Hello @Lilywebb2001. How are you feeling today?

I'm really sorry to hear that you've been experiencing symptoms of achalasia. It's completely understandable to feel anxious about your upcoming manometry test, and I wish you the best of luck with finding the right treatment. Although it is a rare diagnosis, please remember that you are not alone in fighting it and that you can always reach out to our community if you feel like talking about it with someone.

I'll go ahead and tag a few members of our community who might be able to share their experiences with achalasia: @Kelsam @Micshane @oriax22 @minisonuc @KeanuReeves1 @linjan56 @millyntilly

Hello everyone, How are you?

How did you feel when you were first diagnosed with achalasia? What has helped you cope with it? We would love to hear from you.

Take care now,

Somya from the Carenity team
