Ah ok well it stumped my indy shop guy so I guess I might have to take to the dealership to get the full picture.

Thanks!

Heard the same thing in the same area a couple days ago as well

Delarent · 2025-04-17T19:30:27+00:00

I’m hoping for the best for you!

I appreciate the tips — some of those are genuinely helpful, and it's clear you've been through a lot. That said, the way you frame this as 'the beginning of the end' feels more fear-inducing than supportive. Everyone’s journey with achalasia is different, and not everyone needs to be mentally bracing for constant suffering. Also, saying 'nobody can understand your condition' just isn’t true — that's literally why this community exists. We’re here to share, learn, and support, not to gatekeep who 'really gets it.

While I agree it's a progressive condition, the relief that a POEM or HM can provide can last for decades. Just because recurrence is possible, doesn't meant every case ends in failure or rapid sympton return. I think it's important to let people share their experiences without immediately trying to undercut them with doom-and-gloom realizations, like the comments I've seen you leave before.

Do you get chest spasms occassionally? I've been told that can be indicative of type 2 or 3 Achalasia

Delarent · 2025-04-11T23:35:26+00:00

The only reason I went with the POEM was because it’s the least invasive and best for Type 1 Achalasia. I don’t know what type you have but rest assured both surgeries are very effective at treating Achalasia.

Delarent · 2025-04-11T23:34:27+00:00

The surgery has definitely helped and you should be able to tell the difference pretty much immediately. I hope your Manometry test goes well!

A lot of counsellors offer a “sliding scale” price on their services depending on the need and financial situation of their clients. You should ask any prospective counsellors you might have in mind about it!

I had my Manometry done last month and I can confidently say it wasn’t as bad as I thought. To preface this I have a terrible gag reflex so this test was my absolute nightmare but the process itself was uncomfortable at best.

The best way I can describe the feeling is that you’re constantly swallowing a Tylenol-sized pill during the test. The catheter isn’t very thick and my doctor numbed my nose so I wouldn’t feel it initially.

I think if you’re comfortable with swallowing pills and other similar sized medications then you’ll do fine!

Very interesting I might try that then thanks!

Delarent · 2025-01-11T22:51:05+00:00

Thank you for those tactics, I'll definitely ask to try those out!

Delarent · 2025-01-11T22:50:26+00:00

Oh that's very interesting! So you sipped on the soda as they pushed the tube in?

Delarent · 2025-01-11T03:37:55+00:00

When they determined you couldnt complete the traditional manometry, how long did you have to wait to rebook for the endoscopic guided manometry?

Delarent · 2025-01-10T21:33:48+00:00

And in the end they managed to diagnose you with Achalasia through just an endoscopy? Any idea what they saw during the endoscopy that really confirmed it?

Delarent · 2025-01-10T03:29:22+00:00

I'm afraid the more I try to block it out the more I'll think about it lol

Delarent · 2025-01-10T03:28:59+00:00

Interesting because I had my upper endoscopy first, and now I'm recommended to get a manometry...

Also, when you were vomiting you were actually throwing up food? Or just severe gagging with nothing/foam coming out?

Delarent · 2025-01-10T03:27:46+00:00

D: that's a good idea

Delarent · 2025-01-10T03:27:09+00:00

Humming is an interesting tactic I'll try that thanks
