Have you had problems swallowing before? What foods are tolerable? How do you manage to take any prescription pills?
Yes, I was diagnosed with MG because of slurred speech. As I continued speaking thinking this wasn't serious, by days end I couldn't swallow and that lasted for about 4 days. Since then, when I start slurring I stop talking for a couple of hours.
Just a few weeks ago for the first time. I couldn't even get slippery noodles down. It was very scary. It seemed like liquid and applesauce were the only things I could swallow very slowly.
I am better now, but also always have a drink close by.Yes, I have had similar experiences. I also have problems choking on liquids and solids.
No but now I do. I eat very slow and try not have that to happen. I have false teeth so henders much more. Chips especially are dangerous, and I love them and Mexican food. I now have to watch every bite I take.
