I think the IBS was a misdiagnosis when the sarcoid and MAC were undetected.

You’re too kind! Back at ya!:)

If you are a part of this group, it seems like you get so much info. I am sure you will get good advice and the direction and tests to follow.

I never did either. My husband had the surgery for it when we were in Tennessee. It helped him quite a bit!

Irene, I think the more we know or pass on like this, is a great way to learn more. Just the two days of being on this has helped me so much. Thank you for your support and answers.

You are such a positive person to me.

What surgery did your husband have and how long ago?

It was diagnosed at the University of Michigan hospital while other hospitals did not known even mention this.

If my brother didn't mention it and I got our neighbor's medical texts to look it up. Our neighbor was shocked that he and others never heard of it during school except very briefly.

@macjane , Hi Jane. I looked up 'achalasia'. I like to learn about various medical conditions, especially those that affect our Connect members. You may have read that many on this site suffer from a similar disorder of inhaling bits of acid reflux, thus causing lung damage.
