Anything New?

[Guest guest]

I am a long time survivor of achalasia. I just recently had surgery

for a bulging disc in my neck and now I am having more trouble with the

achalasia. It seems as though that I have regressed to the days before

I learned to get along and get by with this dreaded disease. I was

just checking in to see if there is anything new that they can do for

us that have it.

Some of you may remember me, I am the redneck that had my own way of

handling the problem. I would use warm canned diet colas to help get

my food to go down. It is still working but since the surgery it is

not working as well. I think that it is just scar tissue that wil get

better but I wanted to see if any of you had found any " real relief " .

Hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you have an even

better CHRISTmas.
