Pills and Balloons

Heya, I know it has been awhile (again) but school started up last Monday and I have been pretty occupied with my homework and studies. I'm happy to say that it has kept me busy and distracted from the general pain caused my Achalasia. I've also been getting a crazy good amount of sleep, which seems to be helping a lot too. 

However, this weekend has been one of the hardest. The feeling of regurgitation has been getting more and more powerful. Every time I eat the pain has been more intense. It's like I can feel the food just sitting in my esophagus, not going anywhere. It is physically exhausting. I have spent a good portion of my weekend laying down and trying to relieve the pain. 

The good news, however, is that I finally got word from my doctors after weeks of waiting (yay!). Dr. C wants me to try taking a pill called a Calcium Channel Blocker which will relax the esophagus. Dr. C also noted that I was not supposed to be feeling symptoms again until I was about 40 or 50 years old. Well, sorry Dr. C, but I am feeling the pain and general irritation that is my disease. He told me my Achalasia is very aggressive, which makes it extra rare (yay?). Anyway, I should be starting this pill by Wednesday, so more to come on that!

But if the CCB doesn't work, I'm going to have to go in for a larger balloon dilation. And if that doesn't work, well, it's possible I will be back under the knife. Dr. C wants to avoid surgery due to its evasiveness, luckily it will be the last resort if needed. 

Here's to optimism and good health. Hoping for the CCB to work and hoping I don't have to go into surgery.

    Lupus as well.Dr Itua herbal made cure my HIV and gave me hope that he can cure all types of diseases I believed him) I do the best of myself that I can do, I went for a program in west Africa about fashion on another side I was HIV positive. I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well. I'm writing a lot about him this season so that is how I was cured by drinking Dr Itua herbal medicine, He's A caring man with godly heart. Well - everything I decided all go through for me well and how you're going to treat this new aspect to your life. You don't have to suffer alone, and it's okay to ask for help. It also doesn't have to be a constant demon, as you'll get to know your body and yourself in a much deeper way than most people. Take advantage of this, as it will help you appreciate Africa Herbal Made.
