Story about Achalasia .

Oh I have that too!

Oct 14, 2018

Year Condition Began: 1980


Always had issues with food, to which I was labelled fussy.
Suffered until I was 28 and had a doctor who could see that something was not right and made me have test after test to get to the bottom of it.
Finally got a diagnosis just as I was about to move to the other side of the world, great timing.
But as it happened the gods were one my side, the GP is was assigned to in Asia said she knew of someone who could help me, her husband was one of the top specialists in Asia.
He was amazing he let me read all the papers that he had in his possession and the ones he had written so I could understand my condition better.
I have had 2 balloon dilations and am now waiting to see a consultant with regards to my next options.
