This is a pretty difficult question to answer as everyone is different (feel like i'm repeating myself here!). Different people, different levels of this disease.
Generally, I'm a happy, healthy, outgoing person. I've lived with this disease for 12 years. I've had my good days and some very dark days where I just thought 'I can't do this anymore' as a result of being mentally and physically exhausted. I've learnt to listen to my body, which foods are OK for me and others to avoid.
One thing we have to remember is that disease, despite all the medical research that's out there, it didn't come with instructions and there's NO CURE (yet!). So I just take one day at a time....I am an Achalasia Warrior, just as you are :-)
