Re: I am back-Priti

[Guest guest]

I agree....bring on 2012!!!

2011 has been a horrible year for health.

I don't know you Priti, but I know how you must be feeling. I lost my Dad a few

years ago.

The year started with me falling down stairs in Feb and badly injuring my ankle.

Then I ended up with glass in my eye in June when putting away wine glasses.

And finally I got diagnosed with A and had my HM done (along with a huge hiatus

hernia fixed and a partial fundo)....and that's just me!

My 16 year old dislocated his knees...one in sep and one in oct!!!

The medical bills this year have been insane!

I hope 2012 is a better year...for all of us!

paralyzed? Has anyone ever had slurred speech, or difficulty saying the G, K,

and ing syllables? Food feels like it's stuck the top of the E, about two inches

down from the ear lobes? This has been progressively getting worse since about 8

weeks after my heller myotomy with Dr. Luketich. Sometimes it's coffee related

but sometimes it just gets worse without coffee.

a problem with food not getting into the stomach. That's a lower E issue. What I

have is totally new, it's up at the top, at least from what I can tell. At least

I can eat again, I gained 11 pounds in 3 weeks! Everything still works it's just

getting slightly more paralyzed every week. I'm starting to freak out because

I've never heard of this part of A.

I really feel for children and teenagers who get this condition so young....it

must be so hard on the whole family. As adults we are able to cope with it so

much better.

Oh my gosh , you really are having a bad year. I am so sorry to hear

about your bad luck this year. Bad year for me too! I was diagnosed with A also

this year and my medical bills skyrocketed! I had to get a second job on the

weekends so I could keep my head above water, while almost starving to death. I

only had the pneumatic dilation though but it is so much better than what it

was!!!

I am praying for a better year!

Good luck and happy holidays to everyone!
