a myotomy is going to

speed up my road to an ectomy, I would rather do nothing and wait till I have

symptoms.

How bad were your symptom s before you had the myotomy with dr. Rice? What were

you able to eat? Were you aspirating or regurgitating anything?
