One of my motives behind creating this blog was to create more awareness about Achalasia. It is an embarassing and difficult disease to have to deal with. Running to the bathroom multiple times during a meal, having difficultly eating (which is a public activity), and looking like you ate almost nothing at all, can be humiliating. One of the reasons I was heasitant to talk about it was because I assumed most people would think I just had a eating disorder, rather than a physical ailment.

One of the reasons so little is known about Achalasia is due to lack of research. By creating more awareness, hopefully more will want to help fund research so that one day a cure can be found.
Thanks!
