I have achalasia and eosinophilic esophagitis. Took 3 years to be diagnosed with the achalasia. I had increased difficulty swallowing for several years. Finally was able to see a GI specialist who ordered a manometry. I had a POEM surgery in 2022 which helped for a bit. Then I sought a second opinion at another institution and was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis. It is an uphill battle every day!
