My Achalasia Treatment
Donation protected
I'm that 1 in 100,000 with ACHALASIA... I've been under going treatment for my Achalasia for some time now. Achalasia is a rare disorder of the esophagus. It makes eating and drinking very difficult because your esophagus is paralyzed. I was diagnosed in 2011 with Achalasia but my doctor said I was born with it. I'm at the final stages of the disorder and my esophagus is starting to deteriorate. I have been traveling back and forth to Houston for some years now for treatment and several surgeries. I will be undergoing another major surgery to open my esophagus and remove the area of it that is wrapped around my diaphragm which has recently made it very hard and painful for me to swallow anything. There's a high risk of losing my complete esophagus during the surgery because of my disorder and the state in which my esophagus is currently in. Eating has become very difficult and my doctors have put me on a full liquid diet. I'm on medicine around the clock because I experience a lot of pain due to my esophageal spasms. I'm asking for continued prayers for my three wonderful children and I.The out of pocket, deductibles and traveling out of state expenses for treatment have become costly. I'm reaching out to friends and family for help...
