Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi Nikki, My daugther was 9 when she was diagnosed with Achalasia. She is now 10. In November, 2006, she had surgery. Today, she is doing well. This is a lifelong disease that we are learning to deal with. Let me know if you want to talk more. youngins Heyy i was just wondering does anyone know any young people with achalasia? Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hey Nikki - I'm not considered a 'youngin' anymore, I just turned 40 but I've had A since the age of 12 so I am proof positive that it is very manageable and liveable over the long haul. There are quite a few of us grownups that got diagnosed as teenagers. Does that help? The youngest I remember hearing about on this group was Francesca out in Cali. She had a myotomy at age 5. It is rare, but we do exist. - in NC > > Heyy i was just wondering does anyone know any young people with achalasia? > > --------------------------------- > Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi! Don't feel bad about not telling anyone sooner. I am older (40), I work in the medical profession and I REALLY should have done something sooner about my symptoms I think it is common for symptoms to be reported late and for doctors to take a while to figure out what is going on. I am glad you have a place to come and read about achalasia!
