If this disease has taught me one thing, that is to be thankful for the little things in life.I found a good place to get my lunch at. I tried a "Stawberry Hulk" today, which has a whopping 964 calories in it; just what I need to gain back the 20 lbs I lost!! Also, the slogan is perfect, chewing is over-rated. For those who suffer from Achalasia, we all know blended things are easier to swallow.

Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder affecting about one person in 100,000 per year. There is no known cause or cure, but recent research shows that it is an acquired neurodegenerative disease due to the failure of distal esophageal inhibitory neurons (autoimmune disease). I created this blog to keep friends and family updated, as well as to help inform others who may be dealing with the same disorder. I am just a patient, hoping my shared experiences may help others. Thank you!
"chewing is over-rated" lol. Good one! I am right there w u. When I have my surgery I will be so thankful that I can chug down a giant glass of water (used to be sodas). I can't wait to eat salads and those organic healthy foods I have always wanted to try. Thank you for sharing I will so be a follower of this blog (I'm not really into blogs but since we're "in the same boat" u inspire me!)
