So fed p and depressed.

I have had Achalasia now for nearly a decade an its not getting any better mentally it is destroying me. I suffer dehydration low blood sugar ll i do is sit in my room curtains closed being sick. The omeprazole and Gaviscon is doing nothing. I drink water and it feels like drinking bleach cant keep nothing down. I fear for another balloon dialation because I was told it could be fatal. I cant have a hellors because my sphincter is to badly scarred.
If it wasnt for my son needing me so much I would leave this planet gladly. I hate hospitals so much i dont think i could cope going. Something is making my esophugus raw and I cant put my foot on why. I am starving thirsty and so suicidal right now.

There sounds like there is a serious problem that needs urgent attention regarding the cause of your vomiting / regurgitation. If the worst comes to the worst a surgeon may need to remove your oesophagus, and people do get to the stage when this becomes necessary. I know lots of people who have had this surgery who enjoy a much better quality of life than you have at the moment, and this may therefore be a good option for you.

I too have had achalasia for around 12 years & despair at the lack of treatment there seems to be available but my symptoms are not so severe as yours. I really feel for you. I hope you can get some support & maybe feel a little better about being alive.
I wish you all the best

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you are experiencing. Like you, I found that Omeprazole and Gaviscon had no impact; but a large glass of cold milk works wonders for me - so you may want to experiment with different fluids to find one that works for you.
I would also pursue further consultations / investigations by your consultant to get a better managed situation, since most 'Achalasians' seem to get to a point where the disorder is tolerable in most circumstances.
All the best,
Mick
