Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Less than a month before I got pg with my baby I had lung surgery. I had more chest x-rays than a normal person gets in a life time. I also had lots of drugs and was on strong pain meds when I first got pregnant. I often wonder if this had anything to do with his problems. I have been told they did not, but still as a mom we wonder. I think we were built to blame ourselves for every little thing that might possibly be wrong with our children. NO matter how much we know it isn't our fault. -- > , as you know I have 2 children and both have an immune deficiency.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Tamera, It is more common in older people, gastric problems that is! As the body ages so does the insides and all the muscles relax, causing problems. As my grandmother gets older she is now having issues and so is my mother, both have hernias! They say there is no genetic link with this disease. Who knows. Maybe our bodies think we are old LOL.

I probaly did not spell that right. I am tired I do apoligize. Anyway I just got back from Washington and was taking care of my Aunt. I have found out that her my cousin as well as my Grandfather all wich are all on my mothers side. They all have the early signs of " A " . I have talked to my Aunt and I think I have her convinced to go get the testing done. The more I look into my family history the more I find clues to " A " although most are not as severe as mine. The signs are still there. Has anyone else noticed a pattern in their families. However small maybe just maybe there is some sort of genetic link. I mean come on although I personally have only traveled to Japan I have never been in South America to be bitten by some bug there. No offense to anyone who is from there. just my thoughts any takers? Tamara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 wrote: .... does anyone know of A passing on in families. .. Hi, It can in some very rare versions, not the primary achalasia most of us have. Achalasia is rare and having a family connection is very rare. In such types of genetically related problems it is much much more likely to find siblings that share a disorder than a parent and child, unless one parents had it and other also had it or at least carried the gene(s), which would be very unlikely. In the case of Meghan you would expect that even if she has a genetic version the father of her son would have to also be carrying the gene(s), which is very unlikely. It is possible but not at all probable. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Dear , It is lovely to hear from you. I still have my photograph of the 3 of you. Now of course it is 4 and your Easter grandson is already a year old. I believe that the information from Notan is very intelligent and I think it would be wrong of you to speculate at this time. I honestly think it is unlikely that he will have achalasia. There are many different things that this could be caused by and probably will turn out to be something treatable and something to move on from. You are in the good situation where you are armed with a lot of knowledge about the oesophagus and stomach, as is Hannah. This means that you will be able to have an informed discussion with the technicians and doctors and are much more likely to understand what is going on. This knowledge will empower you. Please let us all know the outcome. I will be thinking of you. Please give Hannah my fondest love.

He is going for a swallow x ray at Alder Heyin Liverpool on 28th April - although his symptoms are different in that he wretches when he tries to eat - does anyone know of A passing on in families. I can remember that my daughterwhen she was little was very particular with eating - only eating smallpieces and refused to eat solids until she was past the age of one. The sad part is he really wants to eat!!
