starting to have occasional little problems

[Guest guest]

Hi, Fellow Achalasians,

      I've been having little problems lately and I'm thinking it's due to

stress.

My myotomy was in January 2006 and since then, my single biggest problem

has been saliva pooling.  If it's really bad, I wake up gagging and coughing,

and

trying to get my breathing back to normal.

      But then, just recently, I've had nausea and a lot of vomiting, too.  And

about two weeks ago it was awful: vomiting, gagging, up and down to the

bathroom during the wee hours, bringing up bile, and finally getting to sleep

at 11 a.m.  I tried to link it with what I was eating but it didn't signify. 

And

I've been getting more NCCPs too.

      So.  Stress?  (I've got some Blue Ribbon ticket items on-going right

now in the stress dept.)  I think stress makes achalasia " act up " .

       Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks,

Deborah, still at the doggone beach in California and wish I wasn't
