Botox Possibly A Success

So far I have had good experiences with eating normal foods again.

Yesterday I decided to try to eat meatloaf and needlesstosay that was a bad idea. I guess ground beef is already as "ground up" as it's going to get. Your teeth can't possibly grind it up anymore than it already appears. Strangely enough, chicken has been going down really well. It must be the differences in textures. As usual, rice and pastas go down just fine.

I'm so happy because I think this may be working. If botox can make really old people have teenage faces again, it should be able to relax my crazy esophagus.

My doctor finally explained to me something that actually made the most sense. He explained to me why my esophagus is stricting. Basically, the brain can't or won't send signals to the esophagus telling it to relax. The only message it receives is "contract". So, it is doing what it's been told--contracting.

It's crazy how you take everything in your body for granted until one day it doesn't work anymore. If anything, Achalasia has made me appreciate the other systems of my body that do work properly.

Be sure to take the time out of your day to thank your body for what it can do. It may help to keep it going stronger for longer. Couldn't hurt anyway.
