Thanks so much to everyone for their replies. I'm really grateful! I see the local neurologist tomorrow, and I'll talk with her and get her advice. I see the specialist at the teaching hospital in about a week.

I'm sorry that others face swallowing issues, too, but it sounds like there must be things that can be done. That means the neurologist I saw in the past (not the current one) was incorrect when he said that. It's encouraging to think there may be something I can do. It does go up and down in intensity, and when my other symptoms are worse, that is worse also. I suppose that is logical.

I just want to wish everyone well out there who is dealing with MG. Keep on keeping on!

Take care,
Erin
