Then soon after I started having severe swallowing difficulty it would take me 1/2 hour to eat a hamburger and kept worsening afterwards, It got to a point that I couldn't drink nor eat solids, jello and yogurt and thickened liquids became my diet for about a month and I soon started losing weight and just kept getting weaker

This didn't happen overnight, that's when I started seeing my GP and thought I had Cardio problems, I also had heart palpitations and upset stomach a lot.

Please don't wait till it gets to this point, now that I know what a CRISIS is ACT IMMEDIATELY and consult with your neuro.

Don't be scared, I was but now feel better I ever had, breathing, eating, swallowing all have improved from before hand it just creeps up on you so slowly you don't notice it until it's to late, my vision has improved too my Optometrist asked me what I had done, she was amazed on how it had improved after being under medication.

Good Luck and don't be afraid about getting help, just don't let go we're all with you! Once you're under medication it'll be for you to adjust to your new lifestyle and capabilities I have and don't regret it, I feel much better, I'm back to work 5 days a week 30 ish hours, back to walking and biking and a bunch of other things. I'm still improving as time goes by...
