I'm glad you are still here. Seems like last I heard you were

considering dialation? Have you had any treatment yet.

Steve, wow, little crabby today? That happens, but still giving us

updates might help some others. Seems like you were having some

really rough issues last I remember, what are you doing now for

treatment? Are your pain treatments helping? This may not come

across the way I intend. Others have already jumped on you, and I

agree, but perhaps the real issue is you are just miserable about how

you feel? And you lashed out? You could maybe describe your latest

issues and help others, and maybe find some compassion, friendship

from some here.

Really, there aren't many other places to find others who suffer from

the same disease, you are kind of stuck with us, with our real or

imagined faults and benefits. We all get irritated, and some

postings are annoying to some people. is having a rough time

with complications from many health issues, seemingly centered around

achalasia, same as you. We don't like doctors when they treat only

one symptoms without looking at the whole of us. Same as we hope a

support group looks at the whole of us, not just the few inches of

the esophagus.

Achalasia is an emotional disease, and you demonstrated that.

Perhaps you can help by telling others what went wrong in your

medical past to help keep others from the same problems. Also what

went right that makes you have good days.
