Snoel, thanks for your response. I am on plasmapheresis, and it does help me. Like you, it is worse for me when it is time for my next treatment. I don't generally do a lot of talking and socializing, but yes, that can make it worse also. Rest helps!

Sending good wishes your way, hoping that the IVIG helps as much as possible. Choking is a tough thing. I agree, staying cool and breathing in and out is a helpful thing! I try to stay peaceful inside as much as I can, also, and that helps, if that makes sense. If I get upset by the fact that I'm choking, that seems to make it all even worse. It is a bit unnerving, but it's possible to let it get to me even further. Perhaps that makes sense. So I do my best to stay peaceful, and that seems to be a good strategy.

Thinking of you,
Erin
