Have you had problems swallowing before? What foods are tolerable? How do you manage to take any prescription pills?
Usually I have problems swallowing any kind of food or drink when I have a lot of stress going on. Those times I have found relief in getting off by myself, focusing on my food, and purposely swallowing. Relaxing before I take another bite and focusing again. Sometimes I put on soft music to help me relax.
If I am at a restaurant, it is best to box up my meal and take it home. It is so embarrassing to have food squirt out your nose when you are out to eat!Yes
Yes on a food tube for 2 years. When i went to hospital I couldn't speak or swallow.
I had swallowing problems 2 weeks after my initial MG symptom, ptosis. I couldn’t even swallow water. I was starving. I tried some V8. With Its heavier consistency, I could swallow. I lived on V8 two weeks before I was diagnosed!
